Episode 086 - Grayson Evans - TA2ZGE/KJ7UM
If you wanted to homebrew QRP
radios with vacuum tubes, or "thermatrons", then the go to guy would be
Grayson Evans, TA2ZGE, author of the book, Hollow State Devices, the primer
that he always wanted to read, but had to write himself. Grayson joins
Eric, 4Z1UG, to discuss his ham radio life, "thermatrons", home brewing,
and operating QRP, from his QTH in Ankara, Turkey.
