Episode 112 - Keith Ranger - G0KJK Keith Ranger, G0KJK, now retired from
the Church of England, has had a lifelong love of electronics and radio who
has never owned a commercially manufactured amateur radio. Instead Keith
builds his own receivers and transmitters, works the World, makes contacts,
and rag chews. He quickly dispels the notion that ham radio is an
expensive hobby and demonstrates how to have fun and enjoy the amateur
radio hobby for very little money. Keith joins Eric, 4Z1UG, on this episode
of QSO Today. Show Notes
