Episode 129 - David White - WN5Y David White, WN5Y, is a home-brewer from
the beginning of his ham radio story, and loves to build HF receivers.
Originally inspired by the designs of the late Lew McCoy, W1ICP, and later
Wes Hayward, W7ZOI, Davids latest receivers are called electroluminescent
because he incorporates LEDs as components in the receiver design itself,
and not just as front panel indicators. David shares his story in this QSO
Today. Show Notes
