QSO with Bill Murray, W9VC

I met Bill Murray, W9VC at our local QRP Club several years ago and have
always been fascinated at his approach to the hobby.

Bill enjoys building his own tube-type gear from parts salvaged from his
frequent hamfest forays, often challenging himself to see how many
transmitters he can build from a single salvaged radio.

Because he builds so much tube-type equipment, he has become an expert and
collector of tube-testing gear. He shared that with us at a recent club
meeting and suddenly, there was another facet of the hobby that I found
interesting.

He’s a CW-only operator who also enjoys taking radio with him on his many
trail adventures in Michigan.

Bill was interviewed recently for the QSO Today podcast and I think you
might find it interesting.
