Episode 176 - Hal Turley - W8HC
Hal Turley, W8HC, is a veteran DXpeditioner who is
headed for Bouvet Island, perhaps the Worlds most remote Island and DX
entity, in a few weeks. Hal tells his ham radio story, his discovery and
the satisfaction that he gains from working DX, and his personal
preparations for his upcoming trek to Bouvet Island with the 3Y0Z
DXpedition team. W8HC is my QSO Today.
