Episode 347 - Patrick Brown - AK5TX
Patrick (Pat) Brown, AK5TX, has always had a
love for radio leading to opportunities from Chicago to Alaska to Texas!
Amateur radio was the game-changer for Pat when he suddenly lost his
eyesight, almost 20 years ago. Pat is now "More than able, I am
Handi-Capable!" He continues his journey including contributing to our art,
hobby, craft, sport, and science in the amateur community residing in Tyler
Texas. He is a part of our amazing hobby. Today, my QSO is AK5TX!
