Episode 113 - Bill Kelsey - N8ET Bill Kelsey, N8ET, has a long and
interesting amateur radio career beginning in 1962. From his interest in
QRP and QRP kits, Bill founded the Kanga Kit Company, creating radio and
test equipment kits for the ham community for many years. While Bill is
recovering from a recent stroke, he still has projects on his workbench,
now using Arduino processors, pursuing UHF moon bounce, and finds time to
operate the Digital modes. Bill joins Eric, 4Z1UG, in this QSO Today.
