Episode 124 - Eddie Leighton - ZS6BNE - in person On a recent trip to
South Africa, I had the great opportunity to have an "eyeball" with Eddie
Leighton, ZS6BNE. Eddie drove from his home QTH in Lichtenburg,
three-hundred kilometers to Johannesburg, where he spent the afternoon of
November 2nd with me. He brought along his "minimalist" RaDAR, or rapid
deployment amateur radio rig to demonstrate how easy it is to carry an HF
radio into the field, set it up, and make contacts. This interview was
recorded with Eddie as we were setting up his rig on the patio of friend's
house in Johannesburg. Show Notes
