Episode 529 Jake Groenhof N0LX
Manage episode 500759287 series 79025
Jake Groenhof, N0LX, discovered amateur radio in the 1960s thanks to his uncle’s impressive home station and his father’s interest in CB radio.. Over the years, Jake turned his curiosity into a lifetime of experiments — from pedestrian-mobile DX with just 5 watts and an endfed antenna tethered to a balloon, to building saltwater antennas in PVC pipes, to flying pico balloons that circled the Earth six times. Along the way, he’s set records, designed clever portable gear, and inspired others to push the limits of what amateur radio can do. N0LX is my QSO Today.
