There is no time like the present to sail the South Pacific, solo, with amateur radio. This is exactly what my guest today, Susan Meckley, W7KFI, did for almost twenty years until she turned eighty and retired from the open seas. As a ham for almost seventy years, Susan developed a love for 20 meter CW and sailing and combined them both in her journey that she shares with me, Eric, 4Z1UG, in this QSO Today.
