This is The DX Mentor podcast. I hope to help those hams trying to move up the DXCC ladder as well as those that at on the DXCC Honor Roll. As fast as technology is moving, no one can keep up on it all.

I am here to help. #DX #Hamradio

Our guests were Ed, W0YK, and Joe, W8GEX

The topics that we covered included:

Intros - Joe, W8GEX, and then you

How did you get in to Ham Radio?

How did you get in to chasing DX?

You have operated from Japan, Syria, Jamaica, and the Galapagos.

Can you give us highlights of those operations?

How did you get in to contesting?

RTTY:

Describe it a bit

Seems to be your favorite mode, what do you like about it?

Are there still DX stations using RTTY?

Describe the various RTTY contests

It would seem to me to be as popular as ever, correct?

Let's talk about the RTTY sprint - seems daunting to me
