Thanks

Hello and welcome  to a special announcement on the DX Mentor podcast. Very soon we will publish an interview with Adrian, KO8SCA, of the 3Y0J Bouvet Island DXPedition.

This DXpedition was one of the most widely published and anticipated operations in recent memory. There has been a lot of praise, criticism, misinformation, and questions about this DXpedition and Adrian will address our questions in the frank and honest manner that he always assumes.

Coincidently, Adrian will be the keynote speaker at the DXDinner held at the Marriott on the Friday of Hamvention weekend.

To make sure you don’t miss this, subscribe to the DX Mentor podcast and/or the DX Mentor YouTube channel.

One of the innovators and risk takers in our hobby is Eric Guth, 4Z1UG. Eric is pushing the envelope with his QSO Today virtual Ham Expo. This is literally an amateur exposition behind a pain of glass. 

Eric’s initial foray into newer technologies was the launch of his QSO Today Podcast where he interviews Ham Radio Operators. He recently finished #441 which is quite a feat. How does this tie into the DX Mentor, well….you’ll just have to listen!
