Episode 131 - Brian Clarke - VK2GCE Brian Clarke, VK2GCE, has been
a "ham" since his childhood in New Zealand who went on to get advanced
degrees, compared a trumpet to a waveguide, built a recording studio in
London for Pink Floyd, and now resides in Australia where he promotes
amateur radio and consults on STEM programs for schools.
Brian is a collector of ex-military radios. VK2GCE is my QSO Today.
