QSO Today Amateur RAdio Podcast - Podcasts
/////////////////////////////////////////// NY0V Posted: 16 Sep 2016 05:16 AM PDT http://www.qsotoday.com/podcasts/ny0v Episode 111 - Tom Vinson - NY0V Imagine that you get your dream job out of college, and later as part of that job, your employer wants you to solve a riddle that will take years or never to complete. For Tom Vinson, NY0V, that dream job for a ham was with the Collins Radio Company, later Rockwell Collins, and the riddle was to assist Nauticos Corp. to find the wreckage of Amelia Earharts Lockheed Electra L10E aircraft somewhere in the South Pacific. He could use the technology and human resources of the company to solve this riddle. Tom recounts this story with Eric, 4Z1UG, in this QSO Today.
