Episode 43 - NE8Z - Rick

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 In this episode of The DX Mentor, our #DX gurus, will discuss: NE8Z, Rick, and his passion for Ecuador, the Galapagos Islands, and DX! Here are the topics: Intro to all – W8GEX and NE8Z Rick – How did you get in to Ham Radio? (first licensed etc.) How did you get in to DXing? You have been on at least 60 DXpeditions, tell us about the highlights of a couple What was your favorite? What modes and equipment do you use? I think I have worked you the most when you were in HC and HC8. How were those Experiences? Who is HD8MM? Do I recall that you have achieved DXCC from the Galapagos? What advice to you have for those of us trying to break pileups? Where are you going next? References: Lonesome George: This is The DX Mentor podcast.
