Episode 319 – Bill Saylers – AJ8B
 |
Bill Saylers, AJ8B, had a great ham radio start as a kid in the Seventies. Bill loves to work CW to pursue DXCC and just to rag chew and communicate. He hones his skills with the help of CWOPS and is open to the opportunities afforded by all of the new digital modes. AJ8B is my QSO Today.
