Episode 452 – George Heron – N2APB

Picture
George Heron, N2APB, loves the design, collaboration, and building  of electronic devices for amateur radio, along with his friend and mentor, Joe Everhart, N2CX, now a silent key.  Together, they shared their discoveries live on their Chat with the Designers podcast, until October 2018. Every aspect of amateur radio interests George, from test equipment and restored vintage radios to stand alone SDR transceivers and  more efficient designs of magnetic loop antennas. N2APB  is Eric, 4Z1UG’s  QSO Today.
