Episode 514 – Steve Corley – N5BZM

Picture
Steve Corley, N5BZM, discovered ham radio, almost by accident, by the intervention of his mother with an FCC official attempting to scare a teenager out of operating a CB radio improperly.  Steve loves the range and variety of amateur radio opportunities and started a Ham Radio Auctions business to aid amateurs to find buyers and the heirs of deceased ham radio operators to properly dispose of their equipment.  N5BZM stresses the importance of HF to amateur radio and tells his story in this QSO Today.
