Episode 368 - Mark Beckwith - N5OT
Mark Beckwith, N5OT, grew up in Southern
California, befriended by amateur radios most famous television producer,
Dave Bell, W6AQ, who was his amateur radio mentor in the 1970s. Dave
opened a lot of doors to Mark, allowing Mark to build up his contesting and
DX on-the-air skills. Mark was a professional opera singer for over 30
years, leading to some interesting conversation both on and off the QSO
Today microphone. N5OT is my QSO Today.
