MEMBERS SPOTLIGHT
Bill Freeman (KE1G)
The club member spotlight for this month showcases Bill Freeman, KE1G. Bill's interest in amateur radio started at a young age as he received his novice license at the age of 13, on March 5, 1963. Nonetheless, the novice license had a short validity of one year and was not renewable. Subsequently, Bill had to wait until approximately 1972 to obtain his technician license to begin transmitting.
I’ve been involved in radio as a hobby for over 60 years. I am an avid shortwave and medium wave DXer. I built general coverage communications receivers at the age of 10. I still have a collection of vintage communications receivers from the 1960s through the 1980s, along with an extensive paper QSL card and pennant collection.
