Rotary Club Presentation December 12, 2001

Brian Wermager, KØEOU, gave a well-received presentation on amateur radio at the December 12th meeting of the Brainerd Lakes Rotary Club. The program was arranged by Orcena Lyle, WØQT, a member of the Brainerd Lakes Rotary. Brian described the history of amateur radio and used a display of radios to show how the size of radios has decreased over the years. He played a tape recording he had made of a QSO he had a few days earlier with “Paul” who was in Kostanay, Kazakhstan (formerly part of Russia) and told the group some things about the political, religious, and geographical aspects of Kazakhstan, based on several conversations with Paul. Brian now has had radio contact with all the countries in the world, having recently bagged North Korea, which previously had been closed to amateur radio communication.  Orcena Lyle, WØQT

Brian is a Past President of the Brainerd Area Amateur Radio Club.  He served October of 1995 to October of 1997.
