Our First Listener: Brad Smith, WA5PSA

I got a nice message yesterday from Brad Smith, WA5PSA.  Brad told me that he had listened to both of the Pete Juliano podcasts...TWICE.  As a result, he is planning to build a phone rig.

In the message Brad reminded me that he was the source of the very first feedback that Mike, KL7R, and I received about the SolderSmoke podcast.   I remember it very well.  We had uploaded SolderSmoke#1, and were wondering if ANYONE had listened.  Then came this message from Brad (was it an e-mail?) saying that he'd listened to the show AS HE JOGGED THROUGH TULSA, OKLAHOMA.  Wow!  Tulsa!  Our voices from London and Juneau had been heard in ear-buds by a jogger in Tulsa, OK.   It was a bit like when you were a kid and you ran into the kitchen to tell your mom that you had just talked to a guy in TULSA.  Somehow, that day, Tulsa seemed as exotic as Tokyo.

Thanks Brad!  Good luck with the phone rig.  Hope to work you on 17.
