Meet the Moroccan Ham!

KC4R, John,  originally licensed as WA4RHU in Morocco while deployed on active duty with the United States Navy in 1963 (20 year Veteran) had not only the Playground Team but the North Okaloosa Team come out for completion work on a beam and rotor install (from a previous build) located in gorgeous Gulf Breeze Florida!

While in Morocco John recalls details of DX’ing along with the former King of Morocco CN8MH! That’s right!!! Amateur Radio is fit for a King and for all of you as well (depicted below)!

The stacks of the QSL cards that John has offers a long history and informational view point of how the hobby has evolved over the years and remained worthy of the crown! Depicted below is KI4ZER, KN4UDS, KQ4FRB and Michelle (studying in progressish). As you can see in the photos, John’s shack has great equipment and is simple to use. His tilt over tower and beam are manual crank (like the catapults you’ll still find in Morocco! <-True Story, look it up! The weather was perfect for this task and the shade provided by a beautiful tree!

Be sure to listen for John, KC4R in CW across the bands but this time, from the wonderful coast of Florida!
