AEDC’s Bill Shappley combines old and new technology to reach out globally
A stack of QSL cards, post cards from fellow amateur radio operators all around world, represent the capability, range and versatility of ham radio equipment and operators to AEDC’s Bill Shappley. A QSL card is used to confirm either a two-way radio communication between two amateur radio stations or a one-way reception of a signal from a radio, television or shortwave broadcasting station. Shappley has been receiving and sending the cards since earning his ham radio operator’s license in 2004. The electrical engineering lead with ATA has been an active participant in ham radio since his coworker, Jack Frazier, talked Shappley into giving the hobby a try in 2003.
