Show Notes
Clint Sprott, a retired physics professor, has dominated the Wisconsin Parks on the Air contest for eight consecutive years. This ham radio event, held in state parks, sees operators making contacts over the airwaves. Sprott, known as Whiskey Nine Alpha Victor, has a wide reach, pulling in signals from all over. The event, WIPOTA, is part of the larger Parks on the Air program, with a spring version coming up in April. Sprotts passion for ham radio started at age twelve, and he now reunites annually with childhood friend Quent Cassen for non-stop radio action. Last year, Sprott and Cassen secured the highest number of contacts, proving their streaks not a fluke. Ham radio enthusiasts cherish the thrill of fresh air, brain teasers, and global connections, with events building bonds that last decades.
