Visiting Visalia: Bob N6TV and Why You Should Go

Bob Wilson, N6TV, was a repeat attendee at the 2024 International DX Convention (IDXC) in Visalia, California. Bob started his amateur radio journey in high school and went to Visalia for the first time just before his freshman year at college. It's clear that Visalia holds a special significance for Bob. That early experience shaped his perspective about the hobby and contributed to his accumulation of expertise. In the decades since, Bob has become a well-known figure in the ham radio community. Now retired, he remains actively engaged in contesting as well as managing a side gig where he builds specialized equipment, like the Y-box, to improve radio connectivity. Additionally, Bob is a field tester for Elecraft, the popular California-based ham radio manufacturer.   Bob Wilson, N6TV, embodies why attending Visalia, or any of the major international ham radio conventions, is a good decision: connectivity, camaraderie, and knowledge.
