On Thursday November 5, 2015, SCARC presents: “An Evening With Glenn Johnson, WØGJ”. Glenn is one of the top DXpeditioners in the world today. He has been part of some of the most difficult and rarest amateur radio expeditions of the past 15 years! Most recently, Glenn was the Co-Team Leader of the highly successful and #1 Most-Wanted, K1N Navassa Island expedition, which occurred this past February. WØGJ's presentations will begin at 7:00.

• "2015 K1N Navassa DXpedition” Many years of planning were required to bring this world class event and contacts to amateur radio operators around the world.

• “Is 3db worth a divorce?” Improving station performance without breaking the bank.

Glenn is an Iowa State University Alum (Forestry/Ecology) and has been a practicing orthopedic surgeon for over 35 years. He works for the Mayo Clinic specializing in adult reconstruction.
