Raising the Bar: Dr. Scott Wright K0MD

Dr. Scott Wright is a cardiologist with the Mayo Clinic and a member of the team that developed the use of convalescent plasma as one of the first treatments for Covid-19. That significant contribution to world health during the great pandemic, combined with his history as a DXer, serious contester, and stint as the editor of the National Contest Journal, earned Scott an induction to the CQ Hall of Fame. In this interview, we discuss Scott's first license at the age of 12, the Heathkit HW-101 that he started with, his newfound love for the Elecraft line of ham radio gear, DXpeditions to Chile and Turks and Caicos, the thrill and intensity of contesting and much more. When it comes to representing the ham radio hobby professionally and with enthusiasm, Scott has set a very high bar.
