PLEASE JOIN US AT
LEDO’S COLLEGE PARK
THIS SUNDAY, FEB. 4, 2024!

Everyone is welcome to join us at our annual winter get-together. We will
be at Ledo’s at 4509 Knox Road in College Park on Sunday, February 4 from 2
to 4 p.m.

That is where you will find a good diverse group of people from the D.C.
area who are interested in monitoring radio communication. All are welcome!

Our guest speaker this year is Steven Herman, an international broadcast
journalist with a huge social media following and fellow amateur radio
operator, W7VOA. He’s led an incredible career in journalism. So bring your
questions!
Herman is the chief national correspondent for the Voice of America. From
2017 to 2021, he was senior White House correspondent and subsequently
VOA’s White House bureau chief.

He spent more than a quarter of a century in Asia, including years of
reporting from Tokyo and subsequently as a VOA correspondent and bureau
chief in India, South Korea and Thailand.

He also served in 2016 as VOA's senior diplomatic correspondent, based at
the State Department and traveling to numerous countries with
then-Secretary of State John Kerry.

During the Trump administration, Herman was the designated radio reporter
on dozens of Air Force One domestic and international trips, including the
45th president's final flight to Florida. He continued as VOA’s White House
bureau chief during the first eight months of the Biden administration.

Herman’s latest book, Behind the White House Curtain: A Senior Journalist’s
Story of Covering the President — and Why It Matters, will be published in
June by Kent State University Press.

He has been a ham radio operator since his youth and is a life member of
the Quarter Century Wireless Association (QCWA) and can be found on the
shortwave bands chasing ‘DX.’

Herman lives in Stafford County, south of Quantico.
