Welcome to the Jarvis 2024 DXpedition | N5J

Glenn Johnson, W0GJ

Glenn's interest in amateur radio started as a youngster listening to his grandfather's short-wave radio. He was licensed at age 15 and within three months had contacted all 50 states with a homemade crystal transmitter. He has always been interested in contesting and working DX. He has several first-place world scores and has achieved #1 Honor Roll, 5BDXCC and 5BWAZ awards.

He has NINE (maybe ten by the time you read this) First Place World scores with QRP in the ARRL 160M Contest. He has led or co-led four major DXpeditions to four Top Ten Most Wanted areas (Kingdom of Bhutan (2000), Lakshadweep (2007)), Desecheo (2009), and Navassa (2015)) all of which were awarded DXpedition of the Year. He was also a team member of the HK0NA Malpelo (2012), the K5P Palmyra (2016), and the VP6R Pitcairn (2019) DXpeditions. Glenn has been inducted into the CQ Magazine Amateur Radio Hall of Fame and the DX Hall of Fame.
Glenn retired from the Mayo Clinic after practicing orthopedic surgery for 45 years.
