DX University – Visalia 2012
Bernie McClenny was first licensed as WB3JRU in September 1977 and
quickly became interested in working DX. In 1991 he changed his callsign
to WR3E and became a member of the ARRL DXCC Honor Roll at the
age of 27. On November 4, 1996 WR3E was exchanged under the Vanity
Call program for W3UR.
In March 1997, Bernie started the first daily e-mail DX Bulletin called The
Daily DX. In the summer of the following year he was asked and accepted
the editorship of QST's "How's DX?" column. In March 2001, he
purchased The 599 DX Report and renamed it The Weekly DX.
Bernie has operated from two all-time new DXCC countries - E44DX in
Gaza, Palestine and 4W/W3UR in Baucau, East Timor. Other DXpeditions
include A61AJ, AH3D, OHØ/W3UR, VU4AN and YU8/OH2R (Kosovo).
He has also been a guest op multiple times at 4U1UN and recently
operated as 8P9UR from Barbados. When not writing or on DXpeditions,
Bernie can often be found on the air chasing new ones for the DXCC
Challenge.
