HRN 253: DAYTONa 500 (On the Road)

/

This time Gary set up the tripod and camera before he loaded up the car, so it got priority positioning to shoot the 500 mile road trip from home near Raleigh NC to the Dayton Hamvention. And he's using the headset mic... no more lavalier mic draped from the bill of a baseball cap. This leads off a slew of forums, interviews and specials coming as fast as Gary can edit them.

HRN 252: European Vacation (and no ham radio)

/

This episode began as Audio Only. Gary and wife Cyndi KD4ACW recorded it while traveling about 200 MPH EuroStar high speed train between Paris and London. Once home, Gary added pictures from the 15 hours of footage he shot with the camera glued to his hand.

Episode 251: 85 Watts and a Wire

/

Gary considers usurping the 100 Watts and a Wire show name because nobody on the show runs 100 watts and a wire anymore. But he tempers his hostile takeover because co-host Katie Allen WY7YL has taken a new job, and it look like she won't be able to participate in the show (but Katie, you didn't even say good-bye!). Gary's HF rig can't even muster 100 watts anymore, so he settles for 85.. and he's legit on the wire thing.

Next he reviews the new HamRadioNow.tv web site (with a real URL!), some news stories he won't be covering because of 1) Time; 2) Inefficiency; and 3) a vacation. He'll see you at Dayton (and probably squeeze in a show or three before that).

Finally, the Missouri House has passed it's version of the Amateur Radio Parity Act. It's in a Senate committee. Gary's got the audio of the House 'debate' that's kinda odd (but all's well that ends well?).
