Gary wrote A Ham's Night Before Christmas back in 1996, and performed it live at several radio club meetings that December, and over the next few years. Then it found new life on the web as text, audio, and finally video. In this episode, Gary recreates the live performance, blended with the classic QST December covers and ads from the original video.
And here's a link to some background and the TEXT.
Here's a version with just Gary's voice - no music. You can play this over the air, on repeaters, etc.:
One more thing… Gary has produced four slightly different video versions of A Ham’s Night Before Christmas. The ‘original’ in 4x3 ‘Standard Definition’, an ‘ARRL’ version of that (replacing the ‘Wayne Green’ line), the High-Def ‘Special Edition’, and finally this ‘live’ version. He’s collected them all in this YouTube Playlist… for those who can’t get enough.
