HRN EXTRA - Field Day 2022 Live (Parts One and Two)

/

Don’t get excited. We didn’t get out there with the full production crew and document Field Day like we might have in the past. This was just Gary K4AAQ in the East Coast Studio, hoping David might pop up on Zoom. David didn’t, so Gary just surfed YouTube for Field Day Live Streams. In Part ONE on Saturday, he found the ARRL streaming from W1AW. In Part TWO on Sunday, he found Kyle AA0Z doing a live stream from his home in MO (we’re told using a remote station) that he called the Please Copy Marathon. Eradicating ‘Please copy’ is a cause near and dear Gary, so he tuned in and began restreaming Kyle with his own commentary. Eventually, Kyle discovered the restream and the Matrix began to break.

No Audio podcast for this one.

HRN 432: Sean & Nancy & Jim's Excellent Adventures

/

Sean Kutzko KX9X and Nancy Livingston N9NCY are about to embark on a vacation from their home in central Illinois to Glacier National Park in Montana. The point of the trip is hiking and camping, but because Sean is Sean (and Nancy seems enthusiastic about it), there will be hamming. Mostly on Satellites from ‘rare’ grid squares, and some six meters. And they came by to talk about the trip.

The show begins 5:35 into the stream (or with the countdown timer showing 7:05)

If that seems ambitious, our own Jim Aspenwall NO1PC will hit the road starting Field Day weekend for a month-long, coast-to-coast vacation. That’s a family-visit oriented thing, but it will also include lots of hamming and Parks On The Air. Follow Jim’s progress on APRS.

We give a few random Field Day tips (and point you to Ria N1RJ’s show for ‘Your comprehensive guide’.

And finally, Gary relates how he techno-shamed local hams because he’s a 😈 bad ham 😈

"COMMENTS TEST" (Parts One and Two)

YouTube and Facebook have ‘comments’, and all the other ham radio shows have integrated them into the flow of the programs (or ‘disruption’ of the flow, as the case may be).

There’s power in the audience.

We’re late to the party. but today, Gary got the Wirecast technology working, and fired up the streams to test it. He thought maybe one or two people would come out of the woodwork (with ‘Notification’ of a live stream turned on). He was surprised.

There are two parts to the show - that was never supposed to be a show - because halfway through the ‘stream’ icon was RED instead of GREEN, and he clicked on it… and the streams stopped. So he quickly started things up again.

We had a great time with the audience. Thanks, you guys!
