HRN 435: No Show COVID Show (Oh No!)

/

Gary developed COVID just after returning from his Canadian vacation with Cyndi KD4ACW. Cyndi got it first, and is quarantining in Calgary. Gary slipped back to the States before developing symptoms and testing positive. He felt good enough to do a quick ‘no show’ show early Sunday, not knowing how he might feel by Sunday night’s regular time slot. David was available, and a drop-in from ‘East Coast Correspondent’ Marty NN1C rounded out the crew. Marty’s not to happy about being demoted from ‘host’ to ‘correspondent’🤨.

HRN 434: Programming Strategies

/

The Live Stream has shifted
to 7 PM Pacific, 10 PM Eastern Sunday,
0200Z (Monday, during US Daylight Saving Time)

So, I know it looks like we’re talking and doing the pre-show right from the beginning, but you don’t hear anything. Because Gary did it again and didn’t switch audio onto the stream. Until his friend KE4TTS called to tell him. At the 11:05 point. Zoom on in. Gary’s an idiot😤🤪

How do you program your VHF/UHF radios? Totally by hand? Using software? Either way, do you have a plan? A strategy? Or do you just chunk channels in there willy-nilly?

We do ‘promos’ different. This one’s a 20 minute mini-show… longer than some shows do shows. And oops, Gary forgot to turn on audio for the first minute.

In tonight’s show, hosts Gary K4AAQ, David W0DHG and Midwest Correspondent Kyle AA0Z reveal their elaborate plans for programming their radios, and the software they use.

So there’s that, but so much more. Starting with the Hammy awards. And Gary and David did a 20 minute promo for this episode on Friday, so check that out, too.

And finally, thanks to Jason Johnston KC4HWB from Ham Radio 2.0 for giving us the lead-in at the end of his show.
