HRN 440: We test the 'Explorer QRZ-1' Handheld Radio
/QRZ.com and GigaParts are giving away this dual-band handheld to new hams until Halloween 2022. Is it ‘free and worth it’, or is it a decent radio? We check it out. (hint: it’s a decent radio)
HRN 439: It's Not CW (it's Morse Code) (a CLICKBAIT title)
/This week’s lineup: Kyle AA0Z, David W0DHG, Gary K4AAQ. So yeah, we let Gary do his CLICKBAIT rant, where he also thinks it should be Morse’s code - that’s with an apostrophe s. We expect all hams to start using that.
Kyle gave a Huntsville Hamfest wrapup, we talked about the new ICOM IC-905 VHF to 10 GHz radio and that was more or less it (less, because we spent a long time talking about nothing in particular after that.
TEST TEST TEST (not a show)
/Another ‘not an episode’?
Well, we have a good reason for this one (but don’t we always?)
This time, East Coast Host Gary K4AAQ just got the new-to-us Wirecast computer up and running, and it was time to wring it out. Good news: it worked. Bad news: the Wirecast program doesn’t seem to use the second CPU. So it’s not helping as much as we expected. We’re looking into it.
Meanwhile, in this ‘not an episode’, West Coast Host David W0DHG is in New York City, where his daughter is competing in a Crossword Puzzle competition. David is a declared ‘non-combatant’, though he has a clear favorite in the event.
