HRN 448: Larry's Live
/Our guest is Larry Devoe K7HN. Larry hosts the Ham Radio Live show on YouTube, and produces a live show almost every day.
HRN 447: QBC*?
/*Don’t look it up… you won’t find it. Host Gary K4AAQ and his friend Jeff AC4ZO (SK) made it up during some previous HamRadioNow show. QBC? means (according to them) “Are we in the middle of a Boring Conversation”?. And QBC (no question mark) means “We are in the middle of a boring conversation. Terminate immediately”.
BUT… that’s not what we talked about this week. We got a last minute guest: Kay Savetz K6KJN is the Program Manager, Special Collections at the Internet Archive, home of the Wayback Machine that has been collecting old websites since about the dawn of time.
Kay is charged with collecting pretty much any media about Amateur Radio that he can get people to send. With a loose definition of ‘media’. For example, if you have an old log book from your Novice days (like Gary does), Kay wants it. Plus podcasts, YouTube videos. Funded by a grant from ARDC.
If you have something to contribute, drop Kay a line at: kay@archive.org

Kay says this is just the early presentation of the vast material he’s been curating.
HRN 446: Show What? (The UHF Simplex Epsidode)
/With nowhere particularly to go, we (David W0DHG, Jim NO1PC and Gary K4AAQ) spent most of the show talking about an article in Field & Stream about the ‘Best Ham Radio’. Yes, Field & Stream.
The Promo video is Gary K4AAQ trying to scare some activity up on the HRN Discord while recruiting a live audience for the Sunday night show. This is for die-hard fans only.
