Last January, a repeater group in Harrisburg PA had some special guests at their monthly club lunch – a half dozen representatives from the FCC, and a couple of ARRL officials stopped by to talk about ham radio and GMRS, and answer questions from the assembled club members. Just your average club luncheon.

Fortunately, the whole thing was recorded and ended up on YouTube. However, it was nearly two hours long, and some of it was kind of rambling (we’re looking at you, K4AAQ). So, we cut it down to just the essense, about 30 minutes worth. We still recommend watching the whole thing – there are some stories and anecdotes that we cut out that are pretty entertaining. Maybe this edited version will whet your appitite for more.

Here’s the original:

We’ve sent a note to the NFL (that’s Northern Florida, not 🏈) to see if they can join us for a show. No response yet. I’m sure they’re busy!

HRN 531: Quansheng My Thirst for Another HT (Unboxing and Review)

East Coast Host Gary K4AAQ goes solo for this show, noting that he needs another HT like he needs another hole in his head. But, Prime Day and pressure from peers got him to part with a bit under $25.

Note that this review does NOT get into any of the aftermarket firmware options, and that seems to be what is getting everybody excited. That is a hot mess of options and confusion, and so maybe someday.

The ARRL had a big interview on the Weather Channel after Hurricane Beryl hit Texas last week. We’ll review it. That’s what we (sometimes) do.

We’re gonna do something at 6 Eastern. Guess we better figure it out soon.
