HRN 515: A Rare Unboxing

Gary unboxes…. something

HRN 514: To the Moon, Alice (Bang, Zoom)

There is… was… a ham station on the moon last week. Did you work’em? (I don’t think so)

We’ve had some big lip-sync issues with the last few shows. It’s hard to analyze what’s happening when we’re live in a show, so it’s troubleshooting time.

Gary K4AAQ just got back from a week skiing with Cyndi KD4ACW. David W0DHG needs a short show today (ha?). So we’ll do what we can with what we’ve got. OH, and Gary got stopped by TSA with his suitcase full of gear. How’d that go?

HRN 512: Field(day) of Frost

HRN 512: Field(day) of Frost
Frosty the Field Day? QFF? (Are you sending with frostbitten fingers?). Does snow make a good ground plane? Or do you live in the South are are tired of Field Day meaning 95° and 95% humidity on the fourth rainy weekend in June?

Winter Field Day is a thing, and it’s coming January 27/28, 2024. We’ll talk with the guys who invented it (it’s not the ARRL).

HRN 511: Leave the Plot Behind

First, we take a look at a TODAY show segment on a high school radio club’s ARISS contact, outstanding because the whole thing was student-led, and also because they got Network TV coverage.

Then – SPOILER ALERT!! – a review of the Netflix movie "Leave the World Behind", which caught ham’s attention for a brief scene right at the end that featured a well-equipped ham station. Yes, we will SPOIL THE PLOT because it deseres to be spoiled, and you don’t need to waste time on this movie.
