PROMOre HRN 500!! From 300 to 2.8 In (only) 38 Years (Clickbait?) PROMOre

We’re back at 7Pac/10East for One Night Only (scheduling). And yes, it’s the Big Whoop Episode 500, but Episodes are just a number.

Another number is 2.8, as in 2.8 kHz. The FCC has a draft Report and Order that the Commission will vote on at their November 15 meeting. If they pass it (they will), the old ‘300 baud’ data rate limit will be dust on HF, and a 2.8 kHz bandwidth limit will take its place. But there are details (we love details).

HRN 499: K1N Navassa: The Movie (coming to YouTube)
Another EARLY SHOW – 6:30pm Eastern

Back in 2015, Bob Allphin K4UEE led an intrepid band of DXedrs on a mission to activate the Most Needed DX entity (second only to North Korea) – Navassa Island. As usual, Bob documented the trip on video. But the guy who had edited most of Bob’s previous documentaries had retired, so he hired HamRadioNow’s Gary K4AAQ to cut the show together. Gary also provided the voiceover narration, interspersed with Bob’s on-camera narration.

The DVD sold pretty well. Lots of hams have seen it at club meetings. But lots of hams haven’t. And DVD sales have slowed to a trickle… well, it’s been 8 years. So Bob and Gary talked about it, and decided to put the documentary on YouTube — free to watch. We’ll turn on access to the documentary during this show.

Bob joins us on this episode to talk about the show, memories of the DXpedition, and a special ‘inventory clearance’ offer of the DVDs of the three DXpeditions still on his shelves.

HRN 495: ConFuzin’ After All These Years – FT5 Review

Gary K4AAQ reviews the Yaesu FT5D Handheld. And so what’s ‘ConFuzin’? It is NOT the radio, and it’s not System Fusion (which is arguably the simplest of the Big Three VHF/UHF DV Modes (D-STAR, DMR, Fusion). What’s ConFuzin’ many hams is the CHOICE.
