Gary, now K4AAQ, is coming back to join David W0DHG on HamRadioNow. He’s moved to the Charlotte suburbs in South Carolina, and he’s putting the band… er, podcast studio back together. Here’s a quick look.
Also, Gary stopped by the Charlotte Hamfest in March and shot some video.
Building the N6ARA Tiny Paddle Jack Version. This is a backup CW Paddle for Morse Code. This paddle is so small and light you can have it with you on all your portable ham radio adventures. If your main key fails you, grab this out of your bag and you’re back on the air!

I tried a couple of new things on this Parks on the Air activation of Boyce Thompson Arboretum near Superior Arizona. The drive over antenna mast mount built for me by Tony K7AJF worked out great. I also tried logging with my cell phone using HAMRS. Follow along as I set up the station and start logging the QSOs on 20 meters SSB and CW.
