Ham Radio Now
Summary: Ham Radio Now podcasts are the audio from our television programs (on YouTube.com/HamRadioNow). The shows are all about the hobby/service of Amateur Radio, but there are several types of shows all mixed up among the episodes. Some are talk shows, some are seminars and forums, and there's a mini-documentary now and then. The talk shows make the best audio listening, but you'll get something from almost all of them. We'll rate the "radio" quality in the show descriptions.

The episode was named for a Reddit sub, and features a bunch of hams who took the plunge into podcasting (or YouTube).
Full title: How to Fill a Terabyte Disk: Using SDR in the HamSCI Solar Eclipse Experiment Count on John Ackermann N8UR to put a TAPR spin on the HamSCI experiment. John combined his ultra-accurate time/frequency skills with the TAPR/HPSDR radios to generate a lot of information from the Eclipse QSO Party and WWV observations. All from a little island in Lake Michigan.
You probably heard about the Eclipse QSO Party that generated lots of activity during the Great American Eclipse of 2017. It also generated lots of science, currently being digested by the team at HamSCI. They presented preliminary results and talked methodology at the 2017 DCC, led by Nate Frissell W2NAF. (And they're all so young!). Radio Rating: B-. There are lots of charts and graphs, and you'll miss some details, but the guys explain it pretty well, and the story is compelling.
More details on the Geosynchronous satellite that Bob McGweir N4YH introduced in HRN 272 at last year's DCC.
Skip the intro - FF to 5:14 (but think about clicking the Pig). Actually TNC-Pi 9.6k - Mark Griffith KD0QYN has upgraded the TNC Pi to 9600 bps... if you're signal is strong enough. Lots of details in this talk that puts the P back in TAPR. Radio Rating: C. Keep in mind that this is not rating the quality of the program, just how much you lose (or keep) without the video. So lots of charts and graphs, but pretty well explained.
Ham Radio takes a beating on a recent episode of the CBS crime drama NCIS. Gary and David look into it.
This show has three parts; ARRL's response to our 'Force of Two' episode; a warning from ICOM's Ray Novak N9JA about some DMR features; a peek at an NCIS episode that has a major ham radio element. And yes, it's a click-bait headline.
This is an archive episode from the 2015 Hamvention® DX forum. If you were a DXer in the 1960's, you knew all about Don Miller W9WNV. Or you thought you did. Don wasn't the first DXpeditioner, but he expanded and refined the game. He helped demonstrate the need for clear rules and definitions, sometimes by breaking them. He spent time in prison (serious, disputed, but not ham related), and regained his ham license after his release in 2002. He's speaking here at the 2015 Dayton DX Forum.
Dave Larsen KV0S's complete title for this talk is Development and Design of Firmware Programming Tools for the openHPSDR Hardware. And that says a lot about where this talk is going.
