A Practical Amateur Radio Podcast update!

Jerry , KD0BIK of the Practical Amateur Radio Podcast has released a new mini-episode detailing his future plans for the podcast. I am very happy to see this and look forward to what ever he produces. His podcast has been very helpful and makes for a good resource for anyone starting out in the hobby. Jerry is a good guy and I was especially touched by Jerry's effort to help everyone at HOSARC Save Our station back in 2008. While we lost our station in the end. It was very nice of him to drop everything and put out a emergency podcast at a moments notice. We need more guys like Jerry in our shared hobby. I for one would like to live up to his example. Good luck Jerry. I will be listening.

ARRL Website redesign.

I was just listening to Jerry Taylor's Practical Amateur Radio Podcast Volume 2 Episode 32 with an interview with Katie Allen, K1KRB. Jerry's interview covers the upcoming redesign of the ARRL website. Jerry also mentions the QST article on the same subject in the Dec. 2009 edition page 55. I have to admit, I am looking forward to the upgrade as it should make finding out information about our hobby much easier. It is good to see such helpful resources get updated. I think it will help to grow our hobby. It is through the web that I have found information on our hobby and I am sure I am not alone. My hope is that this update will help bring more people into our ranks as the years progress. The new website should be launched in late January 2010.
Happy Holidays to everyone and I will see you in 2010.
