Cliff's Notes on Amateur Radio | HAM - GMRS - And More!

013 - Did I Get Bored With Amateur Radio After Four Months?


Listen Later

In this episode, I share the reason I've been "radio silent" since December as it relates to this podcast.

I launched this podcast on August 24th, publishing 12 podcast episodes within 17 weeks, but then stopped publishing until now, almost 7 months later. I've received many emails from folks asking about the absence of new episodes. So I decided to record this episode to explain the hiatus since December and to share a comprehensive list of my amateur radio adventures over the past seven months.

In this episode, I cover:

  • How and why Amateur Radio served as a wonderful "escape" during the final quarter of 2024.
  • Why I needed to refocus on the marketing side of my business.
  • My first Dayton Hamvention experience.
  • My first Field Day experience.
  • My recent high SWR issues with my ATAS antenna.
  • Why I've temporarily stopped participating in weekly net meetings.
  • Why I'm rarely on local repeaters these days.
  • How I maintain connections with NKARC (Northern Kentucky Amateur Radio Club) members.
  • Why I am no longer operating HF from home.
  • How I may have purchased more radio gear than necessary last year.
  • And much more!
  • If you want to hear from me more frequently and don't want to wait until the next episode of this podcast, check out my main podcast called The Cliff Ravenscraft Show in your favorite podcast directory.
