Radio was the lifeline of many in the early- to mid-1900's. In this short episode we hear some examples of radio and possibly feel the impact of what it was like to be glued to a speaker during huge world events.

Johnny is a down-to-earth radio operator and creator of the YouTube channel Signal Search, one of my favorites. I knew him from his various gear reviews in the past, but more recently he's taken us on his journey toward building a completely new ham shack and erecting an antenna tower. He talks with us about experiences in the military, why he left YouTube for a while, his return, and what's in coming up in the future.

Jeff, callsign AA6XA is an EE hailing from the SF Bay Area. He likes getting out there with a radio and writing about it. As one of the more active Summits on the Air hams in the area, if you look up peaks in the California area or Sierras, you'll probably find a trip report written by him. Jeff has traveled worldwide, and attributes his 400+ peak activations to "being young and single". With that, we hear about his weekly adventures from gear to documentation.

Julian OH8STN is an expat who is very familiar with outdoor operation, and is well known for his deeply researched and well documented offgrid battery and solar builds with an emphasis on emergency communications. Julian's YouTube videos were some of the early ones I discovered that helped me on a journey toward building my own ham radio power solutions.

Mike was one of the first YouTubers I found online doing videos about ham radio. He's got a sweet radio voice, and can run a pileup like nobody's business. Since he's started, he's been finding creative ways to pay it forward in ham radio, but most of all we enjoy his fun-loving outdoor POTA activations.
