Are you ready to embark on a ham radio adventure with us? I'm your host Eric, with Todd and our special guests Paul and Matt, diving headfirst into the world of amateur radio. We kick off the conversation with Todd teasing upcoming park activations in Louisiana and Mississippi, and Paul sharing his latest forays into tinkering with ham radio equipment. With Christmas on the horizon and our subscriber count soaring over 100, we're feeling the festive spirit and planning giveaways to make the holiday season even more special. We've also been on the hunt for the perfect gifts for the ham radio enthusiasts in our lives, adding a sprinkling of tech magic to our holiday shopping.

Our recent Black Friday haul gave us a treasure trove of incredible deals on ham radio equipment, and we can't wait to share our gems with you. Todd snagged a new Mic arm and webcam, while Paul made some savvy purchases from the Chameleon website, including high vis winders and a 17-foot whip. We've been having a blast exploring the Flex Control knob’s functionality for Flex radios, and we're all in agreement about the outstanding quality of Chameleon products. You won't want to miss our tips and tricks on utilizing these tools, from portable antennas with frequency selectors to the soda beams carbon six mast.

We've also been exploring the world of ham radio gear and preparing for the gift-giving season. From compact 20-watt radios with Bluetooth capabilities to outdoor cooking equipment, we've got our wish lists ready.  Join us as we navigate the exciting world of ham radio, discuss our personal hobby goals, and share our enthusiasm for this incredible community. Listen in, and let's keep the radio waves alive together!
