Thank You Very Much for listening to the Ham Radio 360 Podcast.

In this real quick, last episode, I take the opportunity to ‘say’ good-bye.

I appreciate the opportunity to have served you and the Amateur Radio Community over these last few years.

Friends,

In 2011 I achieved a nearly lifelong goal; I became an Amateur Radio Operator.

In 2014 I began, as a means to scratch an itch, an Amateur Radio Podcast.

The podcast, then named ‘Fo Time’ was never supposed to succeed. I had no intention of releasing any more than 5 to 10 programs. Almost 4 years later, 90+ shows, and over a 3/4 million downloads, I’m still wondering how I got here.

Through that time, I was a small part of promoting the Amateur Radio Hobby via the medium of podcasting. What began as an experiment soon became a platform for a New Ham Operator to learn the ropes. Along the journey I was blessed with the opportunity to connect with and learn from some of the most brilliant and entertaining people on the planet.

I have been continually astounded by my listening audience and their contribution to the efforts of what became the Ham Radio 360 Podcast and brand. Not only was I afforded the opportunity to learn from the best, I was able to share in those experiences with many others as the brand’s influence grew. Additionally the platform allowed other programs to be birthed for the good of the hobby that will continue to educate and entertain the masses.

However, I began to realize just how much of me it took to produce quality content and maintain the brand. In October of 2017 I took a break from my regular show production with a promise to return in 2018. I upheld that promise but soon realized that the continued pressure to perform and create was more than I was willing to maintain anymore.

With that understanding I have decided to discontinue, in it’s entirety, the Ham Radio 360 Podcast. I plan to maintain the HamRadio360.com Website and Podcast Feed of past shows and content as a contribution to the Amateur Radio Hobby.

I sincerely appreciate the opportunity to have served you and the wonderful Amateur Radio Hobby.

Gratefully yours,

The Salmi Brothers are back (don’t miss their initial interview) to teach us about their Educational Development Radio Company-Faraday RF and some of their Outer-Space Creations!

In this Nuts and Volts episode we get into the minds of Brent (KB1LQD) and Bryce (KB1LQC) as they break down the ins and outs of their Ham Radio venture.  More than just building a SDR; Faraday RF looks to expand the hobby for tomorrows operators.

Join us as we pull back the veil and get a glimpse of the future…”Challenging the notion of making a contact”

As you might imagine Twin Brothers Bryce and Brent have a great deal in common.  Both are Millennial Ham Radio Ops, Developers and Rocket Scientists just to name a few shared interest!

The Brothers Salmi drop in for a conversation about their vision for the future of the Ham Radio hobby.  Raised as inventors and tinkerers these guys are poised to take that to an entirely different level with their educational development company, Faraday RF.  But before we get into the ‘what’ we get into the ‘why’ as we look back to a childhood filled with promise, learning and dreaming to a present full of building, making, and doing!

If you’re searching for proof that your beloved hobby will outlast your days-give this show a listen to be challenged and encouraged for tomorrow!

Happy Thanksgiving!

George, Jeremy and John pulled me up to the barn just in time to get a shopping show together for your Holiday Listening pleasure!  Actually, we’d planned this all along-knowing that so many of you enjoy the insight and conversation between friends.

This is our 4th Shopping Show and it’s always the highlight of our yearly podcasting adventures. While we have a load of fun doing these shows;  it’s our hope we can help you make informed choices regarding big and small purchases this Christmas Shopping Season!

Handi-talkies, Mobiles, Portables and Packables all get time in this episode along with some insight on budget and starter gear.  There’s room for everyone, even if you’re still stuffed full of turkey!

So, take us along as you brave the crowds for overnight shopping!  Plug us in one ear while you’re forced to sit through another lame 3-hour Commercial..I mean Thanksgiving Parade.  Share us with the in-laws, you know they love hearing about your ‘weird’ radio hobby!  Whatever-just don’t miss out on this episode!

We’re all Thankful for the time you spend with us and truly hope you and your family enjoy the brightest of Seasons!
