This week Jeremy spends time with some of our listeners to talk about what’s on THEIR workbenches. We spend time with Mike KM4VKR to discuss his upgrades to the Antenna Analyzer, Vance N3VEM to talk about building his own digital mode interface for his iPhone, and Smitty KR6ZY to learn about his multi-band WSPR experiences. More interviews were recorded and will be available in a future episode.
