If I Could Hear What You See - Part 2

Listen Later
  • For the next several RAIN Hamcast podcasts we’re conducting an experiment that may affect you whether you’re narrow-casting this audio service on simplex or a network that requires frequent pauses to reset shorter timers. Your preference will determine whether we continue with just the “customary” 10-second ID break before the ten-minute mark; or the six-second “timer reset” pause every three minutes. You’ll need to choose one of two RAIN podcast options: either (1) the ‘customary’ ID break every ten minutes; or (2) both the 10-second ID break every ten minutes together with a six-second pause every three minutes for network timer reset. We’ll check the stats after three weeks. You'll hear both options in this RAIN Hamcast. 

    • This is the RAIN hamcast #61, posted 02-19-22. Running Time: 18M40S with a break after 08M49S. Voiced by Will Rogers/K5WLR.

    This episode starts with the voice of RAIN's Founder & Producer, Hap Holly/KC9RP, expressing his regret cajoling YouTube content creator Tom Shimizu/N9JDI into adding video to the RAIN Hamcast podcasts. In the fall of 2021 Hap sought the expansion of the RAIN Hamcast listenership by adding a static video element to the RAIN Report channel on YouTube.  To Hap, combining audio with video seemed a pretty good option until he had a heart-to-heart talk with Tom in January, 2022 during which Hap learned about the challenges Tom faces adding video to Hap's RAIN Hamcasts on YouTube. This is our second excerpt from their Zoom conversation.

    As a result of Hap and Tom's discussion, listeners to the RAIN Report channel on YouTube can expect to see simpler use of static video in the future. Thanks to Tom for his candor and continuing assistance with the RAIN Report channel on YouTube.
