Promo: Listen to the Linux Basement Podcast.

Happy Birthday, Richard!

Yes, folks, it’s episode 100 of Linux in the Ham Shack. We’re now eligible for syndication! 🙂

Topics:

In celebration of our 100th episode, several of our listeners in the chat room call in and participate in a roundtable discussion. Participants include Harrison (VE2HKW), Brian (K5BPC), and Jon (KT4KB). Unfortunately, noise on Jon’s connection prevented him from staying on the line.

We received voice messages from listeners Michelle, Joy, Rich (KD0RG), Doug (N6LMX), Nick, Jon, “Major J”, and Harrison (VE2HKW).

Feedback from Matt (KD8SZG), who asks which would be a better choice for a new HF user: a used IC-7000 or new FT-857D. The consensus is to choose the new FT-857D.

Jon, KT4KB, asks how Russ and Richard met.

Richard makes a shocking announcement!

We have a short discussion of FreeDV vs. D-STAR, followed by a brief discussion of various Linux distributions.

Richard makes a few final comments.
