On this Halloween-week edition of the W3GMS 146.985 Roundtable, the crew dives into a surprisingly passionate discussion about everyone’s favorite childhood candy — and how our tastes have (or haven’t) changed over the years. From Reese’s supremacy to Scandinavian salted licorice, the takes get bold.

Along the way, operators share updates from the shack and beyond:

• BIOS battles and Linux wizardry

• New antennas in attics

• DX catches, POTA/SOTA activations, and 7-watt 1929 transmitters

• Plans to open the Field Day site for regular HF ops

• Winter Field Day prep, N1MM testing, and repeater housekeeping

• Plus: dogs blocking shacks, bricked PCs resurrected, and a 3D printer buzzing in the background

A fun, relaxed, candy-fueled net with great stories, technical discoveries, and lots of laughter. Perfect listening for anyone who loves ham radio, Halloween, or hearing grown adults debate licorice like it’s a contact sport.
