Our hard work has come to fruition! We have published episode one of The Phasing Line Podcast. It was originally about an hour twenty, but cuts and removal of um's and uh's shaved it to just under 45 minutes.

Find it on iTunes, Stitcher, Pocketcasts, Overcast, and at http://phasinglinepodcast.com.

We attempt to talk about who we are, winning cookies in CQWW, packet spotting and pileups, contest operating and logging techniques, ARES and some of the bad things about ham radio, Youngsters on the Air, and cats.

We wanted to have a two-guys-and-a-mic style podcast about ham radio, without any script or topic – just winging it. It's focus is on whatever comes to mind, as well as the progression of the hobby…aka youth in amateur radio. We plan on doing interviews, giveaways, and all that jazz. If you're so inclined to donate, email Marty or I, and we'll be happy to talk about buying me a Flex 6700 or Marty a couple dozen IC-7300's since he's in to that single-operator, twenty-radios sort of contesting. But really, making these things isn't free!
