What happens when you mix ham radio with skydiving? Paul's recent leap from 10,500 feet might just answer that question, offering an exhilarating twist to our Support Your Parks Weekend recap. We also highlight the adventures of our Granite State Amateur Radio Club members, who turned a camping trip at Bear Brook Pavilion into a lively ham radio event. Join us as we share tales of over 200 successful contacts, family banter, and the unexpected joy of receiving mean comments on our videos.

Get ready to be inspired by the passion and innovation within our amateur radio community. From John KB1ICL's impactful initiative to Tim KC1QDK's impressive park activation using a Yeasu DX-10, the stories of perseverance and connection are endless. We revel in the spirit of camaraderie among listeners and invite you to share in the victories and challenges of our vibrant hobby. Whether it's tackling trivia about radio technology or recounting a serendipitous reunion with a fellow enthusiast, the airwaves are buzzing with excitement.

Looking to the future, plans are in motion for a skydiving fundraiser that promises to combine the thrills of freefall with the joys of amateur radio. Picture a day filled with barbecues, jumps, and the chance to support Paul’s daring endeavors. With new merchandise on the horizon and exciting meetups in the works, there's never been a better time to be part of our community. Tune in for a blend of humor, adventure, and heartfelt appreciation for the listeners who make this journey unforgettable.
