[Coco] OT: New ham radio show.

[Steve Bjork]

I know this is a bit off topic, but I have seen a few ham call signs 
posted on the list.

Leo Laporte over at his TWiT podcasting studio has launched a new show 
about ham radio called HAM Nation...

“Bob Heil, with various co-hosts and guests will cover the excitement 
and importance of ham radio - from tossing an antenna wire in a tree 
allowing you to talk to the world, to the importance of ham radio 
operators in time of disasters. HAM Nation airs live each Tuesday at 
6:00 PT/ 9:00ET on http://live.twit.tv.“

The first episode was “The History Of Ham Radio” or Ham Radio 101.

Bob Heil (inventor of the PR-40 Mic.) host this first show with help 
from Joe Walsh - WB6ACU (of the musical group The Eagles) and Dave 
Jennings - WJ6WDAVE. You got to see Dave’s Ham gear!

Like most first shows, it’s still in beta and they need your ideas to 
help flush out the show. To download the audio or video of the first 
show, please visit www.twit.tv/hn.

There is also an interview with Bob Heil and his impact on live and 
recorded music. It can be found at www.twit.tv/tri8. It 52 minutes of 
great stories about live rock and more.

Thanks!

Steve
