Zombie Shuffle 2024
The QRP zombies were out and about on the bands last night (October 25th). I got on the air for some of the annual Zombie Shuffle. This year was a little different experience for me from past years, but it was still fun.
Ham Radio Clubs: It's time to move away from the PDF Newsletter
It’s time for ham radio clubs to move away from the PDF based newsletter as a primary publishing format.
The purpose of this post is to help amateur radio clubs and organizations get their content in front of more hams. The PDF format is problematic because it acts as a walled garden, limiting the ways in which the content inside can be discovered by search engines, social media, and ultimately the hams looking for good information.
What Helene and Milton Can Teach Us
Wishing the best to everyone.
Fortunately, the worst of hurricanes Helene and Milton are in the past. The effected communities have had time to evaluate the damage and hopefully found reasons to be grateful. For the rest of us, we can assist as needed, pray for their recovery, and do some self reflection on what we can learn from others’ experiences.
