PARP 3 – How to get your amateur radio license

Podcast Number 55 – Podcast ver. 55.5 – May 16, 2012 (52.8 MB, runtime 46:00)  Transcript Happy 4th Birthday to PARP!  The Practical Amateur Radio Podcast hit the interwebz on 7 May 2008.  I’m truly honored to have the opportunity to use new media (podcasting, blogging and video) to promote our wonderful hobby.  To celebrate and also better showcase all I needed to discuss for episode 55, I’ve also created a YouTube video and a blog post.       NOTE:  The 2m Calling Freq. is 146.52 and not 147.52 as I mentioned in PARP55.  Sorry In this episode, I discuss radio programming made easy.  It would truly be difficult for me to explain step-by-step how to program your radio.  However, in episode 55 I provide some helpful tips and tools to help you not only better understand the process of programming your radio, but also share with you some tools and resources to accomplish the task quicker.  I also share with you how to locate nearby repeaters. I would also like to thank the kind folks with Nifty Ham Accessories, RT Systems Inc., and RFinder – The Worldwide Repeater Directory for offering coupon codes.  You may use these coupon codes for savings towards purchases made from their websites.  Please listen to this episode to hear the individual code for each of the vendors as well as details regarding expiration. Our Featured Website for this episode is the blog site of Connie Bird, NR4CB.  Connie is about to embark on a 5000 mile adventure across the eastern portion of the United States and Canada.  I also briefly mentioned a couple of YouTube videos I made documenting how I have connected my iPad to my Elecraft KX3 to operate PSK-31 via the PSKer iOS App.  Please watch video one and video two.      All this and just a little bit more.  Thank you for listening.     Links of interest discussed in episode 55.

PARP 6 – What you need to know before your first radio purchase

Podcast Number 13 – Podcast ver. 13.1 – December 15 2008 (29.6 MB, runtime 25:55) As we wrap up 2008, we discuss the QSL process.  I provide a brief history on the first known instances of using a QSL card to confirm a contact.  I cover from start to finish how one would send a paper QSL card and briefly touch on the electronic QSL process by introducing both www.eqsl.cc and www.arrl.org/lotw.  I introduce you to Randy Dorman, KB3IFH and his QSL card printing service.  Randy assisted me in the design of my new QSL card.  If you’re in the market for new cards or need to design your first card, please contact Randy.  Randy’s website is www.kb3ifh.homestead.com.  It’s been a while since I featured an amateur’s website and I can’t think of no one better to share with you than Santa’s….huh, I mean Mickey Hicks wo6t.  Mickey operates special event station w6s this time of year.  I would encourage you to visit Santa’s website to research his on-air schedule and perhaps you can allow your child or grandchild the opportunity to talk to Santa on ham radio.  Finally, I’m branching out my podcasting hobby and have produced another two podcasts which are scheduled to be released on a monthly basis.  They are The Practical Computer Podcast and The Practical Technology Podcast.  You can download these through iTunes or from their internet home by visiting www.practicalpodcaster.com.  Just follow the links on the left side.  As always, thank you for listening and thank you for telling your friends.
