What happens when you gather a group of ham radio enthusiasts, toss in a handful of POTA (Parks on the Air) activations, and add a dash of Morse code exploration for good measure? Welcome to a lively episode with our guest stars, Todd W1STJ, Tim KC1QDK, Paul KF4TPY, and Rob from the YouTube channel 741, each bringing their unique experiences and perspectives. Despite a few technical glitches - we apologize for that, we all had great fun!

Let's take a trip down memory lane by looking back at our contact logs and reminiscing about the great (and not-so-great) Ham Radio contacts we've made. Even though Ryan was away, we still fondly remembered how we all met, and agreed that it was our best HF contact yet!

Let's delve into the details of Todd's Go box. He has swapped out his DX10 in his home shack with his Flex, and now he wants to explore the possibilities of creating a Go Box. Ryan has built a few in the past, so we sit down and brainstorm ideas for a new home for Todd's DX10.

Lucas, the talented designer and creator of the Radio Craft Mod, will join us live to share all about the mod and how you can enjoy playing Ham Radio within your beloved game.

This episode, Ryan will be hosting and he plans on discussing Flex ownership with Todd and Eric. They will share their personal experiences using the device and go into detail about its capabilities. However, it seems like it might turn into an intervention because true friends don't let their friends own JUST Icom radios alone....

As we promised in our previous show, we will be discussing some helpful tips and tricks for getting your gear through TSA at the airport. We'll also be sharing some funny experiences we've had along the way.

Live from the Northeast HamXposition in Marlboro, Massachusetts!

We are thrilled to have Andy Stewart, the maintainer of the Andy's Ham Radio Linux distribution, joining us today.

Have you heard about Project Big E? It includes Funnel cakes, fried Oreos, and even Ham Radio! We're thrilled to welcome a special guest who will talk about the importance of Ham Radio at the Big E Fair and how it relates to Project Big E.

After participating in field day, we delved into the topic of Portable POTA hardware. Our discussion encompassed our experiences with radio setups, packs, and antennas - particularly the various antennas available. We cover how we deal with the TSA, how long arrangements are to stand up and tear down, and our radio configurations.

In our ongoing "I'm a technician, now what?" series, we will be delving into the topic of digital modes. This will include an explanation of what they are, how they can be used, and our personal experiences with them. Additionally, we will address a common question among Ham Radio enthusiasts: Are digital modes such as Echolink, Fusion, D-Start, and DMR considered to be legitimate forms of Ham Radio communication?

Who is your Elmer? Do you feel Elmer’s are important in the hobby today with the dawning of YouTube and the internet? Have you been an Elmer to someone else?

Have you just got your Technician Ticket or decided to return to the hobby? Where do you go next? What Radio do you buy? What mode or direction should you go? We answer all these questions and more in this episode

Welcome to the first episode of Live Free and Ham Podcast. Our Hosts, Eric (N1JUR), Todd (W1STJ), and Ryan (W1SNH), all take a moment to share how we got into the hobby and share memories of how we all met.
