Hello operators.

Just a few tips to avoid getting scammed in the ham swap sites.
My first job out college almost 40 years ago was finding those who wished
not to be found because they owed money to the bank I worked for. I was
what they called a “skip tracer.” I looked for those who had skipped town
on their debts. Well, although I have not earned a living skip tracing
anyone in the last 35 years. Lessons learned in the late 1970’s are just as
useful today. Actually, with the onset of technology it’s much...

AREDN Project Manager Andre Hansen K6AH details this mesh based data
network thats up and running in the San Diego CA area. It uses the 2.4 and
3.4 GHz ham bands to haul data across the region, and then distribute it to
local users, with a primary EmComm goal.
Andre gave this talk at the ARRL & TAPR Digital Communications Conference
in St. Petersburg FL in September 2016.

On this episode, Christian, K0STH files his first complaint with the F.C.C.
Much to the dismay of a few, the QRM conversation makes a return this week.
Should we just turn the dial? Or, should we gather, stand up and exercise
the system? Well talk about it. Plus, a new program takes root. Learn about
Mines on the Air. All of this and more on this edition of 100 Watts and a
Wire.
