Episode 32: California Dreamin' –

Stuff, California, TWiT, and Leo W6TWT



So much 'Stuff' this episode comes in two parts.



Part One: Jeff AC4ZO returns to HamRadioNow, but can't keep Gary KN4AQ on
track as he

rambles on about his trip to Atlanta where he saw the Coke Museum, Georgia
Aquarium,

CNN, and took a Segway tour. That's the "stuff". In California, we see
several iconic Silicone Valley

signs, which lead us to Xerox PARC and Stanford University for some history
of the

personal computer, and finally a tour of W6YX, the little radio club at
Stanford.



Part Two: We head north from Silicone Valley, up to the quaint town of
Petaluma, home of the

TWiT Studios and Ham Nation. Gary gets an extensive tour of (and below) the
studios and all

the technology that keeps it humming from Studio Manager John Slanina (aka
JammerB).



And finally, Gary's interview with Chief TWiT Leo Laporte W6TWT. Leo
reveals the real

reason he got a ham license, and what he plans to do with it.
