Episode 71 Ten-Ten International Net

Saving 10 meters, one ham at a time

10 meters is supposed to be hopping these days, but instead, it's limping.
And when the sunspot cycle is near minimum, 10 stays dead for months on
end. 10-10 International was formed to encourage 10 meter use all the time,
initially to stave off a potential CB expansion back in the 60's. Now it's
just to have fun on this quirky band. Jeff and Gary talk to Gerry Gross
WA6POV, former 10-10 president, at the Orlando HamCation, to see what the
group is all about.



Episode 72

Digital Modes for Alabama ARES

Not just D-STAR!

Alabama hams were early D-STAR adopters, led by the ARRL Section and ARES
officials. And it's not just D-STAR. ARES hams are encouraged to experiment
and adopt a variety of digital modes, and they're in use routinely. Gary
talks to Section Manager Dave Drummond W4MD, and Assistant Section Manager
Tommy Howell KG4MPU about how it's working.
