Thank You Very Much for listening to the Ham Radio 360 Podcast.
In this real quick, last episode, I take the opportunity to 'say' good-bye.
I appreciate the opportunity to have served you and the Amateur Radio Community over these last few years.
73 Y'all

Friends,
In 2011 I achieved a nearly lifelong goal; I became an Amateur Radio Operator.
In 2014 I began, as a means to scratch an itch, an Amateur Radio Podcast.
The podcast, then named ‘Fo Time’ was never supposed to succeed. I had no intention of releasing any more than 5 to 10 programs. Almost 4 years later, 90+ shows, and over a 3/4 million downloads, I’m still wondering how I got here.
Through that time, I was a small part of promoting the Amateur Radio Hobby via the medium of podcasting. What began as an experiment soon became a platform for a New Ham Operator to learn the ropes. Along the journey I was blessed with the opportunity to connect with and learn from some of the most brilliant and entertaining people on the planet.
I have been continually astounded by my listening audience and their contribution to the efforts of what became the Ham Radio 360 Podcast and brand. Not only was I afforded the opportunity to learn from the best, I was able to share in those experiences with many others as the brand’s influence grew. Additionally the platform allowed other programs to be birthed for the good of the hobby that will continue to educate and entertain the masses.
However, I began to realize just how much of me it took to produce quality content and maintain the brand. In October of 2017 I took a break from my regular show production with a promise to return in 2018. I upheld that promise but soon realized that the continued pressure to perform and create was more than I was willing to maintain anymore.
With that understanding I have decided to discontinue, in it’s entirety, the Ham Radio 360 Podcast. I plan to maintain the HamRadio360.com Website and Podcast Feed of past shows and content as a contribution to the Amateur Radio Hobby.
I sincerely appreciate the opportunity to have served you and the wonderful Amateur Radio Hobby.
Gratefully yours,
Cale Nelson/K4CDN

The Salmi Brothers are back (don't miss their initial interview) to teach us about their Educational Development Radio Company-Faraday RF and some of their Outer-Space Creations!
In this Nuts and Volts episode we get into the minds of Brent (KB1LQD) and Bryce (KB1LQC) as they break down the ins and outs of their Ham Radio venture. More than just building a SDR; Faraday RF looks to expand the hobby for tomorrows operators.
Join us as we pull back the veil and get a glimpse of the future..."Challenging the notion of making a contact"

As you might imagine Twin Brothers Bryce and Brent have a great deal in common. Both are Millennial Ham Radio Ops, Developers and Rocket Scientists just to name a few shared interest!
The Brothers Salmi drop in for a conversation about their vision for the future of the Ham Radio hobby. Raised as inventors and tinkerers these guys are poised to take that to an entirely different level with their educational development company, Faraday RF. But before we get into the 'what' we get into the 'why' as we look back to a childhood filled with promise, learning and dreaming to a present full of building, making, and doing!
If you're searching for proof that your beloved hobby will outlast your days-give this show a listen to be challenged and encouraged for tomorrow!

It's doubtful that you haven't been affected by the recent hurricanes, no matter where you reside. Here in the Upstate of South Carolina-we were indeed touched by Irma and in this episode of the Ham Radio 360 Podcast, I share some of my lessons learned.
Following that, I break the news that as of this episode, #87, I will be taking a much needed vacation from the Podcast grind. The Workbench and Field Radio Podcast will stay on schedule-but HR360 is hanging up the vacation sign and going away for a bit. 3+ years of creating content and full-on engagement has taken a toll on my balance of life so I've decided to step away, with a potential return in January 2018. A big thanks to all who helped take a 'joke' and turn into 'something'!
The recent storms seemed to reignite the ever-smoldering embers of Ham Radio's place in EMCOMM. No surprise to see the many hams out in force debating the relevance of Amateur Radio in an Emergency. Since we've never settled the no-code or Chi-com debates....what's another to continue to divide the community--I guess we really are a reflection of society after all!
Just a few days after Irma brought strong winds and heavy rain to the farm, I took my seat at the front of the room for the local ARES meeting. I believe that communications is King (especially in today's tech-centric world)! I also believe that Amateur Radio should have a place in the local communications response to emergent situations or times of duress. Finally, I believe that Ham Radio will NOT save the world; but it is a great tool to have if and when something goes wrong. period. A few months ago the local ARES-EC asked me to help get the ball rolling here in Spartanburg County, SC. We'll see what happens, right now it's trending positive. The upcoming GridEX Exercise will be a stretch for our group-but I think we'll weather it well.
The last 86+ episodes have offered many solutions to EMCOMM issues as well as introducing many aspects of the Hobby that some of us have never heard mentioned on the local 2m repeater. If you are a new listener, I invite you to page back through our catalog of shows, pick something you're interested in and give it a spin. If you've been here a while, thanks for sticking around!
Thanks again for listening!

I was introduced to Kevin, KB9RLW, by my friend Julian OH8STN and his postings on Instagram/Twitter. A few months back FSQ was a 'new' mode and some were excitedly giving it a go. Julian had posted a link to a video on FSQ and it I knew this was a mode I was very interested in learning about! Enter the 'Old Tech Guy' on Youtube and here we are!
Kevin and I set about determining the compatibility of schedules and just last week we were able to connect via a wonky Skype call and get this information together for you. While we do spend some time discussing the FSQ mode, I also discovered Kevin is a die-hard Linux user. Kevin fills us in on his Linux use for Ham Radio and his YouTube Channel creations.
*I've noted on the socials a few times last week that I did indeed mispronounce the insanely popular digital mode FT8; for whatever reason I referred to it as JT8 four different times in this show.
**Additionally, I have utilized the FSQ mode since recording this conversation with what I'd consider Success! I can foresee this mode becoming a go-to for my friends and I locally on HF and VHF.

Don Keith is a long time Ham Radio Operator who combined his love of RF and conversation into a writing career that spans nearly 40 titles. He joins me on this episode of the Ham Radio 360 podcast to talk about his latest novel- Dial Dancing, some his other titles, copying 35 wpm CW, and more!
Don went all the way, in an effort to encapsulate the entire spectrum of ham radio magics with the sub-title of his latest work!

A few weeks back in our Facebook Group, Curtis Williamson (W4HCW) mentioned he'd like to hear me do a show about the 13 Colonies Special Event. I connected with Bob, ND7J, the webmaster for the event as well as an event operator from the state of North Carolina. I feature our conversation in this episode of HamRadio 360.
The 13 Colonies Special Event is held during Independence Weekend each July and began in 2009, as a 'One Time' event. After logging over 12,000 contacts with just 13 operators, it's founder Ken, KU2US, discovered he was onto something. Since it's inception the event has grown exponentially with many more state operators and a network of help that spans the globe.
This is one of my favorite contests to participate in each year! Thanks to Bob for coming on to help us learn more, and I hope you all get a chance to participate and get a clean sweep! To learn more about the Event, Logging, Certificates and more visit the 13 Colonies Special Event page at www.13colonies.net

Recently, my friend and fellow podcaster Glenn Hebert, asked if I'd join him on his Live, Daily Podcast: Horses in the Morning. Every once in a while Glenn produces a Non-Horsey show, and I was pleased to be invited. Segment 3 of this episode features that quick conversation as I try to explain Ham Radio in less than 7 minutes :)

Hap Holly, KC9RP, has been producing The Rain Report since the 1980's.
“From his home studio/ham shack in suburban Chicago, Hap Holly, KC9RP, produces this 10 to 15- minute weekly amateur radio program service, featuring timely interviews, occasional thought-provoking commentaries from other hams, excerpts from Hamvention Forums and other items of general interest to the ham radio community at large."
The Rain Report can be heard on some local repeaters around the US as well as on-line and in your podcast player. Hap and I caught up via Skype back before Hamvention, and he's recently released our conversation that I share here in segment 4. I appreciate the continued effort of Hap and his dedicated support staff as they work to bring us The Rain Report. You can find The Rain Report at the www.therainreport.com

In this episode of the Ham Radio 360 Podcast, I'm joined by Nick, KK6LHR to discuss ADS-B (Automatic Dependent Surveillance – Broadcast). Known around here as "Tracking Airplanes with a SDR"...there's a lot more to it than that, and Nick helps me understand the ins and outs plus getting started in ADS-B.
Automatic dependent surveillance – broadcast (ADS–B) is a surveillance technology in which an aircraft determines its position via satellite navigation and periodically broadcasts it, enabling it to be tracked. The information can be received by air traffic control ground stations as a replacement for secondary radar. It can also be received by other aircraft to provide situational awareness and allow self separation. *wikipedia
Nick is more that just a nosy guy wanting to see what's flying overhead, he was determined to get the best signal down the line into his shack. From Homebrewing LNA'a to Amazon he's compiled the gear and knowledge to help us make the most of our efforts!
Thanks for coming on Nick, I really appreciate your time, helping this all make sense!

We've talked a great deal about Hamvention over the last few weeks, and we're gonna wrap it up here today!
Chris Purdy and I have been friends for years and he surprised me a few months ago when he volunteered to tag along on the drive to Xenia. Chris is a Shiny New Ham Radio Operator, and he'd never been to a hamfest before...so why not Hamvention!
Maybe a little overwhelmed at the onset, he quickly came around and is now making plans to go back next year! Give the show a listen for a "New Guys" perspective on the event. From initial impressions, things learned and friends made, Chris and I break it all down for you including some insider info from behind the scenes of the Ham Radio 360 Hamvention Team.
I finish up with some final thoughts on the event, the location, new sponsors, and next years plans.

it usually begins like this "Cale, when are you going to do a show on....?"
In this episode, Wayne (K4SPA) asks Cale to do a show on Winlink, a mode of communicating with radios and computers. Although Cale has limited experience with Winlink, he found someone to help him and the audience learn more about it. Brett Smith (KE0EWY) is a long-time supporter of HR360 and a fan of Winlink. He joins the show to give an introduction to Winlink, Winmor, and RMS Express. The episode is not a deep dive into Winlink but rather an overview of what it is and what is required to get started with this mode of communication.

In this, the 75th installment of Ham Radio 360 Podcast we talk Community.
You hear me harp on community almost daily. It's real to me, and I hope this program helps it continue to grow. While there are tons of negatives in our hobby, I always stretch to find the high points. One of those highs came to me a few months back. A gracious listener charged me with finding a New Ham that needed some help getting started with quality equipment. I assumed this would be an easy task with so many new hams flooding in...it was a little tougher than I had imagined!
It seems that most new hams are hitting the ground running and purchasing big items straight out of the gate. That was until I met Josh Hunley, KD9GOT. I won't spoil the story because I want you to listen to him tell it! We surprise Josh with some really cool gear purchased by our Gracious Listener and supplied by MTCRadio.com!
We carry on to the #KX2forCale! Yes, I have an KX2 in the shack-sent over from Elecraft to demo this Spring as I begin to explore QRP/Adventure Radio (gonna be fun y'all!)
Finally, i discuss the loss of my first friend/elmer to go SK. Harold Kinley (WA4GIB) passed last week. In my short time in the hobby this was the first 'Elmer' I've lost. Harold was a great man, and the very epitome of the Community I hope to encourage in the Amateur Radio Hobby/Service.
