Our decision to use our YT Channel as an Airbnb rental has backfired, as our current tenants seem to have become somewhat comfortable and are reluctant to leave.
Be sure to head to the Ham Radio Clubhouse and see what we left at their doorstep.

Ever had a relaxing beach vacation interrupted by a sudden 60 mph gust of wind while you're trying to operate your ham radio? This week on Live Free and Ham, we recount our family trip to North Carolina, balancing leisure and our passion for Parks on the Air (POTA) activations. Alongside our travel tales, Todd shares his ongoing battle with a rotting deck at home, while I navigate my own ham radio hurdles, including a particularly vexing experience with the Ham Shock Hotline. And don't miss the heartwarming moment when a perfectly aimed beam antenna helped us connect with co-host Ryan during our travels!
Frequency etiquette can be a minefield, and we’ve got plenty of stories to illustrate how patience and diplomacy can turn potential conflicts into opportunities for community building. Tune in as we unpack an intense encounter during a POTA activity, where a net operator aggressively claimed frequency ownership, and how we managed to keep our cool. We also shine a light on the importance of respecting designated frequencies, especially during emergencies and special events like field days, and share tips for maintaining harmony on the airwaves.
Finally, join us as we talk about the unsung heroes in the ham radio world, including a new segment called "Doing Good," aimed at showcasing the positive contributions from ham radio clubs across the globe. Although submissions are slow, we encourage you to share your stories. We wrap up with a shoutout to Kevin from Iowa and his new YouTube channel, Farm RC Pilot, celebrating his return to the RC hobby. Whether you're knee-deep in a DIY project or navigating the airwaves, this episode has something to inspire every ham radio enthusiast.

We were not skydiving ourselves - jumping out of a perfectly functioning airplane didn't make sense. Instead, we enjoyed listening to Carlos K9OL from @LifeAtTerminalVelocity share his experiences with mobile parachuting and other fun ham radio activities.
