* Episode 76 – Software Defined Radios – Downloads: 2,788

This episode was the first of three times that I had Ria Jairam, N2RJ on my show. In this episode we talked about first off, what a software Defined Radio was and secondly what are some of the options out there to use them. We talked about several different types, but probably the brand that we talked about the most is the Flex Radio Systems Radios.
This conversation actually lead to the next episode I did with Ria about Remote Operations in episode 83. I don’t know which I had more fun with in that episode, the interview itself or the research leading up to it. Before we did the interview, Ria let me remote into her Flex Radio Systems Radio and operate through it from my laptop. It was soooo much fun!

* Episode 71 – Field Day with Ian Kahn, KM4IK – Downloads: 2,804

This episode was the first time that Ian saved my bacon, so to speak. I first interviewed Ian in episode 67, which we talk about later. I asked Ian on very short notice if he would come back on the show and talk with me about Field Day that was coming up soon.I had so much fun talking with Ian in this episode, and all the episodes that he has been on before and after this one.
In this episode, we talked about Field Day 2017. Ian was(don’t think he still is) in charge of his Club’s Field Day operation and he talked to me about what they do in his club.
