Ham Radio Now podcasts are the audio from our television programs (on YouTube.com/HamRadioNow). The shows are all about the hobby/service of Amateur Radio, but there are several types of shows all mixed up among the episodes. Some are talk shows, some are seminars and forums, and there's a mini-documentary now and then. The talk shows make the best audio listening, but you'll get something from almost all of them. We'll rate the "radio" quality in the show descriptions.

HRN 259: PokéHAM GOta (or Parity, Amended)
PokéHAM GOta? A Ham Radio version of the little game that's sweeping the country?
Sorry, no. That's just click bait to get you to check out this show about something far more important to Ham Radio, but maybe a little dry. We don't want to give it away, but nobody reads these descriptions anyway, so we feel fairly safe.
On July 13, the House Energy & Commerce Committee approved an amended version of HB 1301, the Amateur Radio Parity Act. So we'll show you that vote and a few comments, and then Gary reviews the original bill compared to the amended bill.
Gary tries pretty hard to read everything and make it accessible to the audio audience (and he even promotes the audio version of the show right up at the top), so we'll reward his effort with an audio grade of A-. Why the '-'? Well, there's gotta be room to improve.
