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 276 Part ONE: Ham Radio 8.0 - Sunday Seminar from the DCC
PART ONE of the Sunday Seminar from the 2016 ARRL/TAPR DCC. Michelle Thompson W5NYV talks spectrum and cognitive radio. She expects technology to really shake up the radio art in the near future. That's just the warm-up act, getting ready for Bob...
HRN 275: EmComm Extra #3 - MARS Attacks
Another classic HamRadioNow clickbait title. We're really talking about the fall 2016 Ham Radio/MARS Interop test, this one titled "A Really Bad Day". Gary and David talk to Army MARS Program Manager Paul English WD8DBY and get detailed about...
HRN 274: EmComm Extra - AfterMatth(ew)
Gary KN4AQ and new Co-Host David Goldenberg W0DHG launch the HamRadioNow EmComm Extra with Episode 2, because Episode 1 was a rush job during the onset of Hurricane Matthew. This time they talk to two hams who participated directly in ARES...
HRN 273: FEMA - Go Big (from the 2016 DCC)
FEMA Chief Technology Officer Ted Okada K4HNL addresses the 2016 ARRL & TAPR Digital Communications Conference. Unlike most DCC talks, this is not highly technical, but Ted does conclude with a challenge to develop digital tools to advance the art...
HamRadioNow: KIDS These Days
When is an episode not an episode? When I say it isn't. And I don't give it a number. Getting young people into our aging hobby is hardly a new or original idea, and best I can tell, we haven't come up with any one gamechanger. There probably won't...
HRN 272: GeoSync Satellite for the Americas (from the 2016 DCC)
We've been hearing about a Geosynchronous satellite for the Western Hemisphere for a while now, but not many details. In this episode from the DCC, project leader Bob McGwire N4HY fills in a lot of blanks. There's no launch date yet, and maybe not...
HRN 271: Welcome to the 2016 DCC
This... well, the second half of it, is TAPR President Steve Bible N7HPR's welcome to the hams assembled in St. Petersburg FL for the 2016 DCC. The first half is Gary talking about the video production. So nothing critical here - just an orientation...

HRN 8 (ARCHIVE EPISODE): FCC "Impediments Inquiry"
The US House has passed HR 1301 (the Amateur Radio Parity Act), and we're awaiting (some of us hoping, some not) for passage in the Senate. We've never been this close. This process didn't begin in 2012, but that's the year we took a big step......
HRN 269: Bull in a China Shop
HamRadioNow doesn't do 'unboxings', and we don't do product reviews per se, but this time we do both. A new BaoFeng UV 5x3 tri-band handheld (144-220-440) caught his eye, and at about $80 he thought 'why not'. He needed to learn more about this wave...
