Robert,
Your use of Morse Code for the open certainly captures the listeners attention. And your close was creative with audio layering. It does remind me of listening to short wave late at night.
In your podcast you referenced the possibility of winning a Goldline microphone. Did you win?
I’m also curious what kind of microphone you’re using for this podcast? Is it a Heil Goldline Studio Microphone?

Hello Discoveredu:
Yes, I did win the Goldline. Joe presented the mic to me and shook my hand. He is a real personable guy.
The mic I used for the podcast, however, is just a twenty-dollar computer type. I discovered the source of the scratch on the first podcast; I needed a shave.

Hello Jennie:
I started with the CB, which with the proper antenna and at my high elevataion, I am able to talk to persons in Florida.
I enjoy Ham radio as it requires a license and seems to remove most of the "garbage -mouth" from the airwaves.
I have met interesting people on air; One lady is 91 and a retired teacher, one man is a physisist and is building a Telsa coil.
There is also an opportunity to talk to those on the Space Shuttle using two meters ( a radio the coveres the 144-148 MHZ band).

You discovered a true Ham. Most have a dedicated room or office as there Ham Shack. Mine is a 10X20 office which contains a marine back-up battery, battery powered lights, a few radios (ham, shortwave, CB, personal radios capable of reaching out 7 miles). I hope to go solar soon (in my Shack as well as my home)

Howdy Mr. HAM. Nice background on the HAM radio system. You did a great job with the recording and congrats on the Golden Mic :-). It is interesting what we learn about each other from these classes.
How would the solar help out the HAM part? The electric companies offer many rebates now that help out folks with Solar power. In fact I tried to ge tmy school to put in covered pariking that has solar panels on the top that would cut the electric needs of our school big time, plus give us shade (Indio has 300 days of sunshine a year!).
Nice job.

Going solar would allow me to stay on air in the event of power failure. Right now my radios are powered by an AC power supply with a trickle charge going to the battery. Three years ago I saw the necessity of going solar: our area was hit by a large fire that knocked out the power for four days. The results were: no cell phone tower, the police and other emergency personnel were with communications (like what occured with Katrina), those with home phones that are wireless could not make calls. I have two back up wired phones which were able to call out.
Our local radio group ran emergency communications as well as non-emergency type calls. For example, a deputy sheriff friend was unable to communicate with his office; the solution was that I call the station on my home phone, then relay the call by radio, then the other radio operator would give the message to my friend. He was located 20 miles from my house.
It was amazing how most people were unaware that in case of power outage the emergency crews could not communicate as they rely on a repeater to resend the message. However, in Ham radio, it is possible to communicate by simplex, or simply talking witout a repeater over many miles. Foe example, I frequently talk to persons in San Francisco without the aid of a repeater.
