I know this isn’t new news. but given the work I’ve been doing recently with the Raspberry Pi and since I recently got my ‘General’ Amateur Radio license, the fact that you can use the Raspberry Pi as a low power transmitter for the Weak Signal Propagation Reporter (WSPR) network I findĀ fascinating. Definitely have to get myself setup to investigate some of these digital modes.
Overlapping hobbies: computer technology and Ham radio – Ham Radio Now’s interview with TWiT
I probably have far too many hobbies š I’ve always beenĀ interestedĀ in radio communications, and I’ve decided recently I’m going to take the plunge and get my Technician ham radio license. I was just watching a past episode of Ham Radio Now where they went and toured Leo Laporte’s TWiT studios in Petaluma, and wow, holy cow, I had no idea how much was actually involved behind the scenes at the TWiT studios, my jaw was on the floor.
This is a fantastic behind the scenes look at what’s involved in producing the TWiT shows, well worth a watch (check out part 2) if you’re familiar with Leo’s shows or are just interested in what’s involved to produce an online video podcast based show:Ā http://arvideonews.com/hrn/HRN_Episode_0032.html
