In this episode of Linux in the Ham Shack, our intrepid hosts put aside idle banter, childish meandering and silly stories in favor of true content, both ham radio and Linux related. All right, that doesn’t happen even a little bit. Instead, Richard has a lot of fun telling you all the trouble he has […]
Today Linux in the Ham Shack is graced with the appearance of an additional co-host: Harrison, VE2HKW, an amateur radio operator from Canada and sometimes host of the Mintcast, a podcast for Linux users from members of the Linux Mint community.
In the first segment, our hosts discuss three very useful Linux utilities for analyzing […]
Introduction: In this episode, Richard, KB5JBV, describes his funny looking plant hanger. 🙂 Topics: Having moved to a different house in a neighborhood with antenna restrictions, Richard took on the challenge of creating a low profile ham presence. He already had 50 feet of coax, an Arrow dual-band J-pole antenna, and some military surplus fiberglass…
Here we go. I spoke about my antenna challenges back when we started RRA. This is the episode where I talk about the temporary measures are implemented. This file has been in the queue for a while. I will get on an update as soon as I get a chance.

After our quick renumbering, we come now to Episode #076. It didn’t start out as an all-feedback episode, but that’s how it wound up. The best part is, we had such good feedback from our listeners it made an entire show. As it also happens, most of our discussion revolves around digital mode communication for […]
This episode we left up to the listeners because we hadn’t had enough time to prepare some content for ourselves. While waiting for some input, Richard decided to give an impromptu review of the improvements in Gnome 3 and his assessment of the technology, and where he thinks it’s going from here. You might be […]
Introduction: Richard, KB5JBV, discusses some training he prepared for emergency communications. But first, he raises the possibility of resurrecting Resonant Frequency, The Amateur Radio Podcast, with your financial support. Topics: Making yourself clear and understood on an emergency communications net. Some tips: Send your callsigns slowly and clearly. Use the ITU phonetic alphabet. Don’t yell…
This time on RRA I did a piece of training on the local ARES net and I figured I would share it with you. It is a basic introduction on making yourself clear and understood on an emcomm net. Pretty simple stuff but you would be surprised how many folks forget the simple stuff. It…
2012 is rolling along nicely and Linux in the Ham Shack is rolling along with it, bringing you new ways to use your computer with amateur radio, and sometimes just technology for fun (and maybe profit). This time around, the guys break into politics — just slightly — and get a few grievances of their […]
Today the guys delve deep into their geek pockets and come up with a couple of fairly advanced networking topics. One is ham radio related, the other is everything related. Don’t be scared off, however, as the discussion is a 10,000-foot overview of these technologies and how they will be important in YOUR future. Russ […]
