Morning Nets To Be Archived

I (N4UHZ) am now using the recording option for the net. I started it today, don't know how much space it will let me archive, but I would like to save recordings for a week at a time. So if you would like to hear the recordings, go to www.livestream.com/tnphonenet and the recordings will be under TV monitor on the page.

This is really working well and I thank Steve for the web page and allowing me to do this!

Back in the days of Tech TV, I was hopelessly addicted to the computer and technology show, The Screen Savers, hosted by Leo Laporte and Patrick Norton.  Good Times.  But networks get bought and sold and eventually Tech TV and The Screen Savers were no more.

Despondent, I eventually ran across shows and internet blogs where I can catch up somewhat with my favorite tech hosts.  Kevin and Alex hosted Diggnation...  Leo was still doing his Tech Guy radio show and the others popped up from time to time.

But Leo had a plan...  to eventually start what he calls "the CNN of Tech" and from his spare bedroom/broadcast center TWIT.TV was born.  TWIT has continued to grow and is now one of the premiere online tech content providers.  Revision3 is up there, too, but Leo has really put together a quality organization with a look and feel consistent throughout all the TWIT.TV shows.  And he's done it all the old-fashioned way - hard work, knowledge of his craft, and a true desire to put out a quality product.  And to beat it all, for years Leo has desired to become an Amateur Radio Operator.  Well, with the help of his friends Bob Heil and Gordon West, Leo finally accomplished his goal and of course, he immediately put out a great weekly show on Ham Radio called HamNation.  I try to keep up with it each week and have yet to be disappointed.  Most of the material presented is for the new to intermediate operator, but there are many interviews, etc., that will appeal to everyone.  Highly recommended.

80 Meter Propagation

HFRADIO.ORG has some really neat posts on radio propagation...  including everyone's favorite band!

Worth a look... lots of graphics and links to all things which relate to how well radio waves travel to and fro.

It's About Net Time

Just a short survey dealing with Amateur Etiquette.
    
No particular reason for this post... but kudos to David, WA4VVX, for his professional demeanor in avoiding a potentially unpleasant situation the other day    ;-)

Survey question:  What is the best way to convince another operator to surrender the frequency?

Note...  this survey is for grins and giggles only. We should all be grown-ups on the air.

Also, here's a link to the IARU manual Ethics and Operating Procedures For The Radio Amateur (online PDF file.)

I recommend Section III.9 : Conflict Situations  (pages 58 through  60.)  It's written with DX in mind but applicable to other situations as well.  I learned a few things while skimming through it.

Normally, I'm an agent provocateur in such matters, but I'm trying to be the better man.

N4UHZ Live Feed of 3980 Phone Net

Jim, N4UHZ, is providing a live feed of the 3980 TN Phone Net on Livestream.com!

I have put up a mini-version on the main 3980.us page along with a link to his TN Phone Net Livestream page. I'm not sure of all the times James will have the feed up but it looks like he will definitely be running it for the morning sessions!

This is a great service to the 3980 community and Jim is "the Man" for doing this!
