Ham Radio Podclass 2016

What is a ham radio NET? Short answer: It's a scheduled weekly (or other time-frame) special purpose gathering of hams on a particular frequency. Types of nets can be, but are not limited to, Club Nets, ARES (emergency communications), County hunters, friends schedules or just Rag chew nets. They can be directed, roll call or round table.

When is it time to get rid of the old car?  I have 2 of them that I really shouldn't put any money into. BUT, they are not THAT broken. First on the list is my Loser Cruiser My 2006 Dodge Grand Caravan that has a 1/4 million miles on it. It just keeps going and going and going. Right now its leaking power steering fluid. If its the Pump, then it *might* be time to junk it. The other one is a 2006 Subaru Forester that I already totaled once, bought it back, traded it for a pickup truck, traded back for it just recently.  It has numerous issues.  But nothing too expensive, just a Pain in the butt. My nephew just junked my old 93 F-150 that I sold him 8 years ago.  The frame broke.  It was time.

Today I talk all about snow in Traverse City.   Here are some info about snow at this website.   This podcast is posted on MikeDell.com Go there and subscribe!

I talk how I got started in podcasting an why. Also a bit of history (I can't  help it :)  )

I will be trying to do an episode every day for the month of November. Check out napodpomo.org. I'm also participating in No Shave November this year. I'm starting a little early on that one.  I hope to see what a santa-beard looks like on me :)  I will post pics weekly starting November 1st. Will the NaPodPoMo episodes be the best episodes ever?  Likely not, but they will be short and I will try to make them fun. What can you say?  :)  Its always fun listing to someone go from nice fall weather to winter. My plan is to do on different topics each day of the week. Sundays: I will do a Ham Radio related episode.  (My callsign is K8LMJ - see my ham info at K8LMJ.com) Mondays: Podcasting related Tuesdays: Traverse City (Northern Michigan) related Wednesdays: Car related Thursdays: Current events (Maybe Politics?) Fridays: History stuff Saturdays: Host's choice This podcast is posted on MikeDell.com Go there and subscribe (or follow‽) !

First off, I sold my Motor Home, bought a Pickup truck and talked a lot about car stuff.  I'm a poor car guy :)  What can I say.  Got to go to Podcast Movement in Nashville Tennessee.
