Ham Radio Podclass 2016

Just a quick update talking about Christmas and traveling.  Possible new car and the fact that 2020 is OVER very soon.  Good deal. 

Had some tractor stuff I did today. Talked about maybe getting a Model A Ford and some other stuff!

I talk about trying to find headlights for my old tractor and how it's impossible to find them locally (at the right price or size).   Also, the "Help Mike take podcasting more seriously improvement program".

I got a new (to me) 49 year old tractor! I talk about the elite control freaks running our states and cities and play a clip from a "Funny" but not so funny video on YouTube.

Just a really quick update after nearly 2 months. We had some Covid in the house. All is well now. The new Studio/Office is 99% finished. New podcasting things going on under the hood. I will be doing NaPodPoMo again this year on PodcastHelpDesk.com. Check out to see if I can put out 30 good episodes in 30 days.

Just a description of the episode typed into the description tag. Lots of pics of my studio construction and the finished product.

Just a quick note to let you know I will no longer be on Spotify with this show. IF you are listening there, please go to mikedell.com and resubscribe using another platform by September 7th, 2020. Thank You! Episode 350 will be next week.

Let me know if you see this text and where. Otherwise, enjoy the show!

A lunchtime update mostly about being home and locked down. I talk about; Politics Drugs TV Work Zoom Meetings Ham Radio Gas Prices All the things going on here.   ZjHLwsoDmG63O8zW7NyB

photo credit Jim Farley Just a mini-rant / update from the Bunker at Mike Dell's World Studios in Traverse City Michigan.  Talking about censorship and other things due to the "Recent events in the news".   Hope all of you are safe and healthy!   Just know... IF I go away from whatever platform you are looking at, I can always be found at MikeDell.com

Click on image for more info Did this sort of live via Zoom.  Had Shawn Thorpe ( shawn.mx ) drop by and we had a great talk about the issues with the current situation with Trucker, Restaurants and the Airlines among other things. We also talked about eSports and the fact that NASCAR is doing eNASCAR this week on FS1 network TV.   They are running a virtual race on the track they would have been on this weekend using iRace (whatever that is)   Should be fun seeing the normal broadcasters doing a video game race as if it was a real one. I'm thinking of doing a virtual Happy Hour thing a few times.  Stay tuned to my Facebook for into on how to join in ( facebook.com/mgdell )  

Why are people hoarding Toilet Paper?   I don't know.   BUT it is happening. Check out this article from Time Magazine  I talk about the COVID-19 outbreak and some of the things to think about and wonder about.    I have no "FACTS".  Nobody does.  It just my impressions, opinions and what I have heard, read and seen. I talk about Social Distancing and why it's a good idea ANYWAY.   Regardless of what is going on right now. Be careful out there!

My thoughts on Daylight Saving Time: Leave it on DST year around Later Sunrise right now sucks Dogs can't figure it out TV Networks Greedy or Stupid?  Same with Newspapers.

Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Quick phone update. Hope the sound doesn’t suck too badly

Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Update from an easy chair in a snow storm in Northern Michigan. Simplifying things that have become a personal pain the ass has been a good thing over the last few months. I’ve cut down the podcasting hobby to this show (Mike Dell’s World), Podcast Insider and Traverse City Weather.     Podcast Help Desk will remain online and I *may* add episodes once in a while. I’ve cut down obligations in Ham Radio.   No longer am I the District EC for the 7th district of Michigan. We cut the cable several months ago and went back to an Antenna for TV. Simplifying my diet. Other ways to just keep things as simple as possible.
