Ham Nation show on the TWiT Network

[N7LRD]

New Show - Ham Nation - Every Tuesday at 6:00 p.m. Pacific

The famous Bob Heil, owner and chief engineer at Heil Sound now hosts a weekly Ham Radio show on the TWiT TV network.



I've talked to him about his plans for future topics on the show and it is going to be a 'must see' or 'listen' for all Hams or those interested in Ham Radio.

I've posted a couple of articles about the show on my blog...

The show can be watched live on your computer at: http://live.twit.tv or you can view videocasts of the episodes on the TWiT site or download the podcasts at: http://twit.tv/hn It is live every Tuesday night at 6:00 p.m. Pacific. Hang around for a few minutes if it doesn't start promptly. The earlier shows on the network can sometimes run a little long and push the start time back a bit.

The 2nd show talked to folks who were involved as support in Joplin, MO after the recent tornado. It was a great episode that should be of interest to all of us here on LDS Hams.

The owner of the TWiT Network, Leo Laporte, is going to take Ham classes later this summer and will take all three ham license tests online as users watch. There are a number of very high profile Ham's that watch the show and will participate in future shows. As an example, Joe Walsh of the band, The Eagles, was on the first show. He is has been a Ham operator most of his life.

Bob hosts a weekly Ham Net from his shop in Illinois that is widely attended by Ham's around the world.

To my knowledge, it is the only regularly scheduled Ham Radio show in existence.
