About this episode

The episode features discussions on the Rookie Roundup, coordinating ARISS contacts, and insights from a VHF/UHF book.

In this episode, we take a roundtable approach as each host brings a topic to the discussion. Brian shares insights from the Rookie Roundup and what makes it a great entry point into contesting. Dan talks about coordinating an ARISS contact, working with educators and local hams to connect students with an astronaut aboard the International Space Station. I wrap things up with a look at a VHF/UHF book I’ve been reading and what I’m taking away from it. If you’re interested in ham radio events, educational outreach, or building your knowledge of VHF and UHF operation, there’s something here for you.International Space Station Contact: https://www.youtube.com/live/z367mTfc2pY?t=3620sChannel 12 News ISS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-oBzgRxb-R8K0NR Blog and Website: https://www.k0nr.com/wordpress/K0NR old Blog: https://www.k0nr.com/blog/Cheaper Beeper: https://www.arrl.org/files/file/Instructor%20resources/Teaching%20Morse%20Code/Cheaper%20Beeper/W8WG%20Cheaper%20Beeper_1%20(2).pdfJoin us as we explore how you can get involved in portable radio, QRP, and more in this episode of the All Portable Discussion Zone (AP/DZ).
