Welcome to Episode 215 of Inside The Line: The Catskill Mountains Podcast! This week, Mike Volpe joins the show to talk about bringing ham radios into the Catskills—and why hiking isn’t always as “off the grid” as you think. We get into the gear, the tech, and what it actually takes to become a licensed ham radio operator. We also dive into a real rescue on Blackhead Mountain, swap some brutally honest tick prevention tips, and take a look at the latest regulations hitting Mount Everest.
