About this episode

In this unstructured episode, The Grouch takes over the show with guest Tortoise, discussing various topics from listener voicemails to unexpected ham radio experiences.

No Eric. No Todd. No safety net. In this episode of Live Free and Ham… things get a little… unstructured. The Grouch (N1OG) takes over the show while Eric is off pretending he’s in Aspen and Todd is down for the count. So naturally, we brought in Tortoise (N3FML)… and yeah… it went exactly how you’d expect. We start with: Listener voicemails (yes… including the usual suspects) Winlink messages from the community A surprisingly legit round of technician questions 146.52 / simplex activity (or lack of it 👀) …and then… We somehow end up talking about: Coffee wars ☕ Weather mood swings (Mother Nature needs help) Mobile operating struggles Ham radio in unexpected places (like… skydiving??) And whatever else popped into our heads This is one of those episodes where: 👉 There’s no script 👉 No real plan 👉 And absolutely no adult supervision But honestly… that’s kind of what makes it fun. ************************************ Support the show: Buy Us a Beer: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/lfhpodcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/LiveFreeandHamPodcast Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100093543540309 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/livefreeandham/ *************…
