What is a podcast? Don't worry about that. Turn on your speakers on your PC or Mac and click it. It will work - it may take a while to download though. If it doesn't work, please contact me.

These will be geeky, boring, or strange. Always G-rated, always about radio. Oh, and fun. You may like it, you may not.
New feature: "behind the scenes" at 99 Hobbies
Hi Everyone,
There is a new feature at 99 Hobbies. You will be able to listen in during the recording of the phone interview, live. You will call in to a special number, and you will be "behind the scenes" while I am interviewing the next guest on 99 Hobbies. You will be able to hear the preparation, introduction, and follow-up conversation, along with any flub-ups that we make. These usually don't make it to the final podcast, but you will be hearing it as it happens, and who knows what you will hear!
Jeff's Walk
Today I talked with Jeff Johnson, VK4XJJ on the phone about his cross-country walk.
He had ham radio along for the ride -- among other things.
Jeff was raising money for charity in the process of this 2,500 km "walkabout".
Show notes (many lifted from Jeff's site):
eBook now available. Five months backpacking over 2,500kms across Oz with 5W FT-817nd US$5.
