Ever wondered how ham radio can add a spark to your travels? Join us in this episode of Live Free and Ham as we share how we seamlessly blend our love for ham radio with our vacation adventures. Hear the hilarious story of Paul (N1OG) being recognized at a local club meeting by Keith Chopler (AC1RH). We also give a nod to dedicated listeners like Kilo Bravo One Zulu Tango X-Ray, who’s on his journey to earning an extra license, and celebrate the exceptional work of ham radio clubs like W5TMP and GLARG, who recently conducted a successful military testing session.
Fancy combining your hobbies with family time? We reminisce about the transformation of our podcast, from "Ham and Potatoes" to "Live Free and Ham," and discuss how vacation habits shape our ham radio activities. Discover how Paul manages to juggle fishing trips and park activations during travels to Virginia and North Carolina, and get a sneak peek into future plans for St. John. The logistics, joys, and challenges of these outdoor escapades are sure to resonate with any ham radio enthusiast looking to balance personal interests with family fun.
Dreaming of a serene getaway? The latter part of the episode takes you on a journey to the tranquil island of St. John in the Virgin Islands. From challenging mountain hikes to early morning beach strolls, we share how ham radio can fit into your peaceful retreats. Explore the unique driving conditions, local insights, and the dream of visiting all 50 states, possibly in a sprinter van post-retirement. Tune in to be inspired by tales of island life, extended stays, and how to stay connected with the vibrant Live Free and Ham community, all while planning your own radio adventures.
