On this episode, a recap of Field Day 2016. We’ve got field reports, commentary and even a marriage proposal. Wait… What? Yep. Only on 100 Watts and a Wire can you set up your portable stations, have great fellowship, make lots of contacts and get engaged.
100 Watts and a Wire ® is a weekly podcast celebrating amateur radio. Join Christian Cudnik, K0STH for topical conversation, interviews, news and an entertaining look at the adventures of a ham trying to figure it all out.
100 Watts and a Wire is perfect for those who are new to ham radio, those looking to serve as Elmer’s, and the technically curious crowd.
Whether you run 5 watts or 1500 watts, everyone is welcome. In our community, it’s OK not to know everything, ask for help, give advice and get on the air.
