What Hams Do is a new amateur radio podcast being produced by the Eastern Pennsylvania (EPA) section of the ARRL. Spearheaded by Jay Silber, WA2AUR, EPA Section Public Information Coordinator, there are currently two episodes available, with a third on the way.
Episode #1, “The Future of Ham Radio,” discusses how young people are getting involved in ham radio. Silber found that “young people are definitely getting involved, but in ways that just might surprise you.” There’s also a video version of this episode.
Episode #2, “We ‘re Ready,” describes how amateur radio operators are right in the thick of the response to COVID-19.
The next episode, “Minorities in Amateur Radio,” is set to premiere this Sunday on YouTube. This episode will explore the myths and facts about race in ham radio.
I was a little confused by the episode numbering. Silber explained, however, that there will be audio versions of all of the podcasts and video versions of only some episodes.
