In this episode, I join Martin Butler M1MRB, Caryn Eve Murray KD2GUT, Edmund Spicer M0MNG and Colin Butler M6BOY to discuss the latest amateur/ham radio news, including:
- ITU Corporation Purchases HyGain and Cushcraft lines from MFJ. My personal opinion is that this is a great thing for ham radio.
- New Regulations for Hams in Norway. Norway introduces a new entry-level license, or as it is called in the legal text, “limited license”.
- Students are ‘Over The Moon’. NASA has gotten several universities—and their amateur radio clubs—involved in tracking the Artemis mission.
- Station’s Experiments Explore Use of 4m and 8m Bands. Despite these experiments, don’t get your hopes up for a 4-meter band any time soon. There are still six analog, Channel 4 stations that are on the air.
- Arrest for Interference with Emergency Radio Channels
- Britain Seeks Views Before it Drops the Hammer on Signal Jammers
Colin, M6BOY also reports on the following:
- 2026 ARRL Field Day Merch Now Shipping
- VOA Museum Announces Expanded Hours During Hamvention. If you’re going to Dayton, try to carve out some time for this fabulous museum.
- Your TP-Link Router is Under Attack from Russian State Hackers
The episode’s feature is Home brewing / Kit building.
I like getting an update on Ham Radio activities around the world. Very good.
