Ham Radio Podclass 2016

I talk about the website hosting and some of the issues I have been having over the last few months.    (see Blog post here) Otherwise things are going well in the Northwoods!

Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Quick phone update. Hope the sound doesn’t suck too badly

Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Update from an easy chair in a snow storm in Northern Michigan. Simplifying things that have become a personal pain the ass has been a good thing over the last few months. I’ve cut down the podcasting hobby to this show (Mike Dell’s World), Podcast Insider and Traverse City Weather.     Podcast Help Desk will remain online and I *may* add episodes once in a while. I’ve cut down obligations in Ham Radio.   No longer am I the District EC for the 7th district of Michigan. We cut the cable several months ago and went back to an Antenna for TV. Simplifying my diet. Other ways to just keep things as simple as possible.

Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Just an update about my cable cutting project. I found an amplifier that I got a long time ago when I *thought* we were going to cut the cable. It allows me to power 2 TV's with the same antenna setup. I wired that up tonight and we get everything available over the air up here now. Kind of proud of myself Also, as you might have noticed, I've been playing with some ad insertion tech from the company I work for. You may hear some “injected” audio (ads) in this show at least up to 7-19-19 After that, who knows what you might hear in those spots I will have Barry Kantz on “Your Podcast” over at blubrry on Monday.

Facebook Twitter LinkedIn It's been very rainy here in Traverse City lately. Lake Michigan is at a high water level which makes my basement into a bit of a swamp. It's a cycle and it will go back down I'm sure. Lets hope for a hot and dry summer up here!

Facebook Twitter LinkedIn This needs to be said again.
