We had a plan… and then we started talking. In this episode of Live Free and Ham, Eric (N1JUR), Paul (N1OG), Todd (W1STJ), and Mike (N2MAK) sit down for what was supposed to be a structured show… Yeah… that didn’t happen. What you do get is a real, unfiltered ham radio roundtable—where the...

No Eric. No Todd. No safety net. In this episode of Live Free and Ham… things get a little… unstructured. The Grouch (N1OG) takes over the show while Eric is off pretending he’s in Aspen and Todd is down for the count. So naturally, we brought in Tortoise (N3FML)… and yeah… it went exactly...

What happens when you stop waiting for activity… and just create it? In this episode, we dig into the surprising momentum behind the 2 Meter FM Activity a 52 Day Challenge What started as a fun idea quickly turned into a grassroots movement. Emails are still coming in. Operators are asking when th

Are we ignoring half the ham bands? In this episode, Eric N1JUR, Todd W1STJ, Paul N1OG, and Mike N2MAK dig into the “lost bands” of amateur radio — 220 MHz (1.25m), 900 MHz (33cm), 60 meters, and other underused parts of the spectrum. Why are these bands so quiet? Is it cost? Equipment availab...

In this episode of Live Free and Ham, hosts Eric and Paul sit down with Joe Brett to talk about an origin story that doesn’t start with a ham club meeting or an exam manual. Joe’s path into ham radio started with storm chasing and tornadoes — where radios weren’t a hobby, they were a tool. W...
