[B][COLOR=#0000FF]HAM[/COLOR][COLOR=#FF0000]RADIO[/COLOR][COLOR=#0000FF]NOW[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000].tv[/COLOR][/B] Episodes 201 and 202 DZKit (what Heathkit could be today) and a premature look at our DCC KICKSTARTER Episode 202 is mostly a conversation with Brian Wood W0DZ, owner of DZKit. I've peeked at Brian's booth at Dayton over the years, watching him get a little bigger and more polished. He's concentrated mostly on one product, the Sienna, a high-performance HF transceiver that you build (some of) yourself. They solder the hard stuff, including all the surface-mount, but there's plenty left for you. Before talking to Brian, I cover some odds and ends around the Hamvention. And I apologize to the people who I just relegated to the status of odd or end. Episode 201 puts us back on the air after being gone a month, first to Hawaii, and then to Dayton. It includes an 'embedded' recording of the pitch I'll put in the KICKSTARTER that will launch on June 2 to fund shooting video of the 2015 ARRL/TAPR Digital Communications Conference, coming in October this year. Enjoy how clueless I was as I misspoke the end date of the KICKSTARTER as "January 31" instead of July 31, and be amazed at how I corrected it for the actual KICKSTARTER when it goes live on June 2 (hint: watch my lips). Padding out that 90 minute show, I review the stuff I shot at Dayton that's coming up 'soon,' I stuff a bunch of cash in Arvin that people gave me at the Hamvention (yay!), I do my first (and probably last) 'unboxing,' of the FreeDV SM-1000 'Speaker-Mic' that arrived from China, and I wrap it up with a slide show of a small part of our Hawaii vacation. Most of the Dayton stuff will be forums (TAPR, DX, Operating, DMR), but I'm working on a show focusing on programming radios, and I talked to the RTSystems and RFinder guys. I think it'll be interesting. I'm going to put Episode 201 here in the box, and hope you go find 202 on the web site.
