PARP 50–Now Available
A few days ago I recorded and made available the 50th episode of the practical amateur radio podcast. A few hours later I started coming down with cold-like symptoms and spent a few days resting to try to get ahead of this prior to Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. I’m glad to report I did manage to get just slightly ahead and at least appeared to be alive and coherent. Thank God for cold meds, chicken noodle soup and my wonderful wife.
If you’ve been around from the beginning, you already know I started PARP in May 2008. The 50th episode wraps up the 4th season and I truly look forward to 2012 and many, many more episodes.
Episode 50 is devoted to SOTA or Summits On The Air. I realize I’ve recently blogged about and have also talked a lot about SOTA. While the activity is certainly a new passion, I realize there is much, much more to the hobby. However, based on comments I’ve received from listeners via email, Twitter and Facebook…I know many have an interest and wanted to discuss the topic so you might plan and conduct your own SOTA chasing and/or activations.
PARP is available and you can subscribe via iTunes, Zune or stream directly from MyAmateurRadio.com. Want to stream on the go from your favorite smart phone device? You can do that as well from our mobile site.
Finally, as a Christmas gift to my family and I suppose to the podcast, I now own a small HD Sony video camera. I do plan to create some supplemental video content for PARP and will also document some (perhaps) all of my SOTA activations.
Thank you for listening.
Until next time….

I know I’ve written this before, but if you haven’t taken the time to check out Jerry’s fantastic podcast — do it now!
I don’t think I’ve ever listened to an episode where I didn’t get to the end and think how I was really glad I’d taken the time to listen. He really does an A+ job.
Thank you Matt for the kind words. It really is a joy to produce the episodes and share with all.
