In the midst of having lots of ham fun at the West Coast division ARRL annual ham convention called Pacificon, I remembered at some points to switch on the recorder and capture a few talks. Here I comment and share those clips. We hear Gordon West WB6NOA at Breakfast with Gordo, faster-than-packet Winlink speeds used by Walnut Creek CERT, and a bit of WWII history from Lee WA6IRL.

In this episode, I anticipate people will hit the "Next Podcast" button as I talk solo about what's been going on with Hamdom Thoughts and with AD6DM Dennis.
