also, ZERO DAZE TIL THE 109TH BEST EVER ST PATS!

The ARRL has launched a survey of members asking about maybe asking the FCC for a new Entry Level License. This show brings together a Pundit Panel of Podcasters (aka Herding Cats) to kick the ideas around. Gary, KN4AQ of HamRadioNow did the hard work to pull this show together. If Gary KN4AQ thought he had a plan for the show (and he sort of did), it fell before the onslaught of Neal Rapp WB9VPG (HamTalkLive), Sterling Coffey N0SSC and Marty Sullaway KC1CWF (Us), and co-host David Goldenberg W0DHG. Many words... but probably still not the Last Word! If you like the show, consider making a donation to help support what we do!
