Hello, LHS listeners! In this episode we have a very special treat in store for you all. We have a personal talk with Dr. Christian Jacobs, though I suspect he'd be upset that we labeled him doctor. He's a Ph. D., done a great deal of work with fluid dynamics, and he also happens to be a ham radio operator. He programs using Python and he's written PyQSO, a great lightweight logging application. W...

Today we present our first interview with one of the three Indiegogo donors who pledged an incredibly generous amount to earn a spot of honor on our very program. We have a great talk with Doug Jones, N6LMX, talking about everything from banjos to Hamvention, and from Linux to gastropods. You definitely don't want to miss a minute of this one.

In this episode, we have a great interview with Linux software developer and ham radio enthusiast from the Czeck Republic, Petr Hlozek - OK2CQR. He is the author of CQRlog and HamQTH.com.
