When Ham Radio, Real Life, and Podcast Chaos Collide
<p>Live Free and Ham is changing things up… but don’t panic, nobody threw the radio in the dumpster. Yet.</p><p>In this episode, Eric N1JUR, Paul N1OG, and Todd W1STJ sit down for a real update on the future of the show. Todd shares why he’ll be taking a bit of a pause from regular episodes while life, work, family, baseball, and everything else pile up like a badly packed go-box. The crew also talks about shifting Live Free and Ham from a weekly schedule to every other week for the summer so the show stays fun, sustainable, and actually worth listening to.</p><p>Because let’s be honest: forcing content just to keep a schedule is how you end up with bad audio, dead batteries, three confused hams, and a podcast episode that becomes a hostage situation.</p><p>We also dig into the latest community updates, including Winlink messages, listener voicemails, the 5-2 Simplex Challenge, POTA Academy, NEAR-Fest chaos, technician license questions, ham radio wins, and the usual amount of technology fighting back.</p><p>This one is part announcement, part community check-in, part therapy session, and part reminder that ham radio is supposed to be fun.</p><p>If you’ve been following Live Free and Ham for a while, this is an episode you’ll want to catch. The show is evolving, the community is still going strong, and yes… the wheels are still mostly attached.</p><p>Join the conversation, leave us a voicemail, hop into the Discord, and let us know what you want to hear in future episodes.</p><p>************************************</p><p>Support the show:</p><p>Buy Us a Beer: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.buymeacoffee.com/lfhpodcast">https://www.buymeacoffee.com/lfhpodcast</a></p><p>Patreon: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.patreon.com/LiveFreeandHamPodcast">https://www.patreon.com/LiveFreeandHamPodcast</a></p><p>Facebook: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100093543540309">https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100093543540309</a></p><p>Instagram: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.instagram.com/livefreeandham/">https://www.instagram.com/livefreeandham/</a></p><p>************* Feedback and Questions! </p><p>You can always leave us feedback on our voicemail line at 978-233-1142</p><p>Affiliate:</p><p>Live Free and Ham - 10% off all LFH Swag CODE: LFH10</p><p>Reliance Antennas - 10% off and free shipping at <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.relianceantennas.com/">https://www.relianceantennas.com/</a> CODE: LIVEFREEANDHAM</p><p>Halibut Electronics - 10% discount on all purchases <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://electronics.halibut.com/">https://electronics.halibut.com/</a> of $25 or more, limited to three uses per listener.

Airborne Activations & Daily Grind: How Far Is Too Far in POTA?
<p>What happens when Parks on the Air turns from a hobby… into a daily mission?</p><p>In this episode of Live Free and Ham, Eric (N1JUR), Paul (N1OG), and Todd (W1STJ) sit down with special guest Keith (AC1RH) to talk about one of the most unique (and slightly insane) approaches to POTA we’ve seen yet—activating parks every single day.</p><p>But that’s not all…</p><p>We dive deep into aeronautical mobile operations, the real challenges of logging contacts while in motion (and sometimes feeling it 🤢), and what it actually takes to stay consistent in a hobby that’s supposed to be… you know… relaxing.</p><p>This one goes beyond gear and contacts—it’s about mindset, discipline, and maybe just a little bit of obsession.</p><p>🔥 In this episode:</p><p>What aeronautical mobile really looks like in practice</p><p>The chaos of logging while moving (and why it’s harder than it sounds)</p><p>The reality behind daily POTA activations</p><p>When consistency becomes commitment… or addiction</p><p>Tips, lessons learned, and a few “don’t try this while driving” moments</p><p>************************************</p><p>Support the show:</p><p>Buy Us a Beer: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.buymeacoffee.com/lfhpodcast">https://www.buymeacoffee.com/lfhpodcast</a></p><p>Patreon: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.patreon.com/LiveFreeandHamPodcast">https://www.patreon.com/LiveFreeandHamPodcast</a></p><p>Facebook: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100093543540309">https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100093543540309</a></p><p>Instagram: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.instagram.com/livefreeandham/">https://www.instagram.com/livefreeandham/</a></p><p>************* Feedback and Questions! </p><p>You can always leave us feedback on our voicemail line at 978-233-1142</p><p>Affiliate:</p><p>Live Free and Ham - 10% off all LFH Swag CODE: LFH10</p><p>Reliance Antennas - 10% off and free shipping at <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.relianceantennas.com/">https://www.relianceantennas.com/</a> CODE: LIVEFREEANDHAM</p><p>Halibut Electronics - 10% discount on all purchases <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://electronics.halibut.com/">https://electronics.halibut.com/</a> of $25 or more, limited to three uses per listener.
