Brittany KF8IJZ received an Arduino kit with many sensors and addons for Christmas and is starting to get familiar with the microcontroller and its capabilities. Mark KR6ZY joins us to answer the fundamental question of “What is Arduino?” We talk through some fundamentals and some practical examples of projects one can complete with an Arduino compatible microcontroller.

Randy K7AGE of YouTube fame recently moved in to a new home on the coast of Oregon and had the enviable problem of outfitting his space for Ham Radio and Workbench activities. This week, he joins us to talk about building his workbench as well as how to shop Ham Fests for great deals on test equipment.

Brittany KE8LCA is back to continue our “Tech in Technician Discussion where we explain concepts from the Amateur Radio Technician Exam in practical terms. We also talk about our ham radio goals for 2019 and answer listener questions about Ham Radio topics. Finally, we discuss the processes and equipment used by us to produce the Ham Radio Workbench podcast.

We are proud to announce that Jeremy’s Wife Brittany, Mrs. IJZ, is now KE8LCA! She has already filed a vanity application for KF8IJZ. She joins us this week to talk through some questions from the current Technician question pool around electronics and antenna characteristics. This is also our final show of calendar year 2018. Thank you each and every one of our listeners for making the show possible through your support and engagement. We look forward to a great 2019!
We are very sorry to share that Dave Shoaf, KG6IRW, from Elecraft, who was our guest on the RF Power Amplifier episode (https://www.hamradioworkbench.com/podcast/hf-amplifiers), passed away. Dave was a very experienced and knowledgeable ham and a great guest. Our thoughts are with Dave’s family and our friends at Elecraft.

It started as a normal episode - We invited Rod Hardman VA3ON and John Jacobs W7DBO (of the Field Radio Podcast) on to talk Holiday Shopping for Hams - one of our most favorite episodes to do each year. During this session, we showed no restraint whatsoever because we were at the 4 hour mark when we stopped recording! While we know you generally like long episodes, we thought we’d split this one into two parts. In part 2, we cover Ham Radio accessories and gifts for your Workbench.

Bernie Nazari K6NAZ has been a ham for just under two years, but has already been bitten by the building bug. Recently he’s shared two projects in our Facebook group that combine Arduino compatible Adafruit Feather boards and 3D Printing to add to his ham radio fun. Bernie joins us today to talk about his remote Pi-Star hot spot display and controller as well has his approach for building a remotely controlled linked dipole an>ntenna.

George KJ6VU is away at Pacificon so Nick KN6NK stops by to deep dive on Solar Power fundamentals. We talk about understanding your power requirements, sizing your batteries, and how to factor your solar production needs. We also talk about solar charge controllers to tie it all together. Jeremy KF7IJZ also gives a basic overview of Ubiquiti Unifi networking equipment.

Most of us have several devices connected to the Internet in our Ham Shacks. A computer, a digital mode hotspot, and a Raspberry Pi are several common items one would find. We may not give much thought to these devices because affordable commercially available equipment make it a breeze to connect devices to each other and the Internet. But, have you ever stopped to think whether your hotspot should have network access to the computer you do your taxes on? This week Nick KN6NK and Smitty KR6ZY join us to give an introduction to basic networking topics and a primer on basic but powerful practices to secure our networks in the ham shack and beyond.
