Blending Tech with Passion: The Intersection of Linux and Ham Radio

Live Free and Ham Podcast

Unlock the secrets of blending technology with passion as we welcome special guests Cheryl W5MOO, Russ K5TUX, and Bill from the "Linux in the Ham Shack" podcast. With a unique mix of insights on integrating Linux and amateur radio, this episode promises to enlighten and entertain. Cheryl's unique journey, marked by a persistent nudge from Russ over 25 years to conquer her ham radio license, adds a personal touch to our exploration of how women are carving their space in the male-dominated ham radio community.
Get ready for a rollercoaster of stories as we chart Todd's progress towards his extra class license, offering practical tips and resources for fellow enthusiasts. Paul shares his skydiving adventure, complete with weather woes and a limited-edition t-shirt to mark the event. Meanwhile, a deep dive into nostalgia uncovers a love for scouting and the bonds it forges, perfectly tied into our shared love for parks and radio activities. The camaraderie extends to our tech talk, where a new Panasonic Toughbook becomes a star player in field operations.
From the evolution of Linux to open-source software secrets, we explore the shifting tech landscape with help from our knowledgeable guests. The journey through personal call signs and podcast history infuses humor and warmth, while the transition to Linux for ham radio users promises exciting new horizons. As we close, we invite our ever-supportive community to join the conversation, promising laughter, learning, and a deeper connection to the world of ham radio and Linux.
