For Episode #361, I joined Martin Butler (M1MRB), Edmund Spicer M0MNG, Ed Durrant DD5LP and Ruth Willet KM4LAO to discuss the following:








Radio France International Splatter “Untenable”. You wouldnt think that a major broadcaster would be guilty of putting out a bad signal, but
apparently Radio France International is living up to its acronym (RFI) and splattering into the ham band.


Amazon Experimenting with Amateur Radio?. In this segment, we talk about a recent experiment by Amazon engineers, using Amazon hardware and software
over an AREDN network, who simulated an emergency communications scenario.


UK Foundation Exam Practical Assessments. One big difference between the
U.S. Tech license and the U.K. Foundation license is that up to now, the
U.K. required license to do something practical like build a kit or tune an antenna. They issued a waiver for licenses issued during the Covid crisis,
but apparently, theyre now eliminating the requirement altogether. Its kind
of a shame, but understandable.


Amateur Radio Volunteers Assist in Major US Cycling Event. This public
service event is notable because it takes place over a 203-mile course, starting in Logan, Utah and ending in Jackson Hole, Wyoming,


Exercise Blue Ham. This exercise is the U.K. version of our Armed Forces
Day Communications Test. Exercise Blue Ham, however, takes place only on
the 60-meter band, which, of course, is shared by the Amateur Radio Service
and the military.


The feature for this episode is High Power Battery Box. Martin, M1MRB
describes how he built a high-power battery box his portable operations.
This new box allows him to operate 100 W when operating portable.
