Welcome to Episode 63 ! I’m excited to kick off this journey with a deep dive into some pressing issues and stories in the amateur radio world, plus how each of us can make a difference when disaster strikes.
In this episode, I discuss:
-
Amateur Radio Operator Conduct — What it means to uphold professionalism, ethics, and responsibility in our communications. We’ll explore what makes good operator behavior, how to deal with conflict or disagreements, and why conduct matters more than ever.
-
The Closing of VE2DX — What this closure tells us about challenges facing repeaters, infrastructure, and ham-radio communities today.
-
Amateur Radio Emergency Preparedness Act (H.R. 1094 / S. 459) — What this proposed legislation would do, how it might affect us, and why it matters for emergency response and resiliency in communications.
-
How to Get Involved with Emergency Preparedness — Practical steps you can take to be ready, stay connected, and contribute when emergencies happen. Whether through training, volunteering, or building local networks, there’s a role for everyone.
If you care about responsible radio operation, advocacy, and stepping up in times of crisis, this episode is for you. Subscribe for future episodes where we’ll explore more topics shaping the amateur radio community and how you can stay informed and active.
