LHS Episode #025: APRS and Xastir
Richard and I have been busy over the last couple of weeks. He spent a day at the Belton Hamfest near Waco, Texas on October 3rd. The weekend before that, I spent a few days in Columbus, Ohio at Ohio Linux Fest. This is our first episode back from those events. I have a few hours of audio I need to sift through, but I managed to get a couple of clips from my interviews and commentary from OLF included in the second segment of this episode of the podcast. Because I had a visit from my parents and my brother and sister-in-law from New Hampshire, I haven't been able to get the podcast out in a timely manner. I suppose after 25 releases, I should probably stop apologizing for being late but I do like it when we release on time. Anyway, enjoy our interviews and Richard's discourse on APRS and Xastir, and stay tuned for a lot of great audio from our live endeavors coming up in future episodes. Thanks for downloading, and have a great couple of weeks.

OLF Raffle Winners
First, let me send out a big thank you to everyone who went to Ohio Linux Fest this past weekend. It was great to see everyone there, and to meet all those who stopped by the Linux in the HAM Shack booth on Saturday. I'd like to announce the winners of the raffle we held. We had close to 100 entrants, and more than triple that stopped by to say hello and ask us about Linux, the podcast and ham radio. I'm only sorry we could only have five winners. But don't despair, there will be more Linux in the HAM Shack swag available in the near future.
So without further delay, here are the winners in no particular order:
- E. Wahl
- P. Farris
- J. Wolfe
- T.Picray
- J. Garrett
I will be sending out e-mails shortly to get the mailing addresses for those winners who haven't already provided them. After that, you should be receiving your prizes in the mail.
Thanks to the Ohio Linux Fest staff for a great experience, and thanks again to all the conference goers for making it a fantastic time. We hope to see everyone next year.
LHS Episode #024: Darth Hideous
LHS Episode #024: Darth Hideous
In this latest installment of Linux in the HAM Shack, we air the second half of our interview with Bill, KA9WKA, from Episode #022. While the first part of the interview focused on Linux Mint and EeePC netbooks, this part is mostly about amateur radio, answering questions from the chat room and generally having a good time. In fact, it's like a good old fashioned ragchew.
Not ones to leave out actual content and learning, we address questions from listener feedback, and Richard talks about using rig control software under WINE for Icom, Yaesu and Kenwood radios. And of course there are other topics thrown into the mix as well. Thank you to all of our listeners, old and new, for downloading this latest episode. Please tell all your friends about us and send us feedback, whether by e-mail, forum or voice mail. Hope to see everyone in Belton, TX on October 3rd or in Columbus, OH from September 25-27.
And may the force be with you.
