This is quick update on the release of Episode #013. Everyone who downloaded the episode early may have noticed that the intro music sounded a little strange. Unfortunately that was not a style choice, it was a mistake in exporting the audio from Audacity without resampling the lead-in audio track. The audio files have been fixed and re-uploaded, so those who download it from here on and those who re-download the episode should hear it the way it's supposed to be.

We come to Episode #013 of Linux in the HAM Shack. This one is not for the faint of heart or the triskadecaphobic. Our last couple of episodes have generated a lot of feedback so we spend the first and last segments of the show talking about everyone who sent us comments and answering questions wherever possible. In the middle, we manage to squeeze in some information ham radio and Linux information about getting your radios connecting to your computer for rig control, testing with grig and integrating logging and rig access with fldigi.
We'd like to thank the multitudes we had in the chat room for the live broadcast of Episode #013. It was our best turnout yet with more than 25 participants from all over the world. We'd like to encourage everyone to jump in on the next broadcast, which will be on May 13th at 0100Z. The LHS release schedule is being pushed back a week because I will be out of town at a conference during the first week of May. Thanks again to all our downloaders and everyone who takes the time to send us feedback and questions. There would be no podcast without you.
Note: We had several audio problems attempting to record this episode due to erratic network connectivity. Everything is cleaned up and organized nicely except for one brief audio dropout that could not be recovered. You'll know it when you hear it.

I just noticed that the RSS feed for OGG versions of the podcast did not include the audio file for Episode #012. I just fixed this, so if you're using the RSS for the OGG audio, you may need to update or refresh the feed in order to receive the audio file. Sorry about that.
