Our hosts discuss the aircraft tracker know as FlightRadar24. It's a web-based project that is cross platform. The project is also giving away ADS-B equipment to folks who live in areas where ADS-B coverage is sparse. You can also purchase hardware for your own home if you don't qualify for the free stuff.

LHS Episode #107: Sorry for Party Bedrocking

Posted on June 4, 2013 by Russ Woodman

This is the first episode to be recorded since Hamvention back in mid-May. Russ gives his thoughts on the event and tells everyone about the contest that was held there, and also the new one that is being held for all of our listeners. Please get your entries in. You don't want to miss out on winning a Beaglebone Black! An interesting new Linux project that Russ heard about, called Bedrock Linux, came to his attention at Hamvention. The hosts interview the lead developer in the main segment of the program. On top of that, they discuss topics from milk shakes to retirement, announce the show's most famous listener to date and bring back The Badger. You don't want to miss any of this goodness.
