LHS Episode #211: The Weekender IV
Welcome to the fourth edition of The Weekender version of Linux in the Ham Shack. In this episode, the hosts discuss the best cheese in the world, how "terrific" the podcast is, a young and complex single-malt Scotch, Hamvention 2018, W5MOO upgrading to General Class and much more. They even threw in a great old(ish) song by Paul and Storm. Hope you enjoy and have a great weekend!
