  This week's W5KUB.com show (December 22nd) Emmett
  Hohensee, W0QH, the chief engineer of Radiowavz,
  will give us a report on youth activities on the USS Batfish
  submarine, and will discuss setting up antennas.  Joe Eisenberg,
  K0NEB, will be back with us to talk about more kits.
   After this we will open the show up to phone calls and talk to anyone
  who would like to call in. 

   
  Be sure to send
  your FCC related questions to Riley

  Riley retired from the FCC’s Compliance and Information Bureau as Legal
  Adviser for Enforcement Program. He will be answering your questions every
  few weeks on our "Ask Riley" segment

  

  Remember our show is also on international shortwave radio station WBCQ out
  of Monticello, ME on 5110 Khz, Please send a signal report to tom at w5kub.com.

  

  Amateur Radio Roundtable is a live
  weekly amateur radio webcast, held every Tuesday night
  at 8 PM CT (0200 UTC Wednesday) at  W5KUB.com. 
  The show covers a wide range of topics for ham radio operators
  and electronic hobbyists; including balloon launches, satellite, go-kits,
  emergency communications, SDR, digital modes, DXing, home brewing, hamfest
  updates, and more. We also want to grow our shortwave listener base and will
  be including programs that intrest those listeners as well.  Viewers will
  have the opportunity to ask questions via the chat room or telephone. 

  

  Since we changed our main video service to Youtube
  Live, we have had almost zero complaints about buffering or freezing.
  Quality and stability reports  have been great.  Because of
  this, we will stop broadcasting on the back up server each night.  You
  will need to watch on the main server.  If there are ever any problems
  where we lose the main video server, we can quickly turn on the back up feed.
   This will cut down on the double data we have to send out for each
  show.

  

  We need your help.  If you use Twitter, please send out a tweet 15
  minutes before the show or retweet our announcement. I suggest something like
  "live #hamradio show starts in 15 mins on w5kub.com 8 PM CT".
   This should help increase our viewer base.

   

  Towards the end of each show, we provide a link and viewers who have a
  camera, microphone, and a Google+ account, can join the show. Your video and
  audio will be on the webcast.  This part of the show is very informal
  and up to 10 people can join. We talk about anything the viewers want to
  discuss.

  

  We would like to share pictures of your ham shack on the webcast. Send a
  picture of your ham shack with a description and we will feature your shack
  pictures on the show.  In fact, if you give us your permission, your
  shack could be used as the background of that week's webcast!

  

  If you have a specific subject idea for a future show, send an email to tom at w5kub.com.

  

  Forward this
  message to a Friend will
  allow you to share this message with your friends.

  

  If you missed last weeks show, you can watch it here on our Youtube channel.  Our shows are recorded and
  placed on YouTube's W5KUB channel the following day.

  

  Join us for fun and
  interesting discussions!
