  On this week's Amateur Radio Roundtable
  show (December 29th) Emmett Hohensee, W0QH, the chief engineer of Radiowavz, will discuss how to
  prepare for a storm and what to do after severe
weather. Joe Eisenberg, K0NEB, will be back with us to show another kit.
  Tom, W5KUB, will also show the progress of his
homebrew 40 meter transceiver on this show and future shows.   This is a
  very easy homebrew project and should cost less than $40. After these
  segments, we will open up the show to phone calls and talk to anyone who
  would like to call in. Let's hear about your ham radio Christmas presents.

    
  Be sure to send
  your FCC related questions to Riley Hollingsworth, K4ZDH,
  to AskRiley at w5kub.com.
  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 interest those listeners as well.  Viewers will have the
opportunity to ask questions via the chat room or telephone. 

  

  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.

  are recorded and placed on YouTube's W5KUB channel the following day.
