Bob Heil called me - excited that they have completed the new studio/station
used for the TWiT Ham Nation show.
While there's not enough time to get it formally listed in the special
events section of the ARRL website, we wanted you to know about this effort.
The Ham Nation show has continued to grow and is pulling in not just hams,
but a wide variety of technical-minded folks.
Here's Bob's information....  please share as you can.

opening of the TWIT.TV<http://twit.tv/> Studios in Petaluma, Ca.
