Today i went to my local fry's Electronics store to buy a Roku. Mainly for Netflix as we had Netflix tired up to my daughters WII and i had seen the Roku in use round my mother in laws house and was very surprised by how this little box works, Anyway after hooking mine up to our TV i was playing with it when i see that you can add more channels on it. One of the channels was Twit TV. If your have not heard of this Channel its a neat Geek channel that has all kind of stuff and of course the home for Ham Nation with Bob Heil K9EID. Ham Nation is now into its 29th Episode that started back on May 25th. The 1st Episode had Joe Walsh WB6ACU as guest.
Ham Nation airs live on Twit TV on Tuesdays 9pm est or via the web at http://live.twit.tv/ or later via You tube. This is great as anyone that has a busy scheduled like me can now watch this via Roku at your own time and the comfort of your comfy chair.

2012
Hello Everyone, Well another year closing and a new one about to start. Hard to believe that we are about to start a new year where does the time go?
One thing about the year ahead with the sunspot peak to happen around sometime in 2013, 2012 should have some great time to surf the bands.
So what are your plans for 2012? have you thought about trying something new for the new year a new mode a new band that you may have thought of but never got round to trying like the 902 MHz band. I got into this band early this year and i had passed experience back in the 80's with 900 MHz in the UK with 934 MHz CB that sadly is no longer about but i will go into this band a bit later.
Have you thought about (if not a member) of joining a local club. If your work scheduled is stopping you you can always join some have a monthly news letter that is worth reading plus your giving support for the the repeaters they run if you use them a lot. of course the main association is the ARRL (American Radio League) They where formed back in 1914 and mainly serve the USA.If your in the UK then you will have the RSGB(Radio Society Of Great Britain) this was formed a year early the the ARRL in 1913. These both serve a great curse and both have great magazine that they send out to members every month. The ARRL have the magazine QST while the RSGB have Radcom.
I would like to end this by wishing everyone a very happy near year and i hope 2012 will be a great year to everyone.
Hope to catch you all on the air.
Good DX and be safe
