The DIY Magic of Amateur Radio in HD

ARRL's new video, "The DIY Magic of Amateur Radio," is an 8-minute video that follows some of the innovative, imaginative and fun ways "hams" use radio technology in new and creative ways. The presentation is directed toward the DIY (do it yourself) movement, which is inspiring a new generation of creators, hackers and innovators. The message should be helpful for existing members to shape the ways they understand and talk about ham radio.

Great until that lame song at the end.

480 is SD... not HD.

It sure is - right under everyones noses!

@burpleson -- ain't that the truth? Have you seen the video that goes with it? You think the song is lame, wait until you see them bozos in tux and tophat on top of a tower singing it...

I like Bob Heil but what in the world is he wearing? It looks like a cross between a NASCAR driver race suit gone wrong and some type of jet ski jacket leisure wear. Oh dear...

I respect Bob Heil with his immense knowledge and innovative products but this choice of fashion is a train wreck..think modern day Herb Tarlek garb!

Didn't realize ham radio was still popular.

@mpechner PS: The link to the 720P version is available on the ARRL's website.

@mpechner I shot and edited the show 1080i. The output file from the AVID Symphony HD is 1080i from which the 720P distribution DVD's were made. The 720P file is available for free download from the ARRL website. The 1080i file is simply to large to make available except on Blu Ray and there will likely be no requests for it. The 1080i file exists only on a pair of G-Drives one of which is at arms length from where Im seated. Here on YouTube the ARRL posted 480.
