Yesterday I went down to Petaluma Ca to visit Leo Laporte's new TWiT studio. Leo had recently taken and passed his Technician and General class Amateur Radio licenses. Leo produces many pod and video cast shows, including a new ham radio show called Ham Nation. Ham Nation is hosted by Bob Heil K9EID, Gordon West WB6NOA and George Thomas W5JDX of Amateur Logic TV. Leo now has a new and old ham radio station in his studio. Icom has provided several new radios, including the top of the line IC-7800. For the older classic equipment there is the mighty Collins 500 watt AM transmitter.

Saturday August 21, Leo hosted an Ham Radio open house. Leo, Bob, Gordon, George and many other hams were there. I came down and met the gang and shot some video.

Enjoy,

Randy

  • Great Video Randy..Glad you got down there to support them... Got to love Leo and the TWIT Crew...

    See your card on the 7800 Monitor.

  • @n3vqh Always handy to carry a few cards in your pocket.

  • That was fun. The wife and I ended up at Stinson Beach that Saturday, but rolled back through Petaluma, but I had left my directions at home. So through your video I got to see what I missed. Thanks.

  • @jturning And, most of us were not monitoring any repeaters to help you.

  • Great to see Leo again. I had not seen him since I used to watch him on TechTV, years ago. Thanks for posting this video. Keep up the great work!!

  • @learning41230 He is a lot of fun to be around.

see all
