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.

@DarkStarPDX: I have the original edited master which is 1080i 16x9 30fps on an external storage G-Drive. If you have an ftp site I can upload it to Ill be happy to oblige.

Hi, I wanted to let you know that the "HQ" video the ARRL has for download is the same resolution as this YouTube video, 720x480 (a.k.a. 480p widescreen). I would love to download a deinterlaced 720p version (1280x720 resolution) of the video but the ARRL says the 480p video is the only one they have. Thanks!

Oh my ears! they are called the "Ham Band" why an earth do people have to resort to wrist slashing country and western music!

GAH!!!! YES! You ran it on a zipit 2:34

[Michael Pechner]

Yes, but why not have all the version in one spot. Makes judging the response easier. Plus the only people who would watch is on the ARRL site are licensed hams. Selling to the sold. When has that ever been a good sales idea?

[Michael Pechner]

Yes, 700K licensies. But don't judge us all by this video. many of use keep up with the times.

[Michael Pechner]

They claim they were not capable of uploading the HD version to you tube. brought to you from the same guys that are doing Digital QST using flash. The platform that does not work on ipad, iphone or the new jelly bean adroid release.

How is she the host when after 2 minutes she is out of the video.
