You already know my passion about Elmering in the amateur radio community.  I would like to ask a personal favor from all who listen to the Practical Amateur Radio Podcast or visit MyAmateurRadio.com....this favor is to please visit the Ignite Detroit website and VOTE for K8DJK (Andrew).  Andrew has a wonderful opportunity to Elmer to over 200 people at an upcoming presentation during Ignite Detroit. 

If selected, Andrew will present a very brief presentation about amateur radio.  He'll only have a few minutes to deliver his presentation...but again, he'll have the opportunity to deliver this content to over 200 people. 

Elmering is more than just teaching a fellow ham about amateur radio.  Elmering is also about introducing those who may not know anything about amateur radio to our wonderful hobby.  Andrew has an opportunity to serve as an ambassador of our wonderful hobby and expose it to a large audience. 

The hardest part of Andrew's journey is being selected by Ignite Detroit.  This is where you come in.  The favor I'm asking each of you to do is to VOTE.  Please visit this link and vote.  You can actually cast up to three votes, so please give all three votes to Andrew.  It only takes a few minutes.  You can login with a Twitter or Facebook account.  It is easy...it is fast.  If we come together as a group and help support one of our fellow amateurs, I know we can get Andrew selected. 

Please vote...please vote now.

Podcast Number 34
- Podcast ver. 34.3 - January 31, 2010 (27.4 MB, runtime 29:59)
In our first episode of 2010, we review New Years Resolutions discussed back in January 2009. I provide an update on my status of those resolutions
and briefly discuss plans I have in 2010. 

I also discuss attitudes in amateur radio.  Do some hams look down on others because they don't or can't operate HF?  We discuss the, "You're not a
real ham unless you _____________" way of thinking.  While it is good to motivate new hams to upgrade and try new modes, it might not be
possible for all to rush out and buy a new HF rig.  I share ideas of helping to motivate those that only have VHF/UHF rigs get the most out of the hobby. 

As always, thank you for listening and thank you for telling your friends about the podcast.
