Handiham World Podcast for 18 September 2013
Was Radio Camp was too short this year?
We think so, and some of
you do, too. We take surveys to find out what people think, and one thing that
came to the fore this year after the July Radio Camp session was that although
camp was fun and campers really enjoyed the competitive get-on-the-air contest,
there was just not enough time to spend getting everything done. Some campers
felt that the session needed to be longer to make travel from out of state
worthwhile.

Handiham World Podcast for 04 September 2013
Long ago I had a part-time job fixing consumer electronics at a small,
independent retail store. Bill, the store's owner, did a big business
in TV sets and appliances like washing machines and refrigerators. In
those days, TV sets were 100% analog and were failure-prone because of
the less sophisticated design and assembly processes of the day, the use
of high-voltage at the CRT (picture tube), and the limitations of
vacuum tube and semiconductors of the day. So Bill pretty much had to
have a "service department" to repair the TV sets that he sold as well
as sets that he hadn't sold but that might need repair or (hopefully)
replacement with a new set.
