Chronicles of a Ham Radio Operator - Ep 33

In this episode of The RedMars Podcast, I share more of my ham radio journey as I’m learning the ropes. I talk about a wild moment when the International Space Station (ISS) was rotated 180 degrees after a Russian Soyuz spacecraft fired its thrusters—proving once again how critical communication is, and how ham radio has even played a role in space safety. I also share some updates from my own radio life, like realizing I needed a programming cable to set up my handhelds (rookie mistake, but we’ve all been there!). Join me as I explore the ups and downs of getting started in amateur radio, from space stories to practical lessons, all while keeping it real.
