Bryan Beats Rich, Roach Goo, and a Brain-Dead ELD

Bryan actually beats Rich to the call for the first time in show history — and Rich never lives it down. From there it's a full three hours: Rich jacks up a sagging furnace with a pair of house jacks and declares war on an ant invasion, Bryan's ELD takes a total brain fart and knocks him back to paper logs, and the guys work through diesel and grocery prices, government holidays, and a hard debate over a child murder case in the news. On the ham radio side, Rich walks through his new 2m/70cm dipole, a solo 65" TV mount and shack sound upgrade, and the choice between a Moxon and a hex beam for the upcoming contest season. There's RTTY, Morse code, and a tribute to the last of the Navajo code talkers. Bryan lays out his trip to Amarillo to go be a granddad, and the back half covers Rich's comms trailer dreams, a round of AI robocalls, and Bryan's find for Website of the Week.
