Ham Church: Wizards, Widows, and Warning Systems with KD5W

Welcome to Ham Church! This week, Jim and Freddie Mac are joined by special guest Danny (KD5W) to unpack his new app, ChronAlert. We're finding out exactly what it takes to turn your shack into a local-first situational awareness operations center. Once the dashboards are running, we are scraping the bottom of the weekly ham radio internet barrel to discuss: A completely unhinged r/HamRadio thought experiment on how to charge a two-way radio after being teleported 500 years into the past by a clumsy wizard. A tragic r/amateurradio club crisis where a new club president can't get local operators to leave their houses even when food trucks are involved. QRZ's coverage of the "Ham Widows Ball"—an exclusive event built on a hundred-dollar start that you are explicitly uninvited to. Grab a beverage, jump into the live chat, and let us know what you would do with a dead battery in the 1500s. Can't stop the signal.
