- Where are the 2011-2014 podcasts?
You mention going back to the beginning. I can’t as it seems to only start at 2015. I am really enjoying these short little overs, but I am a total newbie so would like to hear the beginning!

Podcast Addict54 years agothesavo- Relevant if you are a F-call or not.
I had found this series sitting among the bigger Amateur Radio podcasts and I didn’t know what would be covered here in less than 5 minutes per episode. The bite sized episodes helped to put a perspective to this new hobby and as a recently licensed operator, I’m able to connect to all the points mentioned in this series. Thank you Onno. 73s, Sandip EI7IJB.
