    Default Weekly Internet Program about Cave Diving?

    I have been enjoying a weekly program on Twit (via my Roku device) called, "Ham-Nation." No, it has nothing to do with the other white meat. It is a talk show done with a couple of hosts connected via skype about amateur radio.

    It made me wonder if someone has considered such an endevor aimed toward cave divers. I know that it is difficult for many of us to meet at some of the national gatherings, but this might be a great way to educate, and connect people from around the world.

    It would be a commitment, but the technology is cheap and if you google Ham-nation, you can see that it's not television quaility... just enjoyable for those interested in the topic.

    Cool. Let me know when you've got it up and running. I'll try and tune in, if I'm not at work or otherwise occupied.

    VE3? Guess I missed that part of your life story, John!

    I'd "tune in" to a cave diving oriented podcast.

    I didn't know you were a ham. Thanks again for the wetsuit.

    Yep I came from Canada and moved to the USA in 1990. I passed the Canadian equivalent of Extra Class Ham ticket way back when I was a teenager in the late 60's. At the time you needed to be able to send and receive morse code at 30 wpm. Not a problem since most of my activity was CW and Phone contesting. Even won a trip to Bermuda one year. That is one of the reasons I have two 90ft self support towers sitting in a barn in PA.

    I wonder just how many cave divers are Ham's? BTW, thanks for the suggestion about the pod divers podcast.
