ARRL on The Weather Channel

ARRL® The National Association for Amateur Radio® joined The Weather Channel on Thursday, July 11, 2024, for a live chat about the value of amateur radio during hurricane season and beyond. ARRL’s Bob Inderbitzen, NQ1R, talked about how radio helps inform the warning process through surface observations relayed through the Hurricane Watch Net and other nets to WX4NHC, the amateur radio station at the National Hurricane Center.
Viewers were told how local ARRL volunteers serve their local agencies through the Amateur Radio Emergency Service® (ARES®) and how they could get licensed through ARRL materials and become a part of it.

I thought you did a great job, however, I really wish you would’ve corrected her on the “old technology “comment. You could’ve brought up digital communications satellites, etc.

Some of the applications used in amateur radio will not run on newer systems unless you are running a virtual operating program. Some applications are 16 bit based and not 32 bit based... some of the applications are also dos based. Win 95, 98, 2000 and some xp systems will accommodate those applications.

@@traveller-nl oh I went into computers. A now deleted video was me messing with my Gen 4 iMac when I was like 14. Now mess with my win 98 pc but I don’t really do YT or records as much anymore :) I’m more of a rip enjoyer than a ripper now.

@@KY4TRK cool. A buddy of mine was talking about running an irc chat via short wave, wonder if that kind of tech could run on win 98 lol
