New Service launched on the ZS-Link Network: "On The Air" Podcast

A new service to users of the ZS-Link Network has just been launched.  This service is an amateur radio podcast brought to you by the ARRL.  The Podcast is called "On The Air". 

ARRL’s On the Air podcast for those just getting started on their amateur radio journey.  This is a podcast posted each month. The podcast is a companion to the new bimonthly On the Air magazine. The podcast is aimed at offering new and beginner-to-intermediate-level radio amateurs a fresh approach to exploring radio communications.

Each On the Air podcast will take a deeper dive into covering the range of amateur radio interests and activities: radio technology, operating, equipment, project building, and emergency communication.  The Podcast is hosted by by QST Editor Steve Ford, WB8IMY.
