The Story is the Key

I was a big podcast fan before I started creating the QSO Today podcast. I love “on demand” Internet audio programs that are now available as podcasts on just about any subject. The time flies by when I am stuck in traffic while listening to my favorite podcasts and I don’t really care how long I have to sit in traffic, I just go with the flow. Combined with the WAZE application, my stress from driving just melts away. What I most appreciate about these programs are the stories that people tell which help us all realize how much we have in common, how we are connected to one another and how important it is to help one another through the trial and tribulations of life.

My guest this week is Frank Donovan, W3LPL, who has a great ham radio story to tell as you will hear in episode 122. As a ham for over 50 years, Frank’s story is based on the support of his Elmers and amateur radio clubs. When a tornado went through his super station antenna field last June, a freak of nature, it was through his relationships with his ham community that he was able to quickly rebuild his broken antenna farm to be on the air before the Fall contests. This is a great story and an example of the kind of podcast stories that I like to listen to every week. What I discover from doing these interviews is that we all have stories to tell that fascinate and interest others.
