KICKER: OUR AULD LANG SYNE-OFF
STEPHEN/ANCHOR: Finally, should old acquaintances be forgot? Not in
amateur radio, where eyeball QSOs, and on-air contacts, always keep us
connected. So, as we begin 2018, let's consider some of the top stories
we connected you with during the past year. Here's Don Wilbanks, AE5DW.
DON: What a year: Dayton Hamvention made its debut in a new location in
Xenia, Ohio. Pilot Brian Lloyd, WB6RQN, circled the globe calling QRZ,
in a tribute to Amelia Earhart. TV's "Last Man Standing" aired its final
sitcom episode about a ham radio family. A bankrupt Radio Shack closed
more than a thousand stores in the U.S. In the UK, Radio Caroline, the
former pirate broadcaster, went legit and got licensed. Radio Australia
ended its shortwave service. In the U.S., the Amateur Radio Parity Act
of 2017 was introduced on Capitol Hill, where it remains stalled. Hams
responded to three major storms during Atlantic hurricane season, as
well as earthquakes and wildfires around the world. Hams also tracked
the first total solar eclipse in more than three decades. Where will
2018 take us? Keep listening - and we'll explore that answer together.
Meanwhile, we wish you, our listeners, a Happy New Year.
For Amateur Radio Newsline I'm Don Wilbanks, AE5DW.
