## Resource

Live Free and Ham goes international! 🇺🇸🌍 In this special episode, Eric, Todd, and Paul join the crew of the European Ham Radio Show to talk about how Live Free and Ham got started—and how it somehow turned into one of the most recognizable voices in the ham radio community. What starts as a simple conversation quickly turns into a full-on ham radio roundtable… and yeah, it goes off the rails (in the best way possible). We dive into: The origin story of Live Free and Ham and how it grew The rise of Parks on the Air (POTA) and why it hooks so many operators The 146.52 / 2-meter simplex challenge and getting people back on the air Differences between the U.S. and European ham radio scenes Wild operating stories—from pileups to DX surprises And then… it gets weird: Ham radio + skydiving contacts from 12,000 feet Portable ops in extreme conditions Travel, DX, and chasing contacts around the world This episode is part ham radio discussion, part origin story, and part pure chaos—with plenty of laughs along the way. If you’ve ever wondered how Live Free and Ham came to be… or what happens when American and European hams get together… This is the episode. ************************************ Support the show: Buy Us a Beer: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/lfhpodcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/LiveFreeandHamPodcast Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100093543540309 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/livefreeandham/ ************* Feedback and Questions!
