I was able to download it without problem.

Try Right Clicking on the little box that says ” Audio MP3″ on this post and hit “Save target as” or “Save Link As” .. Depending on what browser you have.

Hope this helps!

This show helped me get my Technician and General on the same day (I listened to last years broadcast). Any idea when the Extra classes will start?

First of all, this is the best podclass I’ve ever taken, and it’s been a huge help to me in my quest to upgrade to General by the end of the summer.

However, I do think there was an error. Question G1C08 (located at 15:43 on the MP3) and it’s subsequent answer explain that the maximum symbol rate permitted for RTTY emissions transmitted on frequency bands below 28MHz is (D) 300 baud. That means 28MHz and up (including the entire 10 meter band) isn’t restricted to 300 baud, but 19.6 kilobaud (right?).

However, question G1C10 (16:56) states the maximum symbol rate permitted for RTTY or data emission transmissions on the 10 meter band is 1200 baud. Does this mean there is a different limit for 10 meters?

Yes, there is a separate limit on 10m for the digital modes. it’s 1200bds. 300 on the bands below 10 and 19.6 kbps on anything above.

Thanks for listening!
