PODCAST: This Week in Amateur Radio SPECIAL BONUS AUDIO - AJ8B Interview with ARRL CEO NA2AA With permission from the "DX Mentor" Bill Salyers, AJ8B, we are proud to present his interview with ARRL CEO David Minster. This is from Episode 63 of "The DX Mentor". You can visit Bill's Youtube channel at https://www.youtube.com/@thedxmentor and be sure to like/subscribe to his channel to get notified of future episodes. You can watch the video on Youtube here: https://youtu.be/yxWD-qI2DJM?si=TRK4mHSFsQt7ZpuP Send Bill an email at "thedxmentor" at gmail Facebook: facebook.com/thedxmentor About the DX Mentor: The purpose of The DX Mentor channel is to provide a way to recruit, educate, and retain amateurs who have some level of interest in DX. Whether it is a passing interest in chasing DX, someone who is fully invested in chasing DX but needs the “next level” of information to continue their journey, or those amateurs that are interested in DX and want to learn more on a broad array of topics, we want to help them all along the journey. The format of these videos is a little different than other amateur radio channels for several reasons. First, it is not a host waxing philosophically about their personal experiences. The host will play the role of mediator ensuring that the topic is addressed while allowing flexibility for the guests to share experiences and knowledge. The host is the DX Mentor, not the DX Guru!

On this summertime edition of CASCADE OF HISTORY, we present audio from "Evergreen Radio: LIVE," a special event focused on the past, present and especially the future of radio in the Pacific Northwest. In this archival panel discussion, a group of radio professionals from around Washington weigh in on where the medium had been and where it was headed in 2015. Panelists include Ricardo Garcia of Radio Cadena; Jeff Hansen of KUOW; Tom Mara of KEXP; LPFM advocate Sabrina Roach; Dave Ross of KIRO Newsradio; and Kerry Swanson of NW Public Radio. The event was co-produced by CASCADE OF HISTORY producer/host Feliks Banel and Olivia Weitz. It was taped before a live audience at the Richland, WA campus of Washington State University on April 25, 2015 - Ed Murrow's birthday - and was a project of the Edward R. Murrow College, with financial support from Humanities Washington. This episode of CASCADE OF HISTORY was originally broadcast at 8pm Pacific Time on Sunday, September 1, 2024 via SPACE 101.1 FM and streaming live via space101fm.org from studios at historic Magnuson Park – formerly Sand Point Naval Air Station - on the shores of Lake Washington in Seattle.

Carolyn Harding with Elaine Robertson and Bryn Bird, concerned citizens working to protect their rural communities next to the mega Intel microchip fabrication industrial buildup in New Albany, Ohio. Elaine Robertson is a founding member of the citizen's action group, Clean Air and Water for Alexandria and St. Albans township. She and about a dozen residents formed the group in 2023 in response to two proposed asphalt plants- one on each end of the town - only 1 mile apart. Due to their effort, in part, neither asphalt plant has permission to operate. Some of the Clean Air and Water for Alexandria and St. Albans Township volunteers have begun working with the CHIPS Communities United with a goal to bring responsible and equitable implementation of the CHIPS Act. The alliance includes labor, environmental, social justice, civil rights, and community organizations representing millions of workers and community members nationwide. Elaine currently teaches elementary music for Columbus City Schools Bryn Bird hails from a dirt road outside of Granville, Ohio growing up on her family's produce farm. After an undergrad at Miami University, she finished her masters degree in public health from The George Washington University. Bryn spent her early career as an epidemiologist working at the Navy and Marine Corp Public Health Center before organizing at Rural Coalition and Rural Organizing. Bryn spearheaded the development of the Canal Market District and Enterprise Hub. Bryn was elected Granville Township Trustee in 2018 and re-elected in 2021. Her passion for just and equitable rural policymaking stems, not only from her own experiences as a family farmer, but the desire for all rural Americans to thrive. She serves on the Board of the Ohio Farmers Union, Buckeye Valley Family YMCA and Rural Organizing. She is co-owner of her family's farm supporting the marketing and direct sale of produce through local markets, CSA's and wholesale accounts. Bryn and her husband Brian are also the proud parents of three daughters 10, 8, and 5! Bryn is currently a candidate for Licking County Commissioner on the November 5th ballot. It's an election year and President Joe Biden (D), Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown (D) and Governor Mike DeWine (R) are All In with the Intel mega industrial build outs. And according to a March 20, 2024 Reuters news article - “Intel is planning a $100-billion spending spree across four U.S. states to build and expand factories after securing $19.5 billion in federal grants and loans.... The centerpiece of Intel's five-year spending plan is turning empty fields near Columbus, Ohio, into what CEO Pat Gelsinger described to reporters on Tuesday as "the largest AI chip manufacturing site in the world", starting as soon as 2027.”” You both live in communities that comprise these “empty fields near columbus” - Tell us what's going on in your communities, regarding Intel.

Carolyn Harding with Judge Terri Jamison, candidate for the Ohio Supreme Court. Judge Terri Jamison began her work history in social work with the West Virginia Department of Welfare. She became a trailblazer when she was one of few women to join the United Mine Workers of America. She moved to Columbus, Ohio when mass layoffs shut the mines down. As a single parent, she worked a variety of jobs before becoming a small business owner for more than 16 years. She became a nontraditional student at Columbus State Community College, ultimately graduating cum laude from Franklin University with a Bachelor of Science degree. She enrolled in Capital University Law School where she obtained her juris doctor degree. As an attorney, she stood beside families in crisis, not corporations, representing them in various courts around Ohio and in U. S. District Court, in administrative hearings, and later being hired to preside over unemployment compensation claims. She comes to this campaign with more than a decade as a judge, having served on the Franklin County Court Domestic Relations and Juvenile Branch, and now on the Court of Appeals, Tenth District. Judge Jamison has often been quoted, “when the law is not on your side, you deserve to be heard, treated with dignity and respect.” Welcome to GrassRoot Ohio. When everyday folk go to the polls, most voters have an idea of who the candidates are, what party they represent, and if they are engaged, they have some idea of the candidates' platforms. But even engaged voters, get a bit overwhelmed when it comes to judges. There are usually many judges on the ballot - and very few opportunities to hear what each candidate hopes to bring to the table. Ohio early voting started Feb 21 and primary election day is March 19, and my hope is that each voter does their own due diligence for all the candidates on their ballot, and this November- All Ohioans will vote for the open seat on the Ohio Supreme Court. www.votejudgejamison.com GrassRoot Ohio - Conversations with everyday people working on important issues, here in Columbus and all around Ohio.

Carolyn Harding with Jolene Strieter, trans woman, founder & CEO of the non-profit advocacy organization,Trans Humanity. Jolene Strieter (She/Her/Hers/Ladywoman) please share your bio with our listeners. “From my earliest memories, I always knew I was created uniquely and wonderfully different. The hidden secret was... I am a Girl. I grew up with great inner turmoil between two worlds, on one side The Far-Right Evangelical Church led by religious zealots bent on narcissistic control of my life. On the other hand, a hidden life of discovering my True Identity knowing I was different than what society's black and white binary viewpoints had attempted to control my life to be, and I struggled greatly.... Eventually publicly coming out at age 18 I went through the chutes and ladders of life from being alienated by my own family and outcasted as a recluse, institutionalized, abandoned driven to Cleveland Ohio's homeless shelter by my own father, demon exorcised, attending Conversion Therapy in the deep south of the United States and even drugged up, molested and raped. My upbringings became almost an impossible nightmare where I grew up house hopping from partner to partner just to try to find some security unfortunately never having done so and greatly unprepared for life. I was torn between The Religious Control of my Transphobic upbringing and independently setting a new course for my destiny away from the burden of bigotry and regret. So, I purged and detransitioned to promote Conversion Therapy for 5 years as a poster child for detransitioners. Afterwards having stumbled upon undeniable fact which validates Transgender and Gender Variant Identity I re-transitioned at age 33 at the tail end of 2020. Today I advocate because of the undeniable truth I have found and have established Trans Humanity to promote the equality of all genders. I believe we're on the verge of a mass New Renaissance in the transgender world and since Felicity Huffman, Jenner, Jaz and Bono Transgender exposure has gone mainstream this has become a verge of success for so many. I would like to see what the future holds in store for us all.” We first met at the Ohio statehouse on January 24, 2024, the day the Ohio Senate Voted to overrule Governor Mike DeWine's Veto of HB68, which, according to the Ohio Capital Journal, will block gender-affirming care for trans youth and prevent transgender athletes from playing women's sports. The bill prohibits transgender youth from starting hormone therapy and puberty blockers…. Gender-affirming care is supported by every major medical organization in the United States. Talk about HB 68 and how it will impact Ohio trans girls/boys and their families?

Carolyn Harding with Jaelle Terrell, a Ohioan trans writer and humorist who is currently living in Akron with her chosen family. Excerpts from her novel "The Tales of Victoria" can be found at www.statestreetnews.com. On January 24, 2024, the Ohio Senate Voted to overrule Governor Mike DeWine's Veto of HB68, which will, according to the Ohio Capital Journal, "block gender-affirming care for trans youth and prevent transgender athletes from playing women's sports. The bill prohibits transgender youth from starting hormone therapy and puberty blockers…. and Gender-affirming care is supported by every major medical organization in the United States. Children's hospitals across Ohio, the Ohio Children's Hospital Association, and the Ohio Academy of Family Physicians all opposed HB 68.

We heard the myopic statements of State Sen. Kristina Roegner, R-Hudson, “There are men and there are women and there are boys and there are girls and they are different…Gender is not fluid. There is no such thing as a gender spectrum....” And they passed HB 68, 24-8. It will go into affect, likely on April 23, 2024. And here you are Jaelle.... talk about your experience that day.

Carolyn Harding with visual artist/activist Andrea Bowers and Lauren Leving, curator at Cleveland Museum of Contemporary Art, or commonly called moCa. On December 21, 2023, Andrea, you posted on Face Book, “A line from the Lake Erie bill of rights will be shining over Lake Erie on the science center across from the rock and roll hall of fame!” with photos and video clip from the installation of your work of Art, which is now hundreds of feet high installed on the Great Lakes Science Center, next to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in downtown, Cleveland, Ohio. Congratulations! That's a big and very public work of Art. Let's Talk about this huge Glowing Sign that says “Lake Erie has the Right to Exist, Flourish and Naturally Evolve” in Red, Green, Blue and Yellow Neon. Ohio-raised Andrea Bowers is a Los Angeles-based artist who has been recording and amplifying the work of activists present and past for more than two decades. Her multi-media practice includes drawing, video, sculpture, and installation work that foregrounds the experience of the people who dedicate their time and energy to the struggle for gender, racial, environmental, labor, and immigration justice and those who are directly affected by systemic inequality. Over time, her different bodies of work have become a document of the changing language, prerogatives, and dynamics of social justice movements. In 2021, a major mid-career survey of Bowers's work curated by Michael Darling and Connie Butler opened at the MCA Chicago and traveled to the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles in 2022. Other recent solo exhibitions include Grief and Hope, Museum Abteiberg, Mönchengladbach, Germany and Light and Gravity, Weserburg Museum für moderne Kunst, Bremen, Germany. In September 2022, Bowers opened a solo exhibition including both new and existing work at the Galleria d'Arte Moderna di Milano as part of an exhibition program organized by the Fondazione Furla. Bowers is represented by Vielmetter Los Angeles, Andrew Kreps Gallery, Kaufmann Repetto, and Jessica Silverman Gallery. Lauren Leving (she/her) is a curator and writer based in Chicago, IL and Cleveland, OH. Her work explores how creative practice can expand institutionally-rooted understandings of access. Currently, she is Curator-at-Large at the Museum of Contemporary Art (moCa) Cleveland; Associate Curator for the Orange County Museum of Art's 2024 California Biennial; and Co-Curator of Everlasting Plastics, originally presented in the U.S. Pavilion during the 2023 Venice Architecture Biennale. Since joining moCa in 2019, Leving has organized projects including the Getting to Know You residency, which supported the production of Messages to Authorities (Go Away!), a largescale textile commission by Aram Han Sifuentes and Don't mind if I do, a group exhibition stewarded by Finnegan Shannon. She holds an MA in Museum & Exhibition Studies from the University of Illinois–Chicago and a BA from Tulane University. https://www.mocacleveland.org/exhibitions/andrea-bowers-exist-fourish-evolve Celdf.org GrassRoot Ohio - Conversations with everyday people working on important issues, here in Columbus and all around Ohio.
