ARRL's new On the Air podcast for those just getting started on their amateur radio journey, will debut this Thursday, January 16, with a new podcast posted each month. The podcast is a companion to the new bimonthly On the Air[1] magazine, which is already on its way to member subscribers. On the Air magazine editor Becky Schoenfeld, W1BXY, will be the host of the new podcast. Both the podcast and the magazine are aimed at offering new and beginner-to-intermediate-level radio amateurs a fresh approach to exploring radio communication.

Listeners can find the On the Air podcast at Blubrry[2], Apple iTunes[3] (or by using your iPhone or iPad podcast app (search for On the Air), and Stitcher[4] (or through the free Stitcher app for iOS, Kindle, or Android devices). Episodes[5] will be archived on the ARRL website.

Each On the Air podcast will take a deeper dive into the articles and issues raised in the magazine, including advice and insight on topics covering the range of amateur radio interests and activities: radio technology, operating, equipment, project building, and emergency communication.

Supplementing On the Air will be a new Facebook page[6] for those who share a love of radio communication and are looking to learn and explore more about their interests.

The biweekly Eclectic Tech podcast for experienced radio amateurs will launch on February 13. Hosted by QST Editor Steve Ford, WB8IMY, Eclectic Tech will highlight topics involving amateur and non-amateur technology, offer brief interviews with individuals involved in projects of interest to amateurs, and include practical information of immediate benefit to today's hams. Eclectic Tech will be available via iTunes[7] and Stitcher[8].

The ARRL Mags apps including QST and On the Air are now live on Apple iTunes and Google Play. The digital edition[9] of On the Air magazine is now live and linked from the On the Air page on the ARRL website.ÿ ÿ
