Here'a a bunch of articles and videos I've created over the years. I've been fortunate to have the ARRL/QST ask me to review radios for the past few years. Before that, I had a column in CQ VHF, and I was the editor (and often writer) for the SERA Repeater Journal. This stuff's all free!

If you've come here thru a web link, I'd like to invite you to take a look at the DVD videos I've produced as ARVN. Some are "documentary" style programs that make good club meeting programs. Others are forums and seminars, usually too long for a club meeiting, so better suited for individual viewing.

	Tone, to Go (PDF Download). You probably use tone squelch in your VHF/UHF FM radio all the time. But what is it, why is it, and how does it work? And how does it not work?  This is from my FM column in the Summer 2008 CQ VHF magazine.  I retain the copyright, and you're welcome to distribute and reprint this article.
A Ham's Night Before Christmas	A little holiday cheer, written (or ripped off) way back in 1996. And here's the audio version, recorded by the "author."
Anatomy of an Incursion (pdf)	Riley Hollingsworth sent a warning letter to a truck driver in my area, after some local hams monitored him operating on 28.085 MHz.  I tracked him down and interviewed him. Then I visited a local CB shop that he referred me to and talked to them about some of the radios you'll find on the market.  This story was printed in the SERA Repeater Journal in 2001. You are welcome to reprint and distribute the PDF.
Crossband Repeating  (pdf)	Crossband Repeat is a handy function built into many dual-band VHF/UHF radios. At first, it can be a difficult concept to grasp, and doing it "wrong" can cause some problems. I've seen some terrible articles trying to explain the ins and outs of crossband repeat. Here's another one, this time written by me. This story was printed in the SERA Repeater Journal in 2001. You are welcome to reprint and distribute the PDF.
Field Day/All Night Long (video)	This is a "home movie" video of the Raleigh Amateur Radio Society Field Day in 1997. It was shot on Hi-8, dubbed to Betacam and edited on Avid Media Composer. The overnight segment is cut to the Eagle's All Night Long. Because of the copyrighted music, I couldn't do anything with it except show it to the club, until YouTube came along. The link will take you to my non-ARVN YouTube channel, KN4AQ2.
	Blind Cat Video is my little production company for non-ham radio video. I've also got some more demos of my professional production and voice-over. Yes, there is more to life than ham radio, and it keeps getting in the way.
2005 Field Day/ Hurricane Katrina Video Interviews	I was interviewed by local media twice in 2005. The first was a studio sit-down at Time Warner Cable's News14 Carolina, promoting Field Day. The second was a "local" take on ham radio as Hurricane Katrina devistated New Orleans. I've added a recording of actual ham radio communictions into New Orleans to the end of that interview. This is on my YouTube channel KN4AQ2.
