Twitters! Hamfests! And! Some of the Faces Behind the Voices!

Make a point to download both this week's and last week's This Week. After acouple of TWIAR and TWIARi launch delays, (and you can certainly head on over to http://www.twiar.org/ for the inside skinny on that story) there are two new Random Access Thoughts to tune into and turn on with. Last week's RAT for the week ending May the 9th was the first fresh production from the House of N2FNH for 2009.
.
The topic of note is a Thoughtfully Random Access view of the current hot-to-trot social network Twitter. MNOAOS Zach, along with a quorum of Krasnovs, Marilyn, Cigman and Mother Radio, discuss significant aspects of Twitter in a one-of-kind and time-intensive-to-edit presentation, vocalized in Tweet form and laid out in phrases of less than one hundred and forty characters. Although only about five minutes in length, I worked hard for no money so please download, please listen and please make me happy.
.
For the week ending May the 16th and that's today as I diligently and digitally describe all this, the second brandy new Random Access Thought for 2009 ready to air and is entitled "Springtime is Hamfest Time". The younger Mister Baran and I, along with my cheap forty nine dollar Radio Shack audio cassette recorder, dropped by the East Greenbush Amateur Radio Association's big little hamfest which was held last Saturday in, where else? East Greenbush, New York. A ten or less most wanted list of remarkable characters who made it to the final print, aside from MNOAOS and I included Dennis KB2SBL, Bill W2XOY, John WB2HZT, Sid Wolin, Frank N2FF, Mike KB2VQS, Tony W2BEJ, Woz N2SQO, Frank WB2PUH and Glenn WB2FOB. All these voices, along with a hot, steaming pile of crazy sound effects, make for an enjoyable ten minutes. Speaking of voices, here are a few snapshots of some of the faces behind those voices:
