Jeff KE9V had mentioned in email that he had completed major changes planned for the LDE (Long Delayed Echos) Podcasts, with all of his attention now focused on new projects.

He has started a really cool project started where he will be doing a series of Audio Book versions of books now out of copyright.

Jeff KE9V has wrapped up the LDE Blog after four years of posting, and the website is down.

Some content is available through web-cache services like Archive.org

A number of pages came up on the search: http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://ke9v.net

Jeff is an outstanding writer and speaker, so hopefully his new projects will soon see the light of day!

Thank you Jeff KE9V for the LDE Blog & Podcast as inspirations.

READS

K9YA Telegraph eNewsletter - http://www.k9ya.org/k9ya_telegraph1.htm

The K9YA Telegraph is wonderful pdf based monthly newsletter that as a (free) subscriber you receive a download link & instructions each month.  I alwasy find something interesting in this one!

Ward Silver N0AX Edits this fantastic bi-weekly emailed newsletter. Targetted for both “active and casual contesters” the Rate Sheet has enough high quality content to make it a newsletter most amateurs would enjoy reading.  You can download copies from the ARRL website or subscribe. 

LISTENS

KE9V Long Delayed Echos (LDE) - http://ke9v.net/

I’ve long been a fan of LDE enjoying the way Jeff KE9V makes Amateur Radio come alive.  For 2008 Jeff KE9V is significantly revamping his podcast offering, adding audio books and videos.  He’s mentioned a May target date for some of the newest of his projects to appear.  Watch his site for news!

TWIAR (This Week in Amateur Radio) - http://twiar.org/

Another long time K9ZW favorite listen, TWIAR is a tremendous “all around” podcast available in various flavors (International & Domestic versions that can be rebroadcast and ones with music that by FCC rules cannot be played on amateur bands).  Numerous ways to subscribe or download the weekly show.  Well worth the effort!

Handiham Podcast - http://handiham.org/

You usually will find a slice of this Podcast included in TWAIR, and if you like what you hear you can subscribe to the full Handiham Podcast from a link off the Handiham main webpage.  Though targeted to Handicapped Radio Amateurs and those who Elmer them, the podcasts are really well done and have something for everyone!

ARRL Audio Newsletter - http://www.arrl.org/arrlletter/audio/

This excellent audio newsletter has a huge number of options - you can download it, subscribe as a podcast, listen to the current issue over the telephone or get the written text version!  Always something interesting in this one!

I’ve only touched on the first handful that come to mind - the Amateur Radio community is full of creative people who really do effectively communicate!!  (Figures, right!!??!)

In a week or so I’ll touch on my favorite Paid Subscription “Reads & Listens.”  Please add your favorite free suggestions by adding a comment!
