In this episode we meet Paul, KI7ADC, and Raoul, W7RPS, both avid users of the Icom IC-905 VHF/UHF/SHF radio. We talk about what attracted them to operate on the microwave bands and what it took to get their portable stations all set up. Paul and Raoul live in the Portland metro area and have had experience on the ground and mountain topping with the IC-905. They have explored using SSB, FM, D-STAR and ATV modes on 1.2 GHz, 2.4 and 5.6 GHz. If you have ever been interested in moving up the frequency spectrum to the microwave bands, the IC-905 is a very easy way to get up and on the air.

This week we talk about special events. Also what to do after the FCC reopens.

Chelsea Parraga KF0FVJ and John Burwell KI5QKX are calling on the amateur radio community to step up. Representing Amateur Radio Digital Communications (ARDC), they’re actively recruiting new volunteers to help drive the next wave of innovation, education, and technical stewardship in ham radio. Whether you're a seasoned operator, an open-source developer, an educator, or simply someone eager to give back—this is your chance to shape the future. ARDC is a private foundation funding $3–4 million in grants each year—supporting everything from school station buildouts to open-source software development. But money is just part of the picture. The engine behind ARDC’s success is its dedicated volunteers. Chelsea and John describe a wide range of roles now open: from grant reviewers to results evaluators to science communicators. There's also critical work to be done within the 44Net IP address space—protecting resources, advising on technical development, and building community. If you’ve ever wanted to make a difference in ham radio, now’s the time. Apply at www.ardc.net. The commitment varies—from an hour a week to five—so there’s room for all kinds of contributors. The term? One year, with options to stay longer if you’re making an impact. The need is real. The door is open. Get involved. Application Deadline is October 31st so act quickly! Go to this link: https://www.ardc.net/join-ardcs-2026-volunteer-team/ oin the conversation and subscribe to Q5 Worldwide Ham Radio. This episode comes your way with support from Icom—pioneering amateur radio innovation for more than 50 years.
