ARRL Audio News is short, weekly podcast hosted by ARRL’s Sean Kutzko (KX9X) and Carla Pereira (KC1HSX). The podcast is a summary of the week’s top news stories in the Amateur Radio community, along with special interviews, extended programs, and other features. This week’s podcast largely centers on hurricane relief efforts along the Texas Gulf Coast hit by Hurricane Harvey and throughout Florida, which suffered severe damage from Hurricane Irma. The podcast contains no music or advertisements and is suitable for amateur radio repeater networks.
