Ham Radio Workbench Podcast

In this episode we meet Sebastian Delmont, KI2D, the author of the wildly popular portable logging software Ham2K PoLo (Portable Logger).  Sebastian has a passion for portable operating and has built a very modern, feature rich logging application that runs on cell phones and tablets.  The application started out focusing on the portable op doing SOTA and POTA.  He has added many features including templates for many contests, operator lookup, location sensitive data look up and more.  Sebastian plans to expand the scope of software offerings to include desktop versions as well in the future.  We had a great time talking with Sebastian as you can tell from the length of the episode.  By the end we felt we just scratch the surface.
