McDonald Observatory Visit and Ham Radio News of Paris Attacks
Adam Curry recounts receiving news of the November 2015 Paris attacks via an old-school ham radio while descending from the McDonald Observatory in Texas. Due to a lack of cell service and internet at 7,000 feet, the information arrived through the "freewheelers net" on the 80-meter band. The hosts contrast this analog information gathering with the surreal experience of being off the grid during a major international crisis.
