Free to watch... not free to make
HamRadioNow is brought to you by you. The show is viewer supported, or as one of our critics put it, we're asking you to pay for Gary's vacations.
OK, as of February 2018, it's not Gary anymore. It's David's baby now. Arvin is sticking with the show, and moving to Los Angeles. He's very excited about it. He says he'll miss Gary, Cyndi and all the cats (but David has cat too)... And as of April 2022, Gary’s back. But the show is still owned by David (Gary doesn’t act like it). And it turns out that Arvin has a twin brother, also named Arvin. He’s still living with Gary and Cyndi in their newish home in South Carolina (in the shadow of Charlotte)
And yeah, we didn’t make very many shows for a while. But Gary’s back (with his new call sign) and we’re starting to crank them out again. Er… we’re crafting the finest Amateur Radio video programing you can find on the web at a sustainable pace.
We appreciate your continued support. We have always put the money back into the show, paying for web hosting, Internet, hardware (cameras, mics, computers) and software (Wirecast, Premiere, Audition, Photoshop).
Here's how:
Patreon is an independent service designed to let you easily fund people who create stuff you like: music, art, podcasts... With Patreon, you make a monthly contribution of any amount you choose. It's easy to sign up, easy to change, and easy to cancel. Patreon will charge your contribution to your credit card around the 1st of each month.
Stop by the HamRadioNow Patreon page. You can see how many contributors we have, and how much we're raking in each month (how's that vacation plan looking, Gary?). How much should you contribute? Our mantra is 'Whatever it's worth to you,' but we'll get specific to get you started: A buck a month is awesome! We just did the math on a recent month and the average was $3. That's very generous, and we're grateful that some of you like us enough to do that. But if you're just warming up to the contribution thing, really, a buck a month is plenty.
PayPal (one time) contribution... If you like what I am doing, and want to make a one time donation, you can send me money securely via PalPay

What happened to the ARVN DVDs?
Well... they're gone. All available shows are now online.
