Exceptional podcast
I just found this podcast (Feb 2021) and it is exceptional. I listened to 6 hours of it on the first day and learned tons. I wish Cale was still doing the podcast but I'll listen to them all and use them for reference. Best podcast ever.

Definitely Worth Listening
Since it’s for the new Ham or those looking into the hobby, well worth listening to past episodes to learn the jargon, explore what area you’d be interested in, and certainly what to do next. So many questions will be answered. I’ve learned so much from the banter and educated views. While it’s sad to know the end result, still worth a listen.

Perfect show
I started out as a HAM late and unfortunately when Cale ended the show. I am trying to learn as much as I can from his show as a beginner. I’m very grateful for Cale and the guests for the information shared to help us grow in the hobby while at the same time wish I could have participated while the show was going on. Cale thank you and God Bless you on your future endeavors 73 KG5WTX

The Workbench is Awesome
I started listening to Cale before it was renamed to HamRadio 360. He does great interviews. I learn things without to do a bunch of additional research. It's not over my head. I really like the Workbench episodes. It is frequencly over my head, but the give me the foundation to learn it. I made the antenna analyzer and am working on some other projects from them too. These are hams that I would hang out with!

The Workbench series is excellent!
Whether you're new to ham radio or an old timer, George and Jeremy's HamRadio360 Workbench series is excellent. Their conversational question and answer style is easy to follow. The information is accurate and straight forward, but not too much detail. If you're interested learning and building your own projects, I highly recommend this podcast.

Thanks!
Just wanted to send a sincere thanks to the entire crew from the "Ham Radio 360" podcast. I love listening to Cale Nelson as a host! It is common to hear podcasts where the hosts that are experts at their subject matter. It is a breath of fresh air to hear Cale, who is a great host be the "every man" guy in the hobby. I like his I don't know everything but I have a lot of smart friends who do approach! This makes him someone that many people can really relate to. I have an hr drive to and from work each day and it is like he is there for the ride with you. I also really like Jeremy and George. They bring a lot of insight to many parts of the hobby. They also do a great job with the "Workbench" podcast! Thanks for all of your hard work. It is greatly appreciated! From your friend Joe in RI 73 y'all, AC1JB

Great show!
Well worth the time for Hams new and old. Good variety of topics and guests. Excellent production quality too! Even the ad from the sponsor MTC radio is entertaining!

Must Listen
Fantastic podcast. Best in Ham Radio and one of the best I've heard in any genre. If you are a new ham, old ham, thinking about being a ham, or know a ham this podcast will get you excited. An interesting blend of everyman and super-smart techy nerd. You get the feel of having some good buddies who happen to know a lot about ham radio. I am in the car a lot and have listened to all of the HR360 podcasts as well as hundreds of others, so I feel I am a decent judge. It started out great and has only gotten better. The production is very professional, topics interesting and peronalities fun.

Great content
Ham Radio 360 is an informative and entertaining podcast that is well produced and a pleasure to listen to. There's something there for everyone, but I think it is especially useful if you are newer to ham radio.

Very informative-great audio-entertaining
I've been a ham for a few years and Ham Radio 360 (previously Fo Time) is an awesome source of information. Great info for new hams or people contemplating getting their license. Also great info for seasoned hams looking to learn about different aspects of this great hobbie.

I just recently got my license and this podcast is perfect for me. Ive noticed its really hard for new millennial hams who were not grandfathered into the hobby to understand all aspects of the hobby. well this podcast is our saving grace. Fo Time has done an awesome job at breaking stuff down and presenting new ideas to young hams. My only complaint is that this podcast keeps making me want to buy stuff. - 73

This is the best Ham podcast out there! I know because I am a podcast junkie and I am always on the look out for new ones. I started listening to Cale about two months ago and I was so hooked I downloaded all of his podcasts on my phone and now I'm caught up!! Love the format, love the host and how he seems like an old friend immediately, great guests and awesome information. You keep podcasting Cale and I'll keep listening! 73!

Fo Time! Podcast
As a fairly new General Amateur operator I enjoy Cale's podcasts. Cale is General Class operator, he constantly learning and sharing what he learns. Cale relates to the amateurs as they explore the hobby, especially the Technician and General Class operators. Cale is brings numerous speakers that know fields that he is weak in or interest of others. Cale goal is not to compete with the other ham radio podcasts out there, but provide a niche within conjunction to other podcasters. Thanks Cale for doing a super job as we all explore our hobby!

Great podcast, a must listen for Ham's
Cale puts on a great production. Always the best production values. Good info and enjoyable. I’d recommend to all my HAM friends.

My fave!
This is my favorite ham radio show. Cale is an host who knows how to contribute to the discussion, and also stay out of the way of his guests. Some hosts prattle on, seemingly in love with their own voices. That doesn't happen with Fo Time. No cheese, no whine. Informative, well-paced, helpful, down-to-earth. I recommend it to ham buddies when we chat in person, or in QSOs.

Best Ham Radio Podcast!
This podcast has renewed my interest in Ham Radio. The interviews are awesome and the topics are always educational.

Glad I found it!
I am new to ham radio and am interested in all aspects of the hobby. This is a great podcast, Cale admits that he isn’t the expert but he has great guests who are. I’m glad he posts links and information on his website and in the show notes that allow me to go back and look up the information that was discussed. I started listening to a few of the newer episodes and then I’ve gone back to episode one and I’m listening to them all. Keep up the good work Cale! I’ve got a lot to learn!

Great Show
I've gone back and listened to every show. There is a lot on information here. I wish I had more money to buy the ham gear that they talk about. Keep up the good work Cale. 73 W0CAF

Excellent Podcast
Very well put together podcast. Informative and entertaining but keeps the topics from going over your head. I'm new to Ham Radio but I've been interested in it for more than 20 years. Thanks to this show and the way they present their content my curiosity has been sparked again and I'm studying to test later this month. Thanks for all your hard work putting this podcast together. Job well done.
Krookedfeather
Very Informative
I recommend this podcast for those that are new to amature radio and are looking to understand their new hooby. Kale does not come off as a know it all but is able to articulate what he knows and finds those that have the knowledge in the subjects where he is interested in learnig. I listened to one of the episodes at randome and was hooked. Go ahead and listen to all the episodes from the begining, you won't be dissapointed. 73 - nh6td

Extremely Relevant to my Interests!!!!!
As a Ham Radio Operator in my mid 30's, I am extremely interested in portable and depolyable types of options. My go box was built several years ago based on ideas taken from Cale's and other boxes on a well known forum. However, until this podcast, I was unable to find any Ham radio podcast's with content that was able to hold my interests. I am currrently studying for general and trying to fill in the gaps surrounding my limited understanding of HF and the multitude of other options out there that are available to us. Cale has already filled in a lot of holes in my knowledge and the content continues to be VERY relevant for me. Keep up the good work and I'm glad to have finally found some content from an operator whose mindset appears to be foundationally the same as my own. There is so much more one could say, but the ratings speak for themselves. This podcast is AWESOME!!

Great Podcast for Ham Radio!
I will be taking my Tech license exam in a few days, and this podcast has been excellent in hearing about things that are just touched in the exam books (Repeaters, Equipment, etc…). Both addresses questions of us newbies and also has technical education that is presented well - thanks, Cale and crew!!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!
As a new Ham (02/23/15) your podcast has been my inspiration. I never dreamed there was so much to amateur radio until I began listening to Fo Time. Your podcast has answered so many of my questions. Great Host, great Guests!

Love this podcast!
Cale does a great job with the production quality on this podcast. It's accessible to beginners (of which I am one) and raises awareness of different ways to operate. Thanks for the great work!

Great for new hams
This is a great podcast for new hams. It's not overly technical and the content is current and relevant. Episodes are a good length, not too long and overly redundant or too short and lacking in info. The audio quality is good for an amateur production, although some background noises creep in such as Skype sound effects that need to be turned off. But the content for somebody like me who has just recently gotten more into the hobby is good. The voice of the host is easy to listen to and audio levels are ok without harsh sibilance or plosives, at least when listening through a set of LG Tone ear buds.

Good ham radio podcast for beginners and preppers
Want to thank you as your podcast is family friendly, good info for beginning and more advanced hams, and preppers. As a General Class radio operator the episode on APRS really explained other uses for the system that I didn’t know or think about. Keep up the good work fella we need more podcast like yours. :)

Newish podcast but really worth the listen
This podcast is fairly new, but I'm really enjoying listening to the episodes. The two go box episodes were pretty good and the latest with the creator of the mobilinkd tnc was more my taste, but all have been well done and informative. Thanks Cale for the other ham radio podcast! :)

Well presented Podcast
I have tried the other Podcasts and they are not as well presented as this one is. The pace and the topics are interesting for both new and old Hams. From the first show there was no beating around the bush, just good content.
Older New Ham
Great Show!
A great podcast for those that are new to Ham radio. Cale is the guy next door you want to drink a beer with. Great show!

Excellent amateur radio podcast
One of my favorites podcasts. Topics covered are broad, guest speakers are knowledgable, and there's something here for a radio operator at any level of skill and experience. Thanks for the great work. 73 de N0XOC.

Good info for new hams
In short, this podcast has plenty of good information for new hams. As a new ham myself (4 months at the time of this review), it is helpful to be introduced to different parts of this vast hobby that I might not have heard about otherwise. The majority of the information I have about ham radio has come from the three levels of the ARRL license manuals. While I think that the license manuals are great for an introducation to ham radio and preparation for examination, now that I have my license, the real learning begins. This is where Fo Time comes in. I've spent some time surfing the web and reading forums, of which the best I've found is on ARFCOM, which lead me to Fo Time. I find Fo Time interesting because it rehashes some of the good info I've found on the web and it also introduces me to new and interesting things that I hadn't been aware of previously. The host and guests are entertaining and intelligent and the podcast has good production value. I've enjoyed all of the episodes that I've listend to so far.
