About the YouTube Edition

So much good stuff… on YouTube! I’m now subscribed to… a number of… Zero Retries Interesting YouTube channels. With that, YouTube’s recommendation algorithms have homed in on my preferences for viewing Zero Retries Interesting content such as “Data / Packet Radio via DMR”, that I wouldn’t have otherwise known about. One downside to this is that if I view a YouTube video on a channel that I’m not subscribed to (such as “andy kirby”, then I never see that video again, so I have to capture it immediately. Having captured it, best to share it via Zero Retries.

These ten eleven videos and YouTube channels below are representative of what I watch on YouTube when I have some downtime and I can passively consume content. If this “YouTube Edition” works, it may become a regular addition to the growing Zero Retries “media family”.

HB9BLA Wireless

The HB9BLA Wireless YouTube channel by Andreas Spiess HB9BLA is one of four that I consider consistently Zero Retries Interesting to promote in every issue of Zero Retries. HB9BLA doesn’t post often (months can go by) but when he does, it’s worth watching. The video below is what drew my attention to this channel.
