What Dewayne Said - Amateur Radio Superpowers

I mentioned this video - a presentation by Eben Moglen about “Innovation Under Austerity” in a previous issue of Zero Retries. When I initially mentioned it, I wasn’t aware that my late friend and mentor Dewayne Hendricks WA8DZP had a “cameo” in it. My thanks to Malcom Hendricks for pointing that out. Here is the video, again, queued up (I think…) at 1:18:17 for WA8DZP’s brief pitch for Amateur Radio to an audience that has no idea about Amateur Radio.
