HamRadio 360: where it all began

Meet The Host
Cale Nelson - K4CDN
Having spent nearly ten years in FM radio, Cale made a daring leap into podcasting. The "Fo Time Podcast" was born in 2014, a spontaneous decision that would change his trajectory. Cale, a fresh Ham Radio Operator with a thirst for knowledge, sought answers within the realm of podcasting dedicated to his hobby. Episode #50 marked a significant shift, birthing the "HamRadio 360" show under a new identity. As Cale soared to prominence in the industry, he also ventured into launching other related programs over time. Although Cale had to bid farewell to the HamRadio 360 show in 2018 due to familial responsibilities, its legacy endures as one of the era's most captivating and beloved shows.
