Trevor Holyoak, KD7GHI, grew up in a house full of homemade gadgets that
his dad made including clocks, a TV, and radios. He learned basic
electronics from him, and practiced on a 150-in-one kit from Radio
Shack. "I watched him do CW and string wire antennas across the yard, and
so I was aware of ham radio at a young age," he said. "He built our first
home computer, a Sinclair ZX81, from a kit and that got me started down a
path that I'm still on today." Holyoak is a professional computer
programmer and began creating Android apps on the side a few years ago. "I
got the idea to create the Ham Radio Podcasts app because I had already
built a couple of other podcast apps for specific interests, and I
discovered that there are a bunch of great amateur radio podcasts out
there," said Holyoak. "I put them all together in an app that makes it easy
to listen to them. You can stream the episodes as you listen, or you can
download them and listen to them later when you don't have a data
connection."
