Youtube live event on Radio Contesting

Amateur Radio is taking me to many areas of learning. Recently, i have been elected to Amateur Radio Society of India as a GC member and then got requested to play Contest Manager role there.

I believe in learning and sharing the knowledge all the time. Thought of reaching VU hams via newer mediums such as Youtube live events. I attempted first live event today at my following: Amateur Radio Channel :

It took good amount of hours (probably 25 hrs over 3-4 weeks  to collect materials, format slides, record and edit all necessary elements.

Software used:

1. Videopad for editing
2. OBS for streaming
3. QSOOrder (connected to N1MM during contests) for sound clips
4. Bensound.com for sound track

What I gained? - many friends in ham world and learning of new techniques in the process.

Cheers!
