1
00:00:13,749 --> 00:00:11,749
you know ham radio is surprisingly

2
00:00:15,749 --> 00:00:13,759
impactful and i say it surprisingly

3
00:00:18,070 --> 00:00:15,759
because you sort of feel like it's only

4
00:00:19,590 --> 00:00:18,080
uh you know it's a small amount of

5
00:00:20,390 --> 00:00:19,600
training and all the training that you

6
00:00:21,830 --> 00:00:20,400
do

7
00:00:23,750 --> 00:00:21,840
um and

8
00:00:25,029 --> 00:00:23,760
you're told a little bit about it and

9
00:00:27,109 --> 00:00:25,039
it's like i got a whole bunch of things

10
00:00:29,109 --> 00:00:27,119
to do i might do a spacewalk i might do

11
00:00:30,950 --> 00:00:29,119
you know grab a visiting vehicle for the

12
00:00:32,790 --> 00:00:30,960
first time like do i really have time

13
00:00:35,510 --> 00:00:32,800
for this and it's five minutes on your

14
00:00:36,950 --> 00:00:35,520
schedule and we would just zip down fly

15
00:00:39,830 --> 00:00:36,960
down to the russian segment turn the

16
00:00:41,510 --> 00:00:39,840
radio on and then start talking to a

17
00:00:44,229 --> 00:00:41,520
group of people and it sounds like only

18
00:00:46,630 --> 00:00:44,239
ten kids and sometimes the radio clarity

19
00:00:48,229 --> 00:00:46,640
is not great just because of the fact

20
00:00:49,590 --> 00:00:48,239
that you are working on ham radio

21
00:00:51,750 --> 00:00:49,600
sometimes it's super clear if you're

22
00:00:53,189 --> 00:00:51,760
right over them um and so you have the

23
00:00:55,430 --> 00:00:53,199
questions a little bit beforehand just

24
00:00:56,950 --> 00:00:55,440
to help you a little bit through it um

25
00:00:59,910 --> 00:00:56,960
and so you go through it and then you

26
00:01:02,310 --> 00:00:59,920
get a report about how many people were

27
00:01:04,710 --> 00:01:02,320
at that event and how long and how much

28
00:01:06,630 --> 00:01:04,720
preparation those kids took to actually

29
00:01:08,469 --> 00:01:06,640
understand ham radio and work with it

30
00:01:09,750 --> 00:01:08,479
and i felt myself getting choked up

31
00:01:11,910 --> 00:01:09,760
every time i would read one of those

32
00:01:13,910 --> 00:01:11,920
reports and and i was like oh my god
