written by Matt Stultz, KB3TAN, that will appear in the
March, June, September and December issues of the magazine.

worldwide do-it-yourself phenomenon among mostly younger,
tech-savvy individuals who enjoy hands-on tinkering and
experimenting with electronics, crafts and similar projects.
Many "makers" are not familiar with amateur radio, even

DIY RADIO NEWS: MULTIPLE LANGUAGE VERSIONS OF THE DIY MAGIC
OF AMATEUR RADIO
And speaking of the maker and hacker communities, while it's
not even been out a month, there appear to be several groups
that have either asked permission to translate the ARRL's
new the DIY Magic of Amateur Radio video into other
languages or are already undertaking such a project.
Since its release last December 27th, word is that versions
with either sub titles or over-dubbed audio are being
prepared by individuals or groups around the globe in the
Spanish, Portugese and possibly even Russian languages. And
these are the ones that are known about.
Also, Tom Medlin who hosted the December 27th release of the
video on his W5KUB website has made available some
statistics. These show that the new video had viewers in
Canada, Venezuela, Mexico, Argentina, France, Cayman
Islands, Puerto Rico and New Zealand as well as across the
United States.
Those who have not yet seen the new video can do so on-line
on YouTube in English at tinyurl.com/arrl-diy-movie. You
can also watch it or download it at www.arrl.org/DIY.
