/This weekend, for the first time in nearly 14 years the ICQ Amateur / Ham Radio Podcast had a failure in the release of the fortnightly audio podcast show.
Since the weekend, we have worked with our partner to understand the issues that have arisen. Our publishing partner are resolving the issue, and a work around was used to push the show to your preferred podcast applications.
I am happy to report the work being carried out should resolve the issue for our next show. These commitments to our partnership are warming as the most important thing for all connected to the show is the regular availability of each episode.

We hope you forgive this delay and enjoy the episode. Your support and friendship is vitally important to all at the ICQPodcast
