A seasonal video from Gary Pearce KN4AQ

10/12/2010 • General

A little holiday cheer from ARVN”s KN4AQ.

From YouTube:

“I wrote the poem back in 1996, and recorded an audio version a few years later. In 2009, my friend Don Mercz WA3AYR recorded a Christmas medley on guitar, and I thought it would make a good background for the poem, so I mixed them.

Then I thought “video” (that”s my business, you know). But what could I use to illustrate the poem? Live action? Too complicated. Animation? Too extensive.

How about December QST covers? Most years they have a holiday theme. I asked the publisher, and he said “sure!” But the covers didn”t have quite enough material, so I turned to the ads to fill things out (and contacted all the advertisers that were still in business - most were from before 1960).

So here it is. I hope you enjoy it!”
