    Hi,

    I have seen several videos that were uploaded to YouTube by Ham Radio operators. Some of them were very useful such as programming a particular
    Icom model HT.

    Recently, I uploaded my first video to YouTube, but it had nothing to do with Ham Radio. It was a funny short commercial I made years ago.

    I first uploaded it in .MPG format, but it did NOT play well. I deleted it. I found a list of formats (no .MPG) of videos for YouTube.
    I converted the .MPG video to .WMV. I had NO issues viewing that
    video after I uploaded it to YouTube.

    The reason for this post, incase you plan on uploading your first video
    to YouTube, do NOT upload it as .MPG.

    BTW: To see the video I uploaded, use YouTube's Search and
    search for (without quotes), "Blast Off+John Augustine"
