Listen to this weeks classic rain hamcast.
"Take Nothing for Granted" This is RAIN Hamcast Podcast #86, posted February 18th, 2023; voiced by Will Rogers, K5WLR. One of the notables Hap Holly, KC9RP featured on the RAIN Report during its 29-year run was Riley Hollingsworth, K4ZDH, Special Enforcement Counsel to the Federal Communications Commission. Riley was gracious enough to voice a weekly column on therainreport.com during the mid to late 90's that Hap dubbed "The FCC Enforcement Log with Riley Hollingsworth." Unfortunately there are no known archives of those audio columns. Riley presented a talk during the FCC forum at the 1999 Dayton Hamvention held back then in Trotwood, Ohio. That presentation was aired as a RAIN Report in 2000 originally. The following excerpt from that talk is just as valid today as it was in 1999. RAIN Founder Hap Holly, KC9RP edits and produces this biweekly ham radio hamcast without monetization. Your Pay Pal support and feedback on therainreport.com are appreciated.

The Classic RAIN Ham Cast operates on an annual budget of $500.00, most of which goes to the maintenance of therainreport.com website, internet services, and Windows pc maintenance and upgrade costs. No one connected with the Radio Amateur Information Network or the Classic RAIN Ham Cast receives compensation from or for his/her efforts, and that includes Hap Holly/KC9RP, who was Founder/Producer of the RAIN Report from 1990-2019. Hap recorded the Dayton Hamvention forums annually with help from long-time friend and the man behind the 160 Meter Gateway Radio Newsletter, Vern Jackson/WA0RCR. The RAIN Report archive consists of many excerpts from those Hamvention forum recordings. And the Classic RAIN Ham Cast features previously unreleased ham programming by Hap, who spends some 5 hours producing the biweekly Classic RAIN Ham Cast. Now in the spirit of full disclosure: For a few of the last years of the RAIN Report DARA (the Dayton Amateur Radio Assoc.) And NSRC (the North Shore Radio Club (Highland Park, IL) helped subsidize RAIN. Having said all that, the Radio Amateur Information Network is not a tax deductible or tax exempt organization. All donors will be acknowledged both here and on the Classic RAIN Ham Cast if requested. Hope you can help.

The saying " Rain doesn’t fall the same on all " really proves to be true. How often have you seen it rain in your neighborhood and a few blocks away not a drop has fallen.
If you get the chance, please take a moment to tell a friend or neighbor about this exciting grassroots effort of citizens measuring precipitation right in their own backyards. It's easy to join, takes only five minutes a day and is a fun way to learn about this wonderful natural resource that falls from the sky. Your observations continue to give scientists an ever clearer picture of where and how much precipitation falls throughout our communities.

Rain and other forms of precipitation occur when water accumulates in the clouds and falls to the ground. This occurs due to the water cycle, which continually recycles the water on Earth.
