KICKER: COFFEE-LOVING HAM WORKS JAVA BUT IT'S NOT DX

STEPHEN/ANCHOR: OK, grab a cup of hot coffee for this week's final story. 
Sit back, and let's listen to Randy Sly, W4XJ.

RANDY: For many of us there's nothing better than working DX or calling CQ 
in a contest while sipping on a fresh hot cup of coffee. But what if that 
coffee was known as "Ham Shack House Blend," "Key Up Cowboy," or "Morse 
Code Mocha?"

Steve Eilers, W3BIZ, believes we can have our ham radio and drink it too! 
Early in 2023, Steve began the Homebrew Coffee Company, combining his love 
for coffee with his love for ham radio. This coffee is not someone else's 
brand that he re-labeled, but his own original coffee blends that are 
roasted and shipped the same day -- no matter the propagation. He is an 
entrepreneur who takes his business seriously:

STEVE: "We source our beans from Bali, Peru, Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, you 
name it… Ethically sourced beans, fair trade - that's a huge thing for me, 
is to make sure we're doing it right. These people are getting compensated 
for their farms and everything's fair."

RANDY: His blends are made to resonate with a variety of tastes, from a 
donut shop style to a dark Italian roast or something with a french 
vanilla or mocha flavor. All these and more await you at homebrewcoffee.com.

When he's not making coffee, you can find Steve hunting POTA, chasing DX, 
rag chewing or operating SKYWARN and ARES in Kent County, Michigan -- and 
of course, drinking coffee.

This is Randy Sly, W4XJ.
