I am looking for some volunteers to step up to the plate for the ARRL Boxboro Hamvention, Boxboro MA. Friday Sept 6th(12pm-5PM), 7th(8AM-5PM), and 8th(8AM-12PM). David KD4CLJ definitely will need assistance for set up Friday morning. The usual characters Ken(KA1EZH), John(K1WIZ), and Dave(W2DAN) all are working Friday. So please lets make this a team effort, would love to see some faces we haven’t met here in the New England area yet. Please let me know if you can help us with this exhibit.

Ok I would like to update everyone with happenings here at HH. Some of you may not know, but recently one of our VOIP partners the “Guild” disbanded, along with one of its biggest contributors Jason W4JMF to it and HamShack Hotline. Jason was gracious enough to support HHEU over the past year. So with this being said we are asking if all users of HH, might be willing to donate $1.50 a month on a reoccurring basis. Of course one time donations are also welcomed. We need to be able to be able to pay for US, AP, and EU instances on the cloud monthly, we are looking forward to your support. Thanks Ken

Well its been a long time since I have put a post up here. Unfortunately life and family have been at the forefront for the last several months, and that is where I needed to be. So with that now past me, I would like to once again ask those in the Ham community to promote Hamshack Hotline. We are entering into our Fall Ham Fest time, and we will be setting up a demo at the Boxboro Hamvention in September, in Boxboro Massachusetts. So please tell a friend about us and go to www.hamshackhotline.com

David KD4CLJ has kindly created a shared link, that enables you to have the updated RF Links, Audio Feeds, and Conference bridges as they are added to Hamshack Hotline.

So I have been pretty silent as of late and apologize, but have been dealing with some family matters. Now that they are as in order as they gonna be its time to talk up HH! I was pretty pumped this past Tuesday as I mentioned earlier in the week, when I presented to my local radio club. We need all of you the end users of Hamshack Hotline, to promote amongst each other not just we the founders. So please when ever you have the chance to bring Hamshack Hotline to a group of Hams please use all the materials found in the file section our FB page. Ty and 73

Despite the rainy cool weather up in NH this weekend I want to send a very sincere thank you to David Bodman KD4CLJ. He not only weathered the elements at NEARFEST, but put a good amount of time into an awesome demo table and creation of a new brochure for Hamshack Hotline.

So are you a trustee of a BM DMR repeater? If so why don’t you add the Hamshack Hotline TG 31688 to it?

We are in the beginning of the very busy Ham Convention and Flea Market season. I continue to encourage the impromptu demo’s many of you have been bringing to these events, its you the end user of Hamshack Hotline who are our greatest promotional point to the Amateur Radio Community. Remember too, pictures and videos of your promotional efforts of Hamshack Hotline are wanted.

Been really excited about the energy many of you are bringing to local Flea’s and Hamfests. I truly believe that our success of growth among the Ham community, is a result of the great demonstrations and word of mouth promoting. Again most materials you need are found on our FB page, in the files area. I am also looking for pictures and videos of these events.

So it is spring time, and we all are starting to get the itch to get out of the house. We all want to work on our shacks and antenna systems. What better way to pass ideas back and forth, than on Hamshack Hotline and our Mattermost platform. I have created and Radio and RF projects chat room. I would ask that folks please use this resource, and Hamshack Hotline to pass ideas around. Also what I continue to long for are folks looking to maybe have discussions on different topics whether it be on emergency communications, Skywarn, PBX, or radio and RF oriented subjects. I believe if we could start having scheduled topic conferences, it can further enhance the purpose of the Hamshack Hotline. If anyone is interested in covering a topic please direct message me here, or on Mattermost. Thanks Ken
