HH Promotional Materials

I have neatened up our file area on Face Book. All materials you need to promote Hamshack Hotline in your local area, are there for your printing and distribution pleasure. I cannot stress enough in how serious I am, for others to take the initiative as we the founders of Hamshack Hotline have taken. We need others who are willing to be just as willing to donate their time and money, to go out to hamfests, clubs, NWS, skywarn and any other amateur radio platform, that could benefit by augmenting their communications with Hamshack Hotline.

Hamshack Hotline Needs You!

I am again asking us all to please help pick the torch up and take ownership of your local ham community. To take what we have done here in our local New England area, such as bring Hamshack Hotline to a Regional Hamfest. I would love to have others in our ever growing Hamshack Hotline Community to do the same at your local Hamfests and clubs. We have some materials for promotional reasons in our FB file area. I also am very interested in getting some video promotion going on our YouTube channel. So please any videos of events relating to Hamshack Hotline please send our way. If you need any further info contact us at: [email protected]

Your donations needed, to maintain Hamshack Hotline!

Good morning all as we grow here at Hamshack Hotline and are no longer operating out of closet servers, we now incur monthly costs of operations. Up til now the costs have been out of a few OP’s members pockets. This practice cannot continue. We have over 500 people now using Hamshack Hotline, if everyone who was able to could donate a monthly donation between 1 to 5 dollars, we would have enough to cover all our expenses. Looking forward to your assistance in maintaining the Hamshack Hotline. Ty

Promoting HH in 2019

So the holidays are past us. The New Year is here. It is time to make 2019 another extraordinary year here at Hamshack Hotline Inc.

We need energetic souls just as the founders of HH have, to promote and help build our system in your local area. John Rogers(K1WIZ) recently posted some literature, and David Neal(W2DAN) is updating our Power Point presentation.

I will be uploading these to our FB File area for your viewing and downloading pleasure.

Please help interest others in the Hamshack Hotline, and remember hamshackhotline.com for a reference to our service. 73 KA1EZH Ken

Multiple lines on servers

I would just like to remind folks, there will be no issuing of multiple lines on various servers. All extensions utilizing supported endpoints will be used on HHUS, HHEU, and HHAP. All non supported endpoints will be placed on HHX. All US, Canadian, and Mexican operators will be placed on HHUS, all European on HHEU, and all Asia Pacific on AP. We do this in order to have the most efficient service to you. Also if you already have hardline phone and wish to have a soft phone using Groundwire, you can do so on HHUS, HHEU, or HHAP. The only time you must go to HHX for soft phone is if you do not have an HH hardline phone. Thank you for your attention on this matter.

Reflection/New Year

I would like to reflect on 2018. We started with Johns vision, Dave W2DAN, and myself KA1EZH. It was just a shot in the dark, then we got the backing of another half a dozen like minded individuals who who saw promise in what we were attempting to offer.

We started with a server in a closet, expanded to Europe, and then the cloud. Today I announced server pier in Asia Pacific. Where will 2019 bring us? I thank and continue to ask for your individual word of mouth promotion. We have not just grown from the original three’s vision but from all of our users compliments, criticisms and suggestions.

I am hoping that 2019 will bring us much more fun and growth to the hobby of Amateur Radio and communications, especially here at Hamshack Hotline inc.

I and the entire HHOP’s would like to wish you all a very Happy and Safe New Year! 73 Ken
