(Copied from Lobby) k1wiz-john – “in continued preparation of my move, I will be dismantling my home network which means that the following audio feeds I’m hosting will be unavailable until I reconnect in our new home sometime in early July. The feeds affected are: 7000, 7002, 7003, 7005, and 7006 “

Gee finally after just about 4 years we now have over 1000 folks here on Facebook page. Let’s keep growing with more extensions, and more Facebook members. Also let’s not forget our Mattermost platform, remember that’s where a lot more information is past, between each other in everything that is Ham or PBX. Our FB page is literally our advertising method. Thank You again for being part of the Ham Shack Hotline.

All we are currently looking for a few individuals, that might be able to help process some of our help tickets?
If you have previous VOIP, PBX, Asterix, and Networking experience please message me and I will forward your information to our HHOPS team.
Looking forward to hearing from you

So any new projects going on out there? I would think with the stay at home orders pretty much world wide, there must be something new in the world of amateur radio or VOIP land. Bring us your ideas here on FB and Mattermost.We all could use something to do and explore, as I don’t know about you im going stir crazy caged in the house.

Just wanted to post this evening. How we all doing with our social distancing? Hope this post finds you all well, with that being said, I am hoping that we are finding ways to use HH to assist in communications during these extreme circumstances in your area? If not for anything a way to break the boredom of self quarantining. I would l love to hear how you all are doing and how HH or things associated with HH are helping you through this National Emergency?

So I am hoping this post finds you all healthy with all this COVID-19 Pandemic stuff going on?

I wanted to take this time to let you know that if any of your organizations, EOC’s need any assistance in augmenting your radio communications for the COVID-19 Pandemic, to please contact us via our helpdesk.

I would also like to hear from you to hear if your organization used HH, and how it helped your communications situation in this current Pandemic.

Again I hope we all fair this situation well, 73

Good evening all just thought I would post something, as its been awhile. I have seen a lot of activity on here, and a lot of you doing in person and video presentations to local Radio clubs.

We ask that as you become more familiar with our services, and like what you see and hear that you would take lead in your local area and promote the Hamshack Hotline. 

Your efforts are really paying off, in just over two years we have gone from about 4 local lines here in MA and RI, to almost 1600 extensions world wide!

We are coming into Spring when many folks start having Hamfests, and Radio Conventions. We would love you to promote our service to the Ham community. If your should need any help please reach out to us here at HH.

Thank You for your continued support!

EmComm Training on ARES Public Conference 367 The ARRL’s course, EC-001: Introduction to Emergency Communications for Radio Amateurs, has long been conducted with mentors to give feedback to the student. To make the course available to as many people as possible, a new self-study edition without mentors, EC-001-S, has been created. The course is free to all amateurs. Membership in the ARRL is not required. You do need to create a free account at the ARRL web site to sign up. The ARES Public conference at extension 367 is hosting open chat evenings every Tuesday and Friday—US time zones—for amateurs working through the course. These meetings are informal chats intended to add back some of the value of feedback and discussion the course has traditionally had. Graduates of EC-001 and amateurs with long experience in EmComm are encouraged to come share what they’ve learned, too. Amateurs may enroll in the course at https://www.arrl.org/online-course-enrollment/17. For more information on the Public ARES conference, come visit us at Hamshack Hotline extension 367 or contact Ross Bennett at Hamshack Hotline 4972.

Well its been a few months since I have added anything here. Still trying to get my Mojo back, after the Holidays and my wife’s passing.

I see that even in my absence we continue to add lines. I still really would like all of you to continue to pick the ball up, and keep running with it. Telling fellow Hams in your local area about the Hamshack Hotline.

I would ask that we continue to be creative in our use of HH and help others learn PBX systems and such. When there are local conventions, Hamfests step up and have a booth, and show our service. Show others how it benefits you individually, and or your Radio Organization.

Also remember the ability to add your local RF link to an HH extension via Astrix.

Hope to hear more of you on wishing all a prosperous 2020.
