Ultimate Guide to Ham Shack Hotline Success 

Thanks, I’ve heard of this before but didn’t know much about it.

I love HS hotline, but it is what you make it. HINT: if you need a state, country, county or Grid for an award? Go to the users phone book online and search users in that state, county, country etc. You then start calling those Hams. I just start at the top of the list and call extensions until someone answers. I introduce myself and explain I need there country etc. I ask if they have 15 minutes to help. If yes, I invite them to a band/frequency and I call them and get that QSO. Sometimes it may require skipping to another band, but it’s always ended with a great outcome. Not only do you get what you need, but you have a new contact. WIN/WIN. For this alone it’s worth it. PS: pay no attention to anyone suggesting you stay away over internal politics. That’s nothing to do with any of us end users. Our only job is to have fun. Let others fight. 😊

I have a phone up and running and have for a while. Not sure that it's taken off yet, but if you build it, they will come, even if it takes a while. I have never heard of hams over IP. I look forward to hearing more.

Thanks for the Video! I'll have mine going soon! Is there a way to get regular landline too while still using hamshack hotline?

Good info😊

When shopping, ask the seller if they can enter the Network Setup (and see the options within that menu) without it asking for a password. Just because a phone was *reset* and doesn’t have a password, does not mean it is actually unlocked.

Over a year of service I never found a use for it. Dusted off the phone and sold it. Lots of inside political drama with the folks that run it too.
