ARKANSAS CASE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yF2QH8Ca_0Y&t=406sIn some areas, emergency managers are quietly pulling away from amateur radio — not because radios don’t work, but because liability and trust matter.In this video, we talk about why some emergency managers reject ham radio volunteers, how overstepping authority and blurred lines damage credibility, and why a few high-profile incidents can affect entire ARES, RACES, and Skywarn programs.We also reference a publicly discussed case involving alleged impersonation-like behavior, including emergency lighting, badges, and claimed affiliations — not to assign guilt, but to explain how emergency managers perceive risk.This video is not anti-volunteer.It’s pro-professionalism.Topics include:• Why emergency managers think in terms of liability• How appearance and behavior matter• Why impersonation concerns shut doors fast• The difference between visibility and authority• Why Skywarn often retains trust• How amateur radio can protect its seat at the table🌍 Series sponsor: World Radio LeagueWorld Radio League is logging and analytics software for amateur radio operators — helping visualize real, on-air activity across regions and modes.💥 10% off with code HamShackTV🎓 Want to get licensed or upgrade the right way?👉 https://www.HamRadioPrep.com/?rfsn=8909481.efd9c78💥 10% off with code HamShackTV at checkout(Money-back guarantee if you don’t pass — see site for details.)— Josh, AA4WXLive, Learn, Transmit.🎙 SUPPORT THE CHANNEL & JOIN THE COMMUNITY!🛒 Shop My Amazon Linkhttps://geni.us/HSTVAmazon***Gigaparts***Radios, Antennas, Coax, Power Supplies, 3D Printers, and More!Go to Gigaparts.com and Earn 2x Rewards point when using discound code HamShackTV at checkout.📻 Get Your Ham Radio License the Easy WayHam Radio Prep makes it simple — save 10% with code HamShackTVhttps://HamRadioPrep.com🌍 Join World Radio LeagueTrack QSOs like a pro — 10% off Paid Memberships with HAMSHACKTVhttps://app.worldradioleague.com/?via=joshABR Industries (COAX AND CONNECTORS)https://abrind.com/?sld=hamshacktvUse coupon code hamshacktv10 at checkout for 10% off👉 Buy your SEEED T1000 here: https://www.seeedstudio.com/SenseCAP-Card-Tracker-T1000-E-for-Meshtastic-p-5913.html🔌 Digirig InterfaceYour all-in-one digital rig solution — plug in and get on the air fast:https://digirig.net/p/8/🖥️ Intehill Monitors for POTA & MoreCrystal-clear portable displays perfect for field ops:https://tidd.ly/46n7BSh🧢 Official HamShackTV MerchFrom shirts to mugs — support the shack in style:https://hamshacktv.printify.me/📡 BetterSafeRadio GearSave 7% on solid gear for the prepared ham — use code AA4WX7https://bettersaferadio.com/pro/aa4wx🌐 Explore MeshtasticGet started with off-grid comms — click here:https://tinyurl.com/yfuanv2e🚀 Join This Channel for Perks & Exclusive ContentGet member-only videos, badges & more:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJbVjEmjCQcwcD-Lk91owhw/join🛍️ Visit the All-New HamShackTV Amazon StoreMy curated picks in one place:https://www.amazon.com/shop/hamshacktvLet’s keep HamShackTV going strong — here’s how you can be a part of it:💬 Chat with Us on DiscordJoin the conversation with fellow hams: https://discord.gg/BcqkVCZdZ9📘 Follow on FacebookDaily posts, updates, and behind-the-scenes: https://facebook.com/HamShackTV🌐 Visit the website for videos, merch & more: https://HAMSHACKTV.COM⚠️ FTC Disclaimer: Some links are affiliate links.

After my last video on ARES, RACES, and emergency communications, the response was overwhelming.This follow-up responds directly to YouTube comments and viewer emails — including voices from ARES leadership, AUXCOMM credential holders, and longtime volunteers.We talk about:• Why volunteers are walking away• Pushback from within the system• Credentialing concerns• Leadership silence• Why Skywarn keeps getting it rightThis isn’t about winning arguments.It’s about listening — and fixing what still can be fixed.World Radio League.comWorld Radio League is logging and analytics software for amateur radio operators, helping visualize real on-air activity worldwide.💥 10% off with code HamShackTV🎓 Get licensed or upgrade with Ham Radio Prep👉 https://www.HamRadioPrep.com/?rfsn=8909481.efd9c78💥 10% off with code HamShackTV— Josh, AA4WXLive, Learn, Transmit.🎙 SUPPORT THE CHANNEL & JOIN THE COMMUNITY!🛒 Shop My Amazon Linkhttps://geni.us/HSTVAmazon***Gigaparts***Radios, Antennas, Coax, Power Supplies, 3D Printers, and More!Go to Gigaparts.com and Earn 2x Rewards point when using discound code HamShackTV at checkout.📻 Get Your Ham Radio License the Easy WayHam Radio Prep makes it simple — save 10% with code HamShackTVhttps://HamRadioPrep.com🌍 Join World Radio LeagueTrack QSOs like a pro — 10% off Paid Memberships with HAMSHACKTVhttps://app.worldradioleague.com/?via=joshABR Industries (COAX AND CONNECTORS)https://abrind.com/?sld=hamshacktvUse coupon code hamshacktv10 at checkout for 10% off👉 Buy your SEEED T1000 here: https://www.seeedstudio.com/SenseCAP-Card-Tracker-T1000-E-for-Meshtastic-p-5913.html🔌 Digirig InterfaceYour all-in-one digital rig solution — plug in and get on the air fast:https://digirig.net/p/8/🖥️ Intehill Monitors for POTA & MoreCrystal-clear portable displays perfect for field ops:https://tidd.ly/46n7BSh🧢 Official HamShackTV MerchFrom shirts to mugs — support the shack in style:https://hamshacktv.printify.me/📡 BetterSafeRadio GearSave 7% on solid gear for the prepared ham — use code AA4WX7https://bettersaferadio.com/pro/aa4wx🌐 Explore MeshtasticGet started with off-grid comms — click here:https://tinyurl.com/yfuanv2e🚀 Join This Channel for Perks & Exclusive ContentGet member-only videos, badges & more:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJbVjEmjCQcwcD-Lk91owhw/join🛍️ Visit the All-New HamShackTV Amazon StoreMy curated picks in one place:https://www.amazon.com/shop/hamshacktvLet’s keep HamShackTV going strong — here’s how you can be a part of it:💬 Chat with Us on DiscordJoin the conversation with fellow hams: https://discord.gg/BcqkVCZdZ9📘 Follow on FacebookDaily posts, updates, and behind-the-scenes: https://facebook.com/HamShackTV🌐 Visit the website for videos, merch & more: https://HAMSHACKTV.COM⚠️ FTC Disclaimer: Some links are affiliate links.

Amateur radio emergency services are changing — and not for the better.From Vermont sunsetting RACES, to declining ARES participation, to new credentialing requirements that risk pushing volunteers out, this video examines a growing disconnect between emergency management, ARRL leadership, and the volunteers who actually show up.This video is inspired by a detailed viewer email from an ARES Assistant Emergency Coordinator and RACES participant who has lived these issues firsthand.We discuss:• Declining volunteer participation• State-level credentialing failures• ARRL leadership communication gaps• The 2025 ARES Plan and its consequences• Why Skywarn still works• And why “use it or lose it” is no longer theoreticalThis is not an attack — it’s a warning.🌍 Series sponsor: World Radio LeagueWorld Radio League is logging and analytics software for amateur radio operators — showing real, on-air activity across modes and regions.💥 10% off with code HamShackTV🎓 Want to get licensed, upgrade, or understand emergency communications better?👉 https://www.HamRadioPrep.com/?rfsn=8909481.efd9c78💥 10% off with code HamShackTV at checkout— Josh, AA4WXLive, Learn, Transmit.🎙 SUPPORT THE CHANNEL & JOIN THE COMMUNITY!🛒 Shop My Amazon Linkhttps://geni.us/HSTVAmazon***Gigaparts***Radios, Antennas, Coax, Power Supplies, 3D Printers, and More!Go to Gigaparts.com and Earn 2x Rewards point when using discound code HamShackTV at checkout.📻 Get Your Ham Radio License the Easy WayHam Radio Prep makes it simple — save 10% with code HamShackTVhttps://HamRadioPrep.com🌍 Join World Radio LeagueTrack QSOs like a pro — 10% off Paid Memberships with HAMSHACKTVhttps://app.worldradioleague.com/?via=joshABR Industries (COAX AND CONNECTORS)https://abrind.com/?sld=hamshacktvUse coupon code hamshacktv10 at checkout for 10% off👉 Buy your SEEED T1000 here: https://www.seeedstudio.com/SenseCAP-Card-Tracker-T1000-E-for-Meshtastic-p-5913.html🔌 Digirig InterfaceYour all-in-one digital rig solution — plug in and get on the air fast:https://digirig.net/p/8/🖥️ Intehill Monitors for POTA & MoreCrystal-clear portable displays perfect for field ops:https://tidd.ly/46n7BSh🧢 Official HamShackTV MerchFrom shirts to mugs — support the shack in style:https://hamshacktv.printify.me/📡 BetterSafeRadio GearSave 7% on solid gear for the prepared ham — use code AA4WX7https://bettersaferadio.com/pro/aa4wx🌐 Explore MeshtasticGet started with off-grid comms — click here:https://tinyurl.com/yfuanv2e🚀 Join This Channel for Perks & Exclusive ContentGet member-only videos, badges & more:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJbVjEmjCQcwcD-Lk91owhw/join🛍️ Visit the All-New HamShackTV Amazon StoreMy curated picks in one place:https://www.amazon.com/shop/hamshacktvLet’s keep HamShackTV going strong — here’s how you can be a part of it:💬 Chat with Us on DiscordJoin the conversation with fellow hams: https://discord.gg/BcqkVCZdZ9📘 Follow on FacebookDaily posts, updates, and behind-the-scenes: https://facebook.com/HamShackTV🌐 Visit the website for videos, merch & more: https://HAMSHACKTV.COM⚠️ FTC Disclaimer: Some links are affiliate links.

A viewer with 57 years in amateur radio reached out with a question we’ve all quietly asked:👉 Is the current ham radio licensing system actually helping the hobby… or holding it back?In this video, I respond to an email from Ben B. Johnson, NY0O, an Extra Class operator licensed since 1968, who argues that:• The Technician exam may be too complex for true beginners• We’ve drifted away from practical, communication-focused licensing• We may need fewer license classes, not more• Family members of hams could be allowed limited VHF/UHF privileges• “Use it or lose it” is a real threat — especially on UHFThis isn’t about dumbing the hobby down.It’s about getting people on the air, communicating, and preserving spectrum.This video is meant to spark respectful discussion, not division.📡 Sponsor: Gigaparts.com Radios, Antennas, Coax, Power Supplies, 3D Printers, and More!Go to Gigaparts.com and Earn 2x Rewards point when using discount code HamShackTV at checkout.World Radio League — a global logging and analytics platform for amateur radio operators.Track your activity, see where you operate, and understand how active the bands really are.💥 10% off with code HamShackTV🎓 Thinking about getting licensed or upgrading?👉 https://www.HamRadioPrep.com/?rfsn=8909481.efd9c78💥 10% off with code HamShackTV at checkout(Money-back guarantee if you don’t pass — see website for details.)— Josh, AA4WXLive, Learn, Transmit.🎙 SUPPORT THE CHANNEL & JOIN THE COMMUNITY!🛒 Shop My Amazon Linkhttps://geni.us/HSTVAmazon***Gigaparts***Radios, Antennas, Coax, Power Supplies, 3D Printers, and More!Go to Gigaparts.com and Earn 2x Rewards point when using discound code HamShackTV at checkout.📻 Get Your Ham Radio License the Easy WayHam Radio Prep makes it simple — save 10% with code HamShackTVhttps://HamRadioPrep.com🌍 Join World Radio LeagueTrack QSOs like a pro — 10% off Paid Memberships with HAMSHACKTVhttps://app.worldradioleague.com/?via=joshABR Industries (COAX AND CONNECTORS)https://abrind.com/?sld=hamshacktvUse coupon code hamshacktv10 at checkout for 10% off👉 Buy your SEEED T1000 here: https://www.seeedstudio.com/SenseCAP-Card-Tracker-T1000-E-for-Meshtastic-p-5913.html🔌 Digirig InterfaceYour all-in-one digital rig solution — plug in and get on the air fast:https://digirig.net/p/8/🖥️ Intehill Monitors for POTA & MoreCrystal-clear portable displays perfect for field ops:https://tidd.ly/46n7BSh🧢 Official HamShackTV MerchFrom shirts to mugs — support the shack in style:https://hamshacktv.printify.me/📡 BetterSafeRadio GearSave 7% on solid gear for the prepared ham — use code AA4WX7https://bettersaferadio.com/pro/aa4wx🌐 Explore MeshtasticGet started with off-grid comms — click here:https://tinyurl.com/yfuanv2e🚀 Join This Channel for Perks & Exclusive ContentGet member-only videos, badges & more:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJbVjEmjCQcwcD-Lk91owhw/join🛍️ Visit the All-New HamShackTV Amazon StoreMy curated picks in one place:https://www.amazon.com/shop/hamshacktvLet’s keep HamShackTV going strong — here’s how you can be a part of it:💬 Chat with Us on DiscordJoin the conversation with fellow hams: https://discord.gg/BcqkVCZdZ9📘 Follow on FacebookDaily posts, updates, and behind-the-scenes: https://facebook.com/HamShackTV🌐 Visit the website for videos, merch & more: https://HAMSHACKTV.COM⚠️ FTC Disclaimer: Some links are affiliate links.

In this video, I’m showing how the same SDR control and logging workflow on the Icom IC-7300 Mk2 can directly benefit POTA hunters.This isn’t about activating parks — this is about working them faster, cleaner, and with better situational awareness.We cover:Using SDR control on the IC-7300 Mk2 for POTA huntingHow visual spectrum awareness helps you spot activators fasterWhy this workflow reduces missed contacts and wasted timeHow World Radio League fits naturally into a POTA hunting setup⚠️ Note: Radio audio in this recording is not fully optimized. That’s on me — and it’s already being addressed for future videos. The operating concepts and workflow, however, are solid and exactly how many hunters are operating today.If you’re chasing parks during lunch breaks, evenings, or contest weekends, this setup helps you hunt smarter instead of harder.🎙 SUPPORT THE CHANNEL & JOIN THE COMMUNITY!🛒 Shop My Amazon Linkhttps://geni.us/HSTVAmazon***Gigaparts***Radios, Antennas, Coax, Power Supplies, 3D Printers, and More!Go to Gigaparts.com and Earn 2x Rewards point when using discound code HamShackTV at checkout.📻 Get Your Ham Radio License the Easy WayHam Radio Prep makes it simple — save 10% with code HamShackTVhttps://HamRadioPrep.com🌍 Join World Radio LeagueTrack QSOs like a pro — 10% off Paid Memberships with HAMSHACKTVhttps://app.worldradioleague.com/?via=joshABR Industries (COAX AND CONNECTORS)https://abrind.com/?sld=hamshacktvUse coupon code hamshacktv10 at checkout for 10% off👉 Buy your SEEED T1000 here: https://www.seeedstudio.com/SenseCAP-Card-Tracker-T1000-E-for-Meshtastic-p-5913.html🔌 Digirig InterfaceYour all-in-one digital rig solution — plug in and get on the air fast:https://digirig.net/p/8/🖥️ Intehill Monitors for POTA & MoreCrystal-clear portable displays perfect for field ops:https://tidd.ly/46n7BSh🧢 Official HamShackTV MerchFrom shirts to mugs — support the shack in style:https://hamshacktv.printify.me/📡 BetterSafeRadio GearSave 7% on solid gear for the prepared ham — use code AA4WX7https://bettersaferadio.com/pro/aa4wx🌐 Explore MeshtasticGet started with off-grid comms — click here:https://tinyurl.com/yfuanv2e🚀 Join This Channel for Perks & Exclusive ContentGet member-only videos, badges & more:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJbVjEmjCQcwcD-Lk91owhw/join🛍️ Visit the All-New HamShackTV Amazon StoreMy curated picks in one place:https://www.amazon.com/shop/hamshacktvLet’s keep HamShackTV going strong — here’s how you can be a part of it:💬 Chat with Us on DiscordJoin the conversation with fellow hams: https://discord.gg/BcqkVCZdZ9📘 Follow on FacebookDaily posts, updates, and behind-the-scenes: https://facebook.com/HamShackTV🌐 Visit the website for videos, merch & more: https://HAMSHACKTV.COM⚠️ FTC Disclaimer: Some links are affiliate links.
