1
00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:04.679
<v Speaker 1>At the end of August, Hamshack Hotline will no longer

2
00:00:04.879 --> 00:00:09.320
<v Speaker 1>be a thing. But there's something new on the horizon

3
00:00:09.480 --> 00:00:12.199
<v Speaker 1>that was just announced and we're going to talk about

4
00:00:12.199 --> 00:00:18.640
<v Speaker 1>it today. So maybe about a month ago I got

5
00:00:18.719 --> 00:00:22.800
<v Speaker 1>this Hamshak Hotline public announcement of fond farewell to our

6
00:00:22.879 --> 00:00:25.399
<v Speaker 1>valued community. It's with the heavy heart. They will announce

7
00:00:25.519 --> 00:00:31.600
<v Speaker 1>the sunset of the Hamshak Hotline project, effective on August

8
00:00:31.640 --> 00:00:34.880
<v Speaker 1>twenty ninth, twenty twenty five, the end of this month.

9
00:00:34.880 --> 00:00:37.759
<v Speaker 1>I'm recording this video the first week of August, so

10
00:00:37.880 --> 00:00:41.320
<v Speaker 1>probably try to get it posted pretty quickly. What began

11
00:00:41.320 --> 00:00:43.600
<v Speaker 1>in twenty eighteen is a simple idea in the humble

12
00:00:43.640 --> 00:00:48.280
<v Speaker 1>closet of K one Wiz quickly grew into something none

13
00:00:48.280 --> 00:00:51.679
<v Speaker 1>of us could have imagined, an expansive global communications network

14
00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:55.679
<v Speaker 1>built by and four amateur radio operators. So if you

15
00:00:55.679 --> 00:00:58.320
<v Speaker 1>don't know what Hamshak Hotline is, and I'm sad to

16
00:00:58.320 --> 00:01:00.479
<v Speaker 1>say this, but I never actually got to use it.

17
00:01:01.079 --> 00:01:04.640
<v Speaker 1>We did some local comms with VoIP phones on an

18
00:01:04.760 --> 00:01:07.640
<v Speaker 1>Ardent network at a field day exercise one time several

19
00:01:07.719 --> 00:01:11.480
<v Speaker 1>years back, but I never actually set up Hamshak Hotline.

20
00:01:11.519 --> 00:01:13.560
<v Speaker 1>I have a phone it's right back there. You can't

21
00:01:13.560 --> 00:01:15.920
<v Speaker 1>see it right now. It's behind my cigar Humador. I

22
00:01:15.959 --> 00:01:19.959
<v Speaker 1>have a VoIP phone and I'd always wanted to set

23
00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:21.480
<v Speaker 1>that up, But you know, it's like I've got a

24
00:01:21.519 --> 00:01:23.760
<v Speaker 1>list of about one hundred and fifty things on the chalkboard,

25
00:01:24.439 --> 00:01:26.200
<v Speaker 1>and one hundred and forty of them I'll probably never

26
00:01:26.200 --> 00:01:27.400
<v Speaker 1>get to, and this is one of the ones that

27
00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:30.319
<v Speaker 1>I never quite got to. But whenever something like this,

28
00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:34.040
<v Speaker 1>whenever a project like this closes hand, radio operators are

29
00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:38.000
<v Speaker 1>usually pretty good about stepping up, taking the reins of

30
00:01:38.120 --> 00:01:41.760
<v Speaker 1>the old project and spinning up something new, maybe adding

31
00:01:41.799 --> 00:01:45.480
<v Speaker 1>to it, maybe improving upon it, something like that. So

32
00:01:45.719 --> 00:01:51.959
<v Speaker 1>I got this email from Jeff Inn eight EMA. So

33
00:01:52.079 --> 00:01:53.760
<v Speaker 1>thank you Jeff for sending this over to me. This

34
00:01:53.840 --> 00:01:56.760
<v Speaker 1>is right in my wheelhouse of things that I like

35
00:01:56.840 --> 00:01:59.400
<v Speaker 1>to talk about on this channel, and it says right

36
00:01:59.400 --> 00:02:03.200
<v Speaker 1>here at this ham Shack Hotline winds down for immediate

37
00:02:03.280 --> 00:02:05.040
<v Speaker 1>release on August first. That was just a couple of

38
00:02:05.079 --> 00:02:07.920
<v Speaker 1>days ago the time of this recording. Hamshack Hotline users

39
00:02:08.039 --> 00:02:12.520
<v Speaker 1>are invited to apply for services at ham'sover IP in

40
00:02:12.520 --> 00:02:15.840
<v Speaker 1>response to recent service changes and anticipated out is affecting

41
00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:19.639
<v Speaker 1>a Hamshack Hotline users. Hams over ip Inc. Is extending

42
00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:23.199
<v Speaker 1>a warm invitation to all amateur radio operators effective by

43
00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:27.000
<v Speaker 1>the transition to apply for service on Hams over ip

44
00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:30.719
<v Speaker 1>HOIP network. Now, I thought this was a new service,

45
00:02:30.759 --> 00:02:33.240
<v Speaker 1>and it sounds like when I read that statement, it

46
00:02:33.319 --> 00:02:35.479
<v Speaker 1>sounds like maybe this has been around a while. So

47
00:02:35.520 --> 00:02:40.599
<v Speaker 1>maybe maybe this has been a competitor to Hamshack Hotline. Brother,

48
00:02:41.520 --> 00:02:43.759
<v Speaker 1>I've never heard I've never heard of this, so to me,

49
00:02:43.879 --> 00:02:46.759
<v Speaker 1>this is new. Guess what. I don't know everything and

50
00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:48.879
<v Speaker 1>there's stuff that I've never heard of before, believe it

51
00:02:48.960 --> 00:02:52.599
<v Speaker 1>or not. As a volunteer driven nonprofit platform, Hams over

52
00:02:52.680 --> 00:02:55.199
<v Speaker 1>Ip was founded by Hams for Hams with a mission

53
00:02:55.319 --> 00:03:00.439
<v Speaker 1>to offer a reliable, secure, and modern VoIP network exclusively

54
00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:04.159
<v Speaker 1>for licened amateur radio operators worldwide. With robust infrastructure, active

55
00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:08.360
<v Speaker 1>adult development, and welcoming community, hip is proud to support

56
00:03:08.360 --> 00:03:12.599
<v Speaker 1>the continued growth of digital amateur communications. This is this

57
00:03:12.680 --> 00:03:14.599
<v Speaker 1>is a press release that was sent out. You guys

58
00:03:14.719 --> 00:03:18.240
<v Speaker 1>might have even seen this right now. As Hamshak Hotline

59
00:03:18.680 --> 00:03:22.919
<v Speaker 1>service winds down for many, Hams over Ip stands ready

60
00:03:23.800 --> 00:03:26.199
<v Speaker 1>to welcome operators who want to continue to join the

61
00:03:26.240 --> 00:03:30.159
<v Speaker 1>seamless radio over IP connections the Hamshack Hotline. As I

62
00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:35.400
<v Speaker 1>understand it was a VIIP phone over a private network

63
00:03:35.919 --> 00:03:38.520
<v Speaker 1>that was set up by Ham radio operators. I'm not

64
00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:41.520
<v Speaker 1>sure how radio plays into it. See this is what

65
00:03:41.599 --> 00:03:43.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't know because I've never used it. I'm not

66
00:03:43.960 --> 00:03:46.120
<v Speaker 1>sure how radio plays into it. Because you can do

67
00:03:46.159 --> 00:03:48.919
<v Speaker 1>it over Arden and Arden's done over Ham radio frequencies,

68
00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:52.080
<v Speaker 1>or it can be And that's that's really fun to do.

69
00:03:52.199 --> 00:03:55.000
<v Speaker 1>I must admit that was really fun to do. So

70
00:03:55.120 --> 00:03:58.479
<v Speaker 1>now they're saying this press release right here is saying

71
00:03:58.840 --> 00:04:02.080
<v Speaker 1>seamless radio over IP connection. So I wonder how they

72
00:04:02.120 --> 00:04:06.280
<v Speaker 1>integrate it into radio? Are they using it on VHF

73
00:04:06.759 --> 00:04:10.879
<v Speaker 1>on HF? Not sure? Hams over IPE because a nonprofit

74
00:04:11.280 --> 00:04:15.840
<v Speaker 1>organization committed to supporting spanning amageur radio VoIP technologies. Services

75
00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:22.040

76
00:04:22.319 --> 00:04:26.360
<v Speaker 1>to provide low latency, optimized performance for worldwide users. So

77
00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:28.839
<v Speaker 1>we can go to hamsoverip dot com and we are

78
00:04:28.879 --> 00:04:32.199
<v Speaker 1>brought to this website here and again this is something

79
00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:34.879
<v Speaker 1>this is new to me. Twenty twenty two. Okay, so

80
00:04:34.920 --> 00:04:36.600
<v Speaker 1>the copyright down at the bottom of the website says

81
00:04:36.600 --> 00:04:38.319
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty two. This has been around for a while,

82
00:04:38.759 --> 00:04:42.040
<v Speaker 1>and it says it's got K four AVG down here

83
00:04:42.079 --> 00:04:44.160
<v Speaker 1>at the bottom of the website as well. Let's scroll

84
00:04:44.199 --> 00:04:46.240
<v Speaker 1>down right there. See the bottom of the web page.

85
00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:49.199
<v Speaker 1>It shows all that. So here we go. Ham radio

86
00:04:49.240 --> 00:04:53.079
<v Speaker 1>operators from all over the world have volunteered their time, skills,

87
00:04:53.240 --> 00:04:56.480
<v Speaker 1>and resources to create a new and dynamic Ham radio

88
00:04:56.600 --> 00:05:01.199
<v Speaker 1>voiceover IP service for our Ham radio community. Featured searchable

89
00:05:01.240 --> 00:05:05.519
<v Speaker 1>BLF integration phone book up to ten endpoints per extension

90
00:05:06.160 --> 00:05:09.600
<v Speaker 1>IAX trunks. So in other words, it probably supports all

91
00:05:09.639 --> 00:05:15.519
<v Speaker 1>star SIP trunks, which is which is EchoLink, and other

92
00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:20.040

94
00:05:21.920 --> 00:05:26.959
<v Speaker 1>discord hams over IP phone Book hip wiki. Probably something

95
00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:28.600
<v Speaker 1>in here on how to get started? How do we

96
00:05:28.600 --> 00:05:31.759

116
00:06:29.120 --> 00:06:32.240
<v Speaker 1>I The great thing about running a YouTube channel, guys,

117
00:06:32.560 --> 00:06:34.480
<v Speaker 1>is that I get to learn new stuff all the

118
00:06:34.519 --> 00:06:37.000
<v Speaker 1>time too. And before I make a video on it.

119
00:06:37.040 --> 00:06:41.399
<v Speaker 1>This is an announcement. I just read a press release.

120
00:06:41.480 --> 00:06:43.920
<v Speaker 1>That's all I did. I read a press release. I'm like, oh,

121
00:06:43.959 --> 00:06:46.439
<v Speaker 1>so some Wain's taken over. I knew hamshak hotline was

122
00:06:46.439 --> 00:06:50.319
<v Speaker 1>shutting down. That notice came across my email about a

123
00:06:50.360 --> 00:06:52.360
<v Speaker 1>month ago, and I was gonna make a video on it.

124
00:06:52.399 --> 00:06:55.319
<v Speaker 1>And I've been traveling and been this, been that. But

125
00:06:55.439 --> 00:06:58.600
<v Speaker 1>this Ham's over IP thing, which looks like the websites

126
00:06:58.639 --> 00:07:02.240
<v Speaker 1>at least to three years old, I've never heard of it.

127
00:07:02.879 --> 00:07:04.399
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know there was. It sounds like they're a

128
00:07:04.399 --> 00:07:09.879
<v Speaker 1>competitor to Hamshat Hotline, which makes sense, and they're ready

129
00:07:09.959 --> 00:07:13.639
<v Speaker 1>to ready to go for everybody that's out there that's

130
00:07:13.639 --> 00:07:15.519
<v Speaker 1>coming off of Hamshak Hotline, which is going to be

131
00:07:15.519 --> 00:07:17.560
<v Speaker 1>shut down at the end of August. So here's my

132
00:07:17.600 --> 00:07:19.959
<v Speaker 1>invitation to you guys at hamsover IP. I invite you

<v Speaker 1>get my phone set up, we'll talk about how to

137
00:07:31.399 --> 00:07:33.079
<v Speaker 1>do it over a radio. We'll talk about how to

138
00:07:33.079 --> 00:07:36.040
<v Speaker 1>do it over secured Internet connection or secured Ardent connection

139
00:07:36.160 --> 00:07:39.160
<v Speaker 1>perhaps something like that. We can talk all about Ham's
