Is amateur radio still relevant in modern disaster response — or has the landscape changed?

On this HamShackTV Live, I’ll be joined by a panel of experienced operators for an open, honest discussion about the current role of ham radio in emergencies.

We’ll talk about:
• Real-world disaster response
• ARES, RACES, Skywarn — what still works and what doesn’t
• Emergency manager perceptions
• Liability, professionalism, and trust
• Technology vs people
• Where amateur radio still fits — and where it doesn’t

This is not a debate for clicks.
It’s a conversation the hobby needs.

New video is live.

GigaParts sent me the all-new Icom IC-7300 MK2 on loan, and I put it straight on the bench — no fluff, no hype.

This video covers:
• Full unboxing
• Initial setup
• CW decode demo on live signals

The original IC-7300 earned its reputation the hard way — by working. The MK2 doesn’t reinvent the wheel, it refines it, and that’s exactly what most hams actually want.

🎥 Watch it here:

If you’re thinking about buying one, use my GigaParts link and coupon code HamShackTV to earn DOUBLE REWARDS POINTS. That’s real money back on gear you’ll own for years.

As always — honest impressions, real signals, and no marketing nonsense.

A fascinating look into the mindset of amateur radio legend, Tim Berry, WB4GBI! The man behind one of the Southeast's most extensive repeater networks opens up about his profound dedication—admitting his commitment feels 'like a drug.' Yet, he maintains a strong personal rule against directly soliciting donations on the air, believing it goes against the spirit of ham radio. Discover his unique perspective on supporting essential infrastructure, even when the operators refuse to 'panhandle.' A must-see discussion with an engineering powerhouse.
