Hello! We have just done the drawing for the raffle we held at the Joplin ARC Hamfest back in August. We would once again like to thank everyone who stopped by our booth and who talked with us about our podcast, Linux, Open Source and the ham radio hobby. Drum roll, please…

The winner is: Jim, K5LAD!

Congratulations, Jim. Your Linux in the Ham Shack swag (T-shirt) is on its way to you as we speak. Thanks for entering the drawing. Until next time, happy listening!

Hey, everyone. I know it’s been a while since the Southeast Linux Fest happened down in wonderful South Carolina, but I finally got around to determining the winner of the raffle we held when we were there.

As it turns out, congratulations go out to Mark, N4TIR, for his winning raffle entry. Thank you to everyone who participated in the drawing, and to everyone who stopped by our booth to talk about geek tech, amateur radio, Open Source or simply to say hello. We want everyone to know that we had a great time and we’ll definitely be back next year.

Oh, the prize is a ZipIt Z2 personal IM device. It’s a neat toy by itself, but we’re also throwing in a 2GB miniSD card and some instructions on how to turn your ZipIt into a Linux-based computer so you can have some real fun with it. Enjoy!

You can find the link here, or click on the “LHS Live!” link under Streaming in the right-hand column. Thank you for your continued support and listenership.

Last night there was a brief debate about having our merchandise spread across two online shops. We like Printfection because they provide T-shirts and other clothing in sizes up to 5X, which CafePress and other sites do not. However, Printfection does not offer other cool merchandise like wall clocks, hoodies and baseball caps. So the debate ended rather abruptly and we now have two online stores. For most of your clothing and other LHS promotional accessories, please visit the Printfection shop at http://www.printfection.com/lhs. If you’re looking for wall clocks, hoodies or hats, check out the CafePress shop at http://www.cafepress.com/lhspodcast. Either way, your purchase will donate from $0.99 to $1.99 to the Linux in the Ham Shack hosting fees. Thank you for your support!
