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!

Linux in the Ham Shack took a bit of an unintended hiatus over the last month. We're in the process of trying to catch back up to where we're supposed to be. The current episode recording schedule has been posted and is accurate. We're going to do a couple of broadcasts two weeks in a row and then the next three releases will be coming out in rapid succession so we're back on track.
After the Dayton Hamvention, Southeast Linux Fest, Joplin ARC Hamfest and Ohio Linux Fest, things have slowed down a bit on the event front, but we're just starting up again when it comes to the show. So please stay tuned, tell your friends about us, and make sure to pick up a shirt or a ball cap. These are high quality items, and the only way you can get them is online or when we're at an event close to you. Also, check out the new BADGER WEAR! You can find a link to all of our merchandise at the top of this Web site. Have a good week, everyone, and thanks for listening!

In a rare promotional episode of Linux in the Ham Shack, we talk to four folks from the upcoming Ohio Linux Fest. Bear, Rob, Moose and Beth Lynn give our listeners the low down on everything that's going to happen at this year's event. Make no mistake, this time around it sounds like it's going to be a lot of fun, even more fun than last year. Linux in the Ham Shack is going to be there, too, with new equipment, new demos and a lot more to make it worth stopping by. So if you're going to be around Columbus, Ohio on September 10-12 or you have some free time and a little bit of extra cash, make sure to come by the show. It's going to be KILLA.

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!

Episode #044 of Linux in the Ham Shack makes its debut, and even on time. We're still trying to catch up on a little bit of a backlog so this episode is mostly feedback from listeners. We touch on a variety of topics including packet radio, the AX.25 kernel driver for TNCs, the importance of Linux and Open Source, Android and emerging Linux markets, and much, much more.
Thanks for taking the time to download us and being an ever-faithful listener. We would be nothing without you and we want to let you know that we appreciate each and every pair of ears that hears us every fortnight. Don't forget to send us your feedback, whether it be as a comment on the Web site, a voice mail submitted via our toll-free hot-line or an e-mail to one or both of us. Also, please don't forget about making donations or buying some of our LHS merchandise if you have the wherewithal to do so. Enjoy our current offering and we'll be back live in a week for more rowdy fun.
