    Hamshack Hotline, Digital Voice, and Nets #ARRL #hamradio

    Once upon a time, Hamshack Hotline meant one was tied to an old fashioned telephone connected to a CAT-5 cable to a router or the like.Those that
    follow kc5fm-9 know the little red car goes places and does stuff. There's
    not a CAT-5 cable long enough for those trips.Hamshack Hotline can be used
    with apps on your cell phone, GroundWire, on IOS and Android, for example,
    to connect to other resources, like a resource like the WA0JBW repeater.
    There are nets that use Hamshack Hotline like the Wichita Amateur Radio
    Club DMR net.
    One can be on the other side of the Planet and talk to their friends on the local repeater. "It's NOT real radio" certainly is correct in that it's
    not an AM radio transmitter but the ARRL insures at least one "Not Real
    Radio" because it's a ham radio with the right software.The League dues certainly are worth considering.

    To spotlight the many ways people with disabilities embody the commitment
    and excellence of the U.S. workforce, we are proud to recognize National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM). The theme for NDEAM 2021, “America’s Recovery: Powered by Inclusion,” reflects the importance of ensuring that people with disabilities have full access to employment and community involvement during the COVID-19 pandemic. One of the ways FEMA fosters the growth of our diverse workforce, including individuals with disabilities, is by utilizing the Schedule A Hiring Authority. This
    authority streamlines the hiring process for persons with disabilities and,
    in some instances, allows hiring managers to select solely from a list of qualified Schedule A applicants.
