Amateur HAM Radio Deceased/Death/SilentKey Best Standard Practices
One of the members of our local radio club has been asked to help dispose of the ham radio equipment of a recent Silent Key. He is wondering if there are any Standard Practices or recommendations available, so he does not have to reinvent the wheel.

HamRadioNow: Florida Repeater Council
HamRadioNow: Florida Repeater Council?
Bryan
Fields W9CR is accusing the Florida Repeater Council of being corrupt
and inefficient to the point of inaction. It stems from his attempt to
coordinate a 220 MHz band repeater in Tampa Bay, FL. Bryan's account is
that the process went from delay to friction to outright hostility.
Bryan
has launched a reform group with this web site where he makes his case.
He's produced a 15-minute YouTube video that also details the story
(which we've condensed into about 3 minutes and inserted at the very end
of the show), and now this 90-minute HamRadioNow Episode in which host
Gary Pearce KN4AQ grills Bryan mercilessly (OK, he asks a few pointed
questions), and David Goldenberg W0DHG supplies the average ham
perspective, asking questions that have bedeviled frequency coordinators
for decades (where do they get their authority, who do they report to,
who's supposed to fix this?).
We've invited the FRC to appear on
a future show to respond, and Gary realizes (again) how much we need to
do a Repeater Show or two with some of the rich history of ham radio
repeaters, a close look at the issues and problems repeater users,
owners and coordinators face, and some predictions of the future.
Dayton Hamvention Cancels 2021 Show
“Unfortunately, several setbacks in the recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic make necessary the difficult decision to cancel Hamvention 2021,” a January 11 announcement from the Hamvention Executive Committee said. Sponsored by the Dayton Amateur Radio Association (DARA), Hamvention was set to take place May 21 – 23 in Xenia, Ohio.
“Hundreds of volunteers have been working to do everything necessary to bring this Hamvention to the many amateur radio enthusiasts and vendors who support the Dayton Hamvention. Vaccine distribution both in the United States and around the world is lagging behind what was planned. In addition, the emergence of a more communicable form of the COVID-19 virus increases the potential for further public health problems in the next few months. We make this difficult decision for the safety of our guests and vendors. Those who had their tickets deferred last year will be deferred again.”

Amateur Radio Certification Facts
Traditionally, amateur radio operators were issued two separate authorizations; an Amateur Radio Operator Certificate and a radio station licence. The Amateur Radio Operator Certificate was issued for life and had no fee associated with it, while the radio station licence was issued on a yearly basis and a licence renewal fee was charged.
Although it is no longer necessary for amateurs to renew their licence annually, they are required to inform Industry Canada of any changes in their mailing address.

Hi guys.
It seems that a massive 67761 contacts from the RadioID.net "user.csv" file have been deleted since the last time i downloaded it on Nov 1st.
I noticed this today when the file went from being over 10mb to around 7mb. Luckily i didn't write this to my D878UV, but did update my Pi Hotspot's "stripped.csv" file with it which meant that so many contacts now didn't show on my Nextion screen anymore. I had kept a folder full of backups...latest being from 1st of November...so managed to SSH that back into the Pi.
Does anybody know if the deletion has happened in error?

DO NOT use Logbook for DMR C4FM P25 NXDN hotspots Pi-Star openSPOT logging says QRZ
DO NOT use Logbook for DMR C4FM P25 NXDN hotspots Pi-Star openSPOT says QRZ
So like many of us know about the QRZ logbook. The logbook is limited and not structured for digital voice ; dmr, p25, c4fm and repeater logging (logging contacting with other)
The current logbook at QRZ.COM and the available option for DIGITALVOICE seems to be limited and setup for DSTAR as many have said.
We understand with the changing of time and new technologies or modes of contact it’s important to have a logging platform.
As of January 2021
