DoomsdaysCW<p>So, I just checked in with the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SolarHam" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SolarHam</span></a> website. Seems the person running it has put it into "minimal" status (only urgent updates), while he deals with health issues. He is looking for volunteer help with the website, so I though I'd put it out to the Fediverse... I've been following SolarHam since its inception in 2006. It would be a valuable resource to lose.</p><p>Website Status<br>March 3, 2025 @ 16:20 UTC</p><p>"Thank you again for your support and understanding while I take a break from the day to day operations of this website. As requested by many, I decided to put the page back online, however without any of my personal updates and data. It is the best I can do for now until I decide when to resume my normal operations again.</p><p>"With that said, I will be looking for help to take my workload off and bring SolarHam to the next level.
