All,
I am receiving emails for a "Hamgate DE" for a few months now. I am not in Germany and I do not recall signing up for these emails. I have inquired a few times before, but I keep getting them.
I'm noticing it's common in the Ham world to harvest emails without users' permission. Is "Hamegate DE" somehow affiliated with AMPRNet?
Thanks and 73,
- LynwoodKB3VWG

Hey All!
I have a feeling I know the answer to my question already, but I figured I'd ask anyways:
Is going through Chris the only way to get updates to RADB records?
Rather than emailing him directly to make a change is there a better avenue? (Submit a ticket through the portal perhaps?)
I've been trying to get the origin AS updated on my allocation for a few months now with no luck.
Hi Everyone,
I am trying to get in touch with the following members, if you are on this list please can you email me?
If anyone knows how to get in touch with anyone on the list, please drop me an email:
