I was asked to host a Hack-Chat for hackaday.com and many interesting questions and points were made on how to keep the interest alive in ham radio and bring new people into the hobby. I'm going to recap my favorite comments and add my opinion on keeping "The worlds best hobby" alive.
Transcripts from the chat are here: https://hackaday.io/event/169574/logs?sort=oldest

I've been using Raspberry Pi devices for a while now on individual projects on the channel and I thought it would be fitting to step back a level and help people get started with Raspberry Pi on their own and begin experimenting with this awesome device.
A quick breakdown of the parts list can be seen here: https://youtu.be/2dN4hos5_6M
Things you need to setup and use Raspberry Pi:
- W3DJS Raspberry Pi Ham Radio Image v2.0 http://bit.ly/W3DJSRasPiv2ImgCompressed
