Live Free and Ham is an amateur radio collective led by Todd Stackhouse, Jeremy, Steve, and Phil, delivering an unfiltered perspective on the hobby through the lens of New Hampshire’s rugged ethos. The group produces the bi-weekly Live Free and Ham Podcast and the Northeast Ham Radio Happy Hour, a live broadcast format that blends technical radio discussions with casual, late-night social engagement. By hosting the 24 Hour POTA Campout at locations like Greenfield State Park, the team bridges the gap between digital theory and physical outdoor activation. Their content often targets industry gatekeeping, advocating for modern entry paths through segments like Shack Roasts and the competitive FT8 Battle Night. This group of operators recently achieved visibility through their live coverage at NEAR-Fest, establishing themselves as key voices for portable operations and DIY hardware modification. They provide technical insights on everything from 75-ohm signal savers to solar propagation, appealing to operators who value self-reliance and the communal 'ragchew' tradition.
