Got a licensing or radio question this site missed?
A number on Hamrigs that looks off, a radio recommendation that didn’t fit your situation, or a setup that doesn’t match the usual examples, an apartment with no line of sight to a repeater, a boat, an RV, an HOA that won’t allow a real antenna. Real operator problems are useful here, especially the ones that show where a guide needs to be clearer.
The Fastest Way to Reach Henry
Email is the most reliable way to get in touch. Henry reads messages sent to Hamrigs, especially ones that point to a specific article, a specific radio or setup problem, or a detail that could help the next new ham reading the same guide.
Replies aren’t instant, and not every individual setup can get a full diagnosis by email. Still, corrections, sharp questions, unclear examples, and odd real-world situations are all worth sending. A good message usually points to exactly what the site should explain better.
Use this email for corrections, licensing or radio questions, spec checks, and notes from your own station setup.
If an article has an FCC fee, question count, wattage figure, price range, or recommendation that looks off, send the page URL and the exact sentence. The more specific the note, the easier it is to check against the source or the current listing.
Licensing and setup questions are often more specific than general ham radio content makes them sound. If you can’t find a clear answer about exam prep, radio choice, programming, repeater use, or antenna setup, send the question in plain language.
No nearby repeater, a metal-frame apartment, an HOA fighting your antenna plans, a boat or an RV, or a mix of hiking and home use on one budget can all change the right answer. Those situations show where a guide needs a better example instead of cleaner theory.
For legitimate partnership questions, put “Partnership” in the subject line and explain the request clearly. Generic guest post pitches, link exchange offers, SEO agency outreach, and unrelated product promotions may not get a response.
What to Include in Your Message
For a correction, include the page URL, the exact line or claim, and what you think should be checked. For a setup question, include your license class, what you’re trying to do (home base, mobile, handheld, or a mix), your general location or terrain, and what’s actually going wrong. Short, specific details help more than a long backstory.
If the issue is a quiet repeater, mention distance and terrain. If it’s a programming problem, mention the radio model and software you’re using. If it’s a licensing question, mention which exam you’re studying for. Those small details usually matter more than the brand name on the radio.

For corrections, include the article URL and the exact claim. For setup or licensing questions, describe what you’re trying to do and what’s going wrong. Plain details are enough.
