ROC Share Shack

ROC Share Shack 100% Voluntary. By Amateur's for Amateur's. Equipment available by donation on loan to LICENSED RESIDENTS of CORNWALL*

Equipment, advice and support available to ANY and ALL Licensed amateur radio licence holders within Cornwall and surrounding area's. *Equipment is available at the discretion of Share shack for an agreed period, typically within Cornwall but surrounding areas may be considered. Donations or loan equipment by drop off and collection ONLY unless otherwise agreed. We aim to offer all types of amateu

r radio related equipment to those in temporary need. a priority given to newly licensed operators. This is possible thanks to the generosity of local stations giving up ownership of spare or unused equipment to the Share Shack scheme for the betterment of radio locally. ALL donations to the scheme are welcome from a plug to a roll of wire to a complete station! Consumable items welcome, such as components that could be permanently gifted to stations when available. As well as equipment we offer advice on a collective and "best person to ask" basis. We are all amateurs and NOT professionals and any actions are taken so at your own risk but the amateur community has vast knowledge that we are aiming to make more accessible without anyone feeling "stupid" or that they are "imposing". Lastly where possible we will try and offer physical support with antenna or radio installations, setting up of equipment etc. This is NOT a service, merely support for those who might need a hand and is available by operators giving their time and expertise. Please consider making yourself part of the scheme.

SHARESHACK CORNWALL will here to be known as
ROC SHARESHACK

RADIO OPERATORS CORNWALL “ROC” has adopted my original scheme of the Shareshack. As the individual responsible for both entities I believe it is for the betterment of both schemes to work in conjunction and better for me as an individual to not manage the Shareshack as an entirely separate entity.

What is the Shareshack?
The Shareshack is 100% Voluntary and Free. It will now be managed under the scope of ROC.
Equipment, advice and support available to ANY and ALL Licensed radio amateurs within Cornwall and surrounding area's.

Equipment available by donation on loan to LICENSED RESIDENTS of CORNWALL

Equipment is available at the discretion of ROC Shareshack for an agreed period, typically within Cornwall but surrounding areas may be considered.

Donations or loan equipment by drop off and collection ONLY unless otherwise agreed.
We aim to offer all types of amateur radio related equipment to those in temporary need. a priority given to newly licensed operators.

This is possible thanks to the generosity of local stations giving up ownership of spare or unused equipment to the Share Shack scheme for the betterment of the local radio community.
ALL donations to the scheme are welcome from a plug to a roll of wire to a complete station! Consumable items welcome, such as components that could be permanently gifted to stations when available. If you donate equipment it is considered a donation and relinquishment of ownership and any claim.

As well as equipment we offer advice on a collective and "best person to ask" basis. We are all amateurs and NOT professionals and any actions are taken so at your own risk but the amateur community has vast knowledge that we are aiming to make more accessible without anyone feeling "stupid" or that they are "imposing".

Lastly where possible we will try and offer physical support with antenna or radio installations, setting up of equipment etc. This is NOT a service, merely support for those who might need a hand and is available by operators giving their time and expertise. Please consider making yourself part of the scheme.

Share shack statement.
A message to all :)

I have been trying to decide how to convey the essence of my intention/vision for the share shack scheme. I always circle back to it being a project I am running, so for now things are going to have to be the way they are to allow it to function. In the future with further resources and/or support this may change and the scheme is always open to change. So, in order to get things off the ground this is the structure I've decided upon. I will say, I not only welcome support but WANT and hope to NEED help organising, running and promoting Share Shack so please get in touch if you have a passion for helping both new and existing licensee's with equipment, information and practical support.

Firstly this scheme will be run on a trust basis NOT for gain or profit. It will rely on equipment being relinquished to Share Shack under my operation, therefore any donation will in essence become my (G5XDX) property BUT will be on a Share shack inventory which will be fully available to all. Neither Share shack nor I (G5XDX) will be under any obligation to return equipment donated. If you are not happy with this DO NOT offer equipment. I cannot be responsible for the return of equipment or damages occurring so again, full relinquishment will be required. Share Shack will not offer 3rd party equipment for loan or arrange a loan of equipment not in the Share Shack inventory.

Those borrowing equipment do so on a trust basis at my discretion. The loan period will be a max of 4 weeks unless otherwise agreed. No fee will be charged but more expensive items may require a token deposit to be agreed. ANYONE borrowing equipment must agree to the public sharing of the loan (Your call sign and which equipment has been borrowed) be assured anyone who fails to return equipment or deliberately attempts to gain from the equipment available WILL be named and shamed! Should damage occur to the equipment whilst on loan, share shack will not be liable to provide a replacement. The borrower will not be liable for repair or replacement costs.
Some donations may be deemed “consumables” and not intended for return from loan, for example; wire, PL259s, terminal block etc. Again, this will be at my discretion.

We will be promoting an information support scheme with a list of Amateurs willing to share their knowledge and experience in a certain area/s. Antenna building, CW, Data modes etc

Also a practical support scheme to help with manual tasks such as antenna installs, radio installs etc. This will be done under the direct supervision of the Amateur in question with volunteer support purely as a non professional service and with no liability to comply and no liability in case of any damages or repair/replacement of equipment. A signed waiver will be required before any assistance is undertaken.

Finally, I have been working on the inventory and this will go live in the next week. Some equipment has been on loan in recent weeks to M7 stations which has helped them massively. I want this to work and welcome feedback. Don't be offended though if I don't implement your ideas!
Thank you to all who have already donated and those who have shown support.

Thanks again for your support and I look forward to your feedback.

This week we begin sorting and cataloguing the available kit, both from myself and donated equipment. We have had offers of help from individuals and I'll be making a register of those as we progress also. Further details on donations and borrowing and what that involves will also be posted soon 🙌

Anyone interested in helping with this scheme, please let me know.

Thank you
