Nashville, TN —Jon Massaro, W4JDM and Tony Swindle, W1VS, recently appeared on the popular YouTube channel Ham Radio 2.0, where he delivered an in-depth discussion about the Ham Co-Op organization.
In the video, Massaro and Swindle explains the history, mission, and strategic goals of the Co-Op, including how it facilitates collaboration among regional clubs, shares technical resources, and fosters growth in the amateur radio community across Middle Tennessee. He also spoke about recent Co-Op initiatives—such as group equipment purchases, joint training workshops, and plans for larger cooperative events.
Massaro’s and Swindle’s clear and engaging presentation provides listeners with a better understanding of the Co-Op’s value not only for seasoned operators but also for newcomers. He also shared insights from the recent Ham Co-Op picnic, which drew over 100 attendees and included demonstrations and on-site amateur radio testing.
The segment helps spread awareness of the Co-Op’s mission beyond local circles and encourages more radio amateurs to get involved. Club leaders hope the exposure will lead to new partnerships, membership growth, and stronger community ties.
