Hello everyone,

My name is Duane, N6DMR, and I’ve created this GoFundMe on behalf of my good friend, Jeremiah (W9JAM).

Many of you already know Jeremiah. Since 2016, he’s been a constant source of knowledge and support in the Amateur Radio world, especially with DMR. From his very first TyT MD-380 to helping countless hams set up AnyTone radios and MMDVM hotspots, Jeremiah has been the kind of Elmer who freely shares his time and experience. He’s answered questions in groups, jumped on calls, and walked people through troubleshooting—always making sure others could enjoy this great hobby.

Now it’s Jeremiah who needs our support. He is currently on medical leave and dealing with financial strain while he focuses on his recovery. For years, he’s been there for the ham community. This fundraiser is a chance for us to return the favor.

No amount is too small—every donation will go directly toward helping Jeremiah cover essential expenses during this time away from work. If Jeremiah has ever helped you program a codeplug, troubleshoot a radio, or simply encouraged you when you felt stuck, please consider donating or sharing this campaign.

The ham radio spirit has always been about community. Jeremiah has embodied that spirit for nearly a decade—let’s come together now and support him the way he’s supported so many of us.

Thank you all for your generosity and kindness.

73,

Duane – N6DMR
