Steve Hasskamp

(Published August 2026)

Steve Hasskamp’s career has touched every aspect of the broadcasting industry.

He has provided engineering services worldwide, been in ownership, consultancy, mentorship and just “plain old lending a hand” to anyone who asked.

That “just ask” attitude carries on the legacy of George Marti who likewise went over and above in supporting broadcasters.

He would never hesitate to drive across the country to loan equipment to multiple stations – when they needed it most.

To this day, his colleagues not only credit his longtime knowledge and wisdom – especially about Continental transmitters – but his kind heart.

His kind and gentle manners, as well as deep reserves of patient explanation and teaching, left a permanent mark on the lives of many engineers across the US. Much like George Marti, Steve Hasskamp’s lifetime of work and legacy of knowledge will leave a forever impact on the industry.
