This Web site will help you find the basic information you need to...

Even "old timers" will find something useful here!
The testimonials I receive say so!

Where The Action Is

Each amateur radio operator has preferences. Many concentrate their activities in one of the following categories.

• Operating and "rag chewing".
• Public service (ARES, Skywarn, Elmers).
• Contesting.
• Experimenting (antennas, modes, equipment modifying, kit building, etc).

Those that have the inclination and the available time ... end up doing a little bit of everything!

Exciting Times Ahead

I've been a ham since 1974 with VE2DPE as call sign. I have seen many turning points in this great hobby.

The coming years are going to be significant for two main reasons.

• Software Defined Radio (SDR)
• Sunspot Cycle 24
