VE2DPE's Ham Radio Blog
The ham radio blog (below) plays an essential role in my "triple action" communication strategy.
This Web site is especially designed to assert itself among amateur radio related Web sites. (How? See the "Powered by..." at the bottom of each page). This blog, on the other hand, is designed to offer an extra access to the Web site's content (through RSS feeds), thus augmenting its "visibility" on the Web. Last, but not least, this blog also enables me to publish special timely posts containing my comments on amateur radio related news and events, as they happen.
In other words, I am using every available channel of communication, on the Web, to make my information accessible to the largest audience possible.
A Proven Infopublishing Technique
I use a unique "infopublishing" process to give widespread access to my content, not only with this site, but with all my other sites!
Why use both a Web site and a ham radio blog to reach essentially the same audience?
Why not? It works!
Like so many other things in this world, amateur radio is changing.
This blog's mission is to help you stay tuned to the frequency of exciting changes that are occurring in amateur radio!

Dr David Toth VE3GYQ (SK)
The ham radio community has lost one of its most prominent members.
Dr. David Toth, VE3GYQ went "Silent Key" (SK) on February 26, 2010, after a long battle with cancer. He was 55.
Dr Toth is considered to have played a major role in TAPR's successful participation in the high performance software defined radio (HPSDR) projects.

New Antenna Project Documentation
The Royal Signals Amateur Radio Society has made a number of its technical documents available to all.
An excellent new source of ideas for antenna related projects and experiments.
