Where To Find
Amateur Radio Activity Online

• Sharing HF, VHF, UHF receivers online among many listeners on the Web. The WebSDR receiver-server is making this activity increasingly accessible.

• Internet linking of ham radio stations to exchange voice signals using VoIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) is an increasingly popular activity, especially because it has the potential of helping us save lives in emergencies!

  If you want en excellent introduction to VoIP and networks such as EchoLink and IRLP, I highly recommend reading K1RFD's book "VoIP: Internet Linking for Radio Amateurs" (published by ARRL).

• Using Web sites to communicate useful information to the amateur radio community, and any interested individual, on the multiple aspects of the ham radio hobby and public service.

  Sample URL:

  • www.HamRadioSecrets.com is only one of an increasing number of Web sites created by amateur radio operators.
    Try it. It's fun and rewarding!

• It is worth noting that ham radio magazines are making increasing use of the Web to reach their readers.

  For instance, AntenneX, a magazine entirely dedicated to antennas, is only available online.
