Amateur Radio Information and Resources

Amateur radio is extremely well-represented on the Internet. This page contains links to sites that I have stumbled across and found to be worthwhile and fun. The collection includes callsign and QSL servers, DX and contest information, propagation forecasts, and bulletins and newsletters.

73 and thanks!

Testimonial
I have been a satisfied LOGic user for many years. A while back, through my own stupidity I managed to mess things up so that the program wouldn't run. At 11:10 PM I e-mailed PDA with a description of the problem. Imagine my amazement when Dennis, WN4AZY, telephoned me with the solution at 11:30! Recently, LOGic 7 began to generate some strange errors. An email to PDA brought a prompt and accurate reply from Dennis, explaining that one of Windows' .dll files had become corrupted and providing instructions on how to fix it. Customer service doesn't get better that that. Thanks, Dennis.

Caveat Emptor
Atomic Time makes this list as the worst vendor I have ever encountered. They sell clocks and watches that automatically reset themselves using a low-frequency radio signal from WWV.

When I purchased one of their wristwatches, it arrived with no printed material whatever - no warranty, no operating instructions, and no contact information. It took me seven attempts, by email (they didn't answer), telephone (their automated attendant didn't work properly) and snail mail (they didn't answer) before I located someone who could tell me how to even set the watch.

The warranty, by the way, is for only six months. My watch stopped running nine months after I purchased it. Inquiries as to how or where I might have it repaired were met, predictably, with complete silence from Atomic Time. I now own a $150 piece of trash. Don't even think about doing business with these cheats!
