Ham Radio Website of the Week: NG3K.com
This week’s ham radio website is the NG3K Amateur Radio Contest/DX Page. Bill, NG3K, has done an awesome job of creating an extremely thorough repository of DXing and Contesting information.
The front page of Bill’s site is basically an organized listing of links (which you might find on other sites). That’s pretty good. But, in my mind, the real value is in the underlying pages.
Announced DX Operations
The Announced DX Operations page is probably the most accurate listing of DX operations available. Bill gathers data from multiple DX newsletters and websites to update his listing and then organizes the information by dates, entities, modes, QSL route, etc. For a DXer, this page alone makes it worthwhile. Users of my DXpedition Map might be interested to know that I have a script that pulls data from Bills page daily to keep my map up-to-date. (By the way, the DXpedition Map is also accessible via the HamLinks toolbar). Ok, enough about me 
Amateur Radio Contesting Resources and Information
On the contesting side, Bill offers details of DX operations that will be active during major contests. Want to know which DXpeditions will be available during CQ WW WPX SSB? Bill’s page will tell you.
NG3K.com is much more than a few pages of links to other sites. (If I wanted links to other ham radio sites, I’d start with my own). Bill’s site has unique content that makes it a valuable resource to many in the DXing and ham radio contesting community - that’s what makes it the Ham Radio Website of the Week.
