Ham Radio – A contact sport

While I still haven’t seen the article myself, I’ve been told that the April 2008 issue of CQ mentions my website.  I’m certainly glad to get the recognition and warmly welcome newcomers to my little pocket of the web.

There is one unfortunate side effect of this additional traffic though. My ISP sent me a note saying that my site has caused a "High Load Incident" on the server causing them to lock out a php script that I have created. This script provides the solar propagation data to the HamLinks Ham Radio Toolbar.  Roughly 4000 ham radio operators and shortwave enthusiasts are using HamLinks with Firefox and Internet Explorer to navigate the web.

This has caused a Perfect Storm on my humble website as (due to other issues out of my control) I am also unable to make edits to the toolbar itself. I hope to have this resolved within a few hours.
