I’ve made some headway on the new website. Lots of work to be done yet, but it’s good to tackle some of the major challenges prior to the big cutover. If you would like to get a sneak peek at the new N0HR.com website – just be warned that it’s only partially done. There’s still [...]
I’m moving to a new web hosting provider. While this should be good for N0HR.com in the long run, there will be some pain associated with the move. As you may know, there are a lot of moving parts to this little corner of the internet: scripts I’ve created to provide propagation information to the [...]
I’ve just added a new feature to the blog… a poll. You’ll find it in the far upper-right column of the blog layout. OK, I know what you’re thinking. You’ve seen these web polls before, web polls are a dime a dozen, are statistically invalid and don’t add a lot of value. Perhaps, if you’re [...]
Steve, K9ZW recently posted to his ham radio blog about the worth of Twitter. His post hits on the very thing that has kept me away from dabbling in the world of Twitter – I simple don’t have any more bandwidth (time) for either posting (“Tweeting”) or reading about the minutia of day-to-day life. I [...]
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 [...]
For some strange reason (still unknown to me), the DXpedition Map and PropagationStats had stopped updating. There’s a lot of php code behind the scenes that I’ve used to create some of these tools and I guess I needed to convert to the new PHP version (5.X) to restore order. My ISP has warned that [...]
In the process of updating my ham radio reviews database. QRX.
The product reviews section has been updated. Every Force12 and SteppIR product on the market has been added (and that’s a lot!). If you have experience (positive or negative) with SteppIR or Force12 products, take a minute or two to submit a review. Simply go to the Ham Radio Antenna Reviews page and drill down [...]
The DXPedition World Map feature is once again on-line and being updated. It’s now automated – so I should now be able to keep it in-sync with the NG3K.com DX website. As before, you can: zoom in on a DXpedition, slide the horizontal scrollbar to move through time and see upcoming DXPeditions appear hover your [...]
Well it took a bit of creativity, but I was able to resolve the issue with Propstats. The scripts that run in the background should now require much less CPU by my webhost. I learned a few php tricks along the way that may be of use in the future. PropagationStats should again be fully [...]
