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 [...]

Apparently, so many folks were using it that the php was consuming a lot of CPU behind the scenes (every time a page was loaded that displayed propstats [...]
A few updates at NØHR.com.
I’ve created a few Windows Mobile 5 (Smartphone) ham radio themes. Like my PocketPC PDA Ham Radio Themes, they’re free for the taking.
My ham radio product review section has been enhanced to provide recent reviews to my popular ham radio links page. I did that to encourage more folks to write [...]
I was getting a bit tired of the old Amazon store on NØHR.com so I completely rebuilt it using some new features from Amazon.
The new section of the site is called NØHR.com Ham Radio and PDA Store and it offers ham radio books like:
the ARRL Handbook
ON4UN’s excellent Low Band Dxing
the ARRL’s Extra Class License Manual
Arrl [...]
If you have been trying to contact me via email over the past two days and have not received a reply, it is most likely due to an email outage. On Thursday evening I had switched email providers from my web hosting service to an account on Google. Getting all of that to work with [...]
