Dudley (WA5QPZ) from Flex sent me this follow-up note to my post about the FlexRadio CW contest demo. Just for clarification, I’ve included his comments here. Pat, Read your Blog and very good.. Wish good old MS had not made the changes, but I am sure they were trying to fix some other issue with [...]
Earlier this year, I purchased a new laptop. In transferring some old critical files from my old pc to this laptop, I recognized a need to protect this data. Over the past few years, I’ve been keeping my logbook in DXKeeper (part of the DXLab suite). I’ve also got countless pictures, documents, spreadsheets and just [...]
Another ham radio podcast has been added to the HamLinks ham radio toolbar. Jerry, KD0BIK, wrote to let me know that he has been working on a podcast and now has 11 episodes available. I’ve added this to the HamLinks toolbar. What is the HamLinks Ham Radio Toolbar? HamLinks is a free plugin for web [...]
I’ve been using RufzXP from time to time in order to keep/build in CW copy speed. It’s a fun way to challenge yourself, build your Morse Code skills and track your progress along the way. I typically fire up RufzXP (or another CW program), at least once during my lunch hour and run through a [...]
PPCMorse, the Morse Code trainer for PDAs, has been updated to version 1.2.73. Anyone with a PocketPC or modern WinCE based PDA can use PPCMorse to sharpen their CW skills prior to the fall ham radio contesting season (aka radiosport). Amateur radio contest regulars (and DX enthusiasts) know that Morse Code is alive and well. [...]
Propfire, the Firefox radio/solar propagation data plugin that displays sunspot/prop data in the status bar, is now (finally) compatible with Firefox version 3.0. I had sent a plea for help to the developer community as some major changes to the browser had led to a number of issues. Trevor Hobson kindly offered to review my [...]
I have used a few of the many ham radio logbook applications on the market. Freeware, shareware and commercial. There are some good ones out there and some that are simply unusable. Which do you think is the best? I’ve added what I think are the top 20 Windows logbook programs to the ham radio [...]
The HamLinks Ham Radio Toolbar has received a bit of unexpected publicity lately. Two hams (within a day or two of one another) posted recommendations for the HamLinks toolbar in two substantial user forums. Within each group almost the same conversation erupted… there were many downloads/installations, followed by many other comments along the lines of [...]
The HamLinks Ham Radio Toolbar continues to grow in popularity… with over 1500 installations since its release a couple months ago. I continue to get emails thanking me for putting this toolbar together and asking for new features (only so many hours in the day, but I’m thinking about a few new features). The HamLinks [...]
I’ve created a (free) ham radio toolbar for Internet Explorer and Firefox that may be of interest to other hams. I’d found some shortcomings in some similar toolbars so I produced this one… The Hamlinks ham radio webbrowser toolbar. At the moment, the HamLinks toolbar looks like this: It is very easy to install (and uninstall) for both Firefox and [...]
