ENCYCLOPEDIA OF HAM RADIO
We meet thousands of hams on the bands, knowing no more about them than their callsigns and first name. We don´t know if the guy at the other end is old or young; if we have other common interests than ham radio; if we are talking to a YL or an OM in CW or that this might be someone with a remarkable story to tell us.
Encyclopedia of Ham Radio is a project by hams for hams where we
* get to know the guy at the other end - not just 599 TU.
* read about hams actively participating in rescue operations
* read how we can get youngsters interested in ham radio
* read about recent DXpeditions
* follow the development of Amateur Radio since 1912
If you are an active ham, I would be happy to have your presentation here among the more than 500 hams presented on the new edition which will be presented in 2012.
I will be happy to send you examples of presentations from the first edition of this project.
Encyclopedia of Ham Radio is written like a book, but the huge amount of information (more than 1600 pages) would demand five books. That´s why it comes as a PDF-file where you can easily search for information and magnify a photo to look at details.
I will be very happy to hear from you and if you have any questions, please contact me at [javascript protected email address] !
We all like to find more young hams on the bands. Here you find hams who tell you how they succeed and how you can become a mentor for new hams.
"CQ - Welcome to the adventure!" is a Power Point presentation, I have made to get youngsters interested in ham radio. It´s available free of charge in English, Spanish, German, or Swedish. If you like to have it, just send me an e-mail and I will send it via file transfer.
Since 2005, I have spent more than 6000 hours on this project and I expect to need at least another 1000 hours before I present the next edition – where I hope to find your presentation!
The project is presented on page 37 in the April 2011 issue of QST.
Amateur Radio gives you 2 Million Friends -
