The Russian Internet Callbook, hosted at krasnodar.online.ru, offers a specialized lookup service for amateur radio callsigns within the Russian Federation. This online tool is designed to assist DXers and contesters in identifying contact information for Russian stations. The resource functions as a digital callbook, allowing users to search for specific callsigns and retrieve associated data, which is crucial for QSLing and verifying contacts. While the concept is to provide a comprehensive database for Russian amateur radio operators, the current status indicates a configuration issue, as the domain krasnodar.online.ru points to the server but the site itself is not configured. This suggests the service may be inactive or undergoing maintenance, impacting its utility for callsign lookups. The original intent was to serve as a key _DX resource_ for the region.

14MHz SSB 10mW transceiver by JF1OZL

Presents the DBO274 Citizen Band mailbox, a digital communication hub accessible via HTTP and Telnet, specifically catering to **CB radio** enthusiasts in Germany. This resource outlines its functionality for Packet and other digital emissions on the 11-meter band, a segment often overlooked by traditional amateur radio operators but vital for CB users seeking advanced communication methods. The author, DH8YMB, provides insights into its operation, reflecting practical experience with digital modes in the CB spectrum. The DBO274 serves as a bridge, enabling users to exchange messages and data packets, extending the reach and utility of standard CB transceivers. It represents a localized digital infrastructure, demonstrating how the 27 MHz band can support more than just voice contacts, incorporating elements of early internet-like communication within the CB community. This setup highlights the enduring innovation within the CB realm, adapting technologies like Packet Radio for a different user base. It underscores the versatility of radio communication, even on less conventional bands, for those interested in digital data exchange beyond the typical amateur allocations.

Over 47 full-screen maps are available within _NAOMI_ (North American Overlay Mapper), a free Windows program designed for US and Canadian amateur radio enthusiasts. This mapping suite includes 9 backgrounds such as CQ Zones, ITU Zones, and ARRL Sections, along with 16 foreground layers like Counties, Areacodes, and Grid Locators. Users can calculate distances and bearings, track real-time mouse positions with continuous Grid-Locator data, and integrate with APRS for live station tracking via the FindU database. For a global perspective, the _Global Overlay Mapper_ (GOM) provides a world map, 8 continental maps, and 29 sub-continental maps, all with 12 active layers including Country Outlines, CQ/ITU Zones, and Prefix information. Both NAOMI and GOM offer feature-locate systems to jump to positions based on prefixes, capital cities, or Grid Locators, and provide customized beam headings and distance displays. The site also features _LogView_, a post-contest log visualization tool that analyzes Cabrillo-format logs by plotting QSOs on maps, supporting over 30 major contests like CQWW and ARRL DX, and allowing comparison with published results.

Small, but growing, group of amateur radio enthusiasts, most of whom are within 90 miles of Atlanta, are interested in promoting the development of the branch of amateur radio known as QRP - building and operating low power transmitters, receivers and transceivers.

The Construction Principles for Duoband-Yagis 2m/70cm by DK7ZB

This online article provides a list of individuals who hold or have held amateur radio callsigns, detailing their public recognition. The resource identifies specific callsigns such as **K1JT** (Joe Taylor, Nobel Prize in Physics), **W6OBB** (Art Bell, syndicated radio personality), and **JY1** (King Hussein of Jordan), linking them to their non-amateur achievements. It also notes operational statuses like _Silent Key_ for deceased operators and _lapsed callsign_ for inactive licenses. The article includes information on callsign changes due to vanity callsign programs and provides examples of individuals involved in specific technical areas, such as Percy L. Spencer (**W1GBE**), inventor of the microwave oven, and Jay Kolinsky (**NE2Q**), inventor of electronic sirens. It also references amateur radio involvement in _space missions_ for individuals like Owen Garriot (**W5LFL**) and Helen Sharman (**GB1MIR**).

Over 1.5 million US amateur radio call signs are managed by the FCC, and this online service assists operators in finding available vanity call signs. Users can specify desired **call sign suffixes** to narrow down search results, which are drawn directly from the current FCC database. The platform clarifies that some valid call signs, never previously held since online FCC record-keeping began, may not appear in search results; for such cases, a separate "call lookup" function is recommended to verify availability before applying. The service provides crucial guidance on the application process, noting that applications should generally not be filed before the indicated "Available Date" unless the applicant is a former holder or a close family member. It also dispels the common misconception that call signs are granted on a first-come, first-served basis on any given day. Instead, all applications received on a particular day are metaphorically "thrown into a hat," with a winner randomly selected. This mechanism ensures fairness in the assignment of highly sought-after **vanity call signs** across the US amateur radio community.

The DK7ZB-Quadruple-Quadlong for the 2 meter Band

URLog, version 0.1.10, functions as a freeware amateur radio logging application designed for basic QSO record-keeping. The software provides core functionalities for inputting contact details, including callsign, date, time, frequency, and mode, which are fundamental for maintaining an amateur radio logbook. Its design emphasizes ease of use, making it accessible for operators who require straightforward logging capabilities without extensive advanced features. The application's utility lies in its simplicity for everyday logging tasks, particularly for those who prefer a local software solution over web-based loggers. While specific data formats supported are not detailed, standard logging practices suggest ADIF compatibility for export, facilitating integration with other ham radio software or online logbooks. The software's compact download size of approximately 4.5 MB indicates a lean installation, minimizing system resource usage.
