Ham radio transmissions can interfere with television reception. This is called television interference, or ham radio TVI. Consumer adoption of cable television has significantly reduced ham radio TVI. But the introduction of IPTV, or television over phone systems, has brought ham radio TVI back, often with a vengeance. Here's why

Mitigating impulse-type noise, a common challenge in the **HF radio spectrum**, often requires specialized processing before the signal reaches the transceiver's receiver stages. The NR-1 addresses this by functioning as an RF interference removal device, specifically a noise blanker, targeting transient noise sources. Its operational range extends from 1.6 MHz to beyond 70 MHz, making it suitable for various amateur radio bands and general shortwave listening applications. Unlike QRM eliminators or X-phasers, the NR-1 does not require a separate noise antenna for its operation, simplifying its integration into existing station setups. The device's design focuses on wideband performance, allowing its use both within and outside the allocated amateur radio frequencies. Documentation detailing its operation is available, providing insights into its technical specifications and deployment. This unit is a hardware product, conceptualized and implemented by SV3ORA.

The Digital Communications Interconnect (DCI) resource details the operational philosophy and technical implementation of an open _MotoTRBO_ IPSC network, emphasizing the use of _c-Bridge_ technology for interconnecting DMR repeaters and talkgroups. It outlines the group's mission to facilitate dynamic connections within the regional DMR amateur radio community by openly sharing network resources and talkgroups, promoting independent network growth and exploring the capabilities of c-Bridge linking. The site provides insights into the technical advantages of c-Bridges, such as breaking the finite peer slot limitation of simple IPSC networks and enabling more flexible talkgroup routing beyond two timeslots. This legacy asset, last updated in October 2022, also reflects on the group's history and challenges encountered in national DMR efforts, citing political divisiveness among major c-Bridge groups. It discusses the practical application of c-Bridges for emergency communications and nets, ensuring redundant talkgroup servers for smooth day-to-day operations and priority events. The resource encourages other c-Bridge operators to adopt international talkgroups like "_iCall Talkgroup_" and a nationwide "Emergency Talkgroup," while also offering guidance on affiliating repeaters or IPSC networks with DCI's open network.

The sudden explosion of new digital modes has taken the Amateur Radio world by storm. New modes such as PSK31 FT8 JT65 FSK441, ISCAT as well as established modes such as RTTY, SSTV, Hellschreiber and others have rocketed in popularity. In order to use these modes all that is required is a simple computer-to-radio interface which couples the computer soundcard to the radio

The Intercontinental Amateur Traffic Net (Intercon) operates daily on 14.300 MHz, providing a platform for emergency communications and facilitating third-party traffic among amateur radio operators. Established in 1960, the net aims to foster goodwill and friendly relations within the ham community. It operates from 0700 to 1200 Eastern Time, with a focus on monitoring emergency traffic while encouraging operators to maintain a distance of at least 5 kHz to avoid interference. All licensed General Class operators and above are welcome to check in, using standard phonetics for clarity. The net features rotating Net Control Station (NCS) operators every hour, ensuring a diverse range of voices and experiences. Operators are encouraged to provide relays and assist with emergency traffic when necessary. While there is currently no membership for non-NCS operators, opportunities exist for those interested in becoming NCS operators. The net emphasizes professionalism and courtesy, making it a valuable resource for both emergency communications and casual check-ins.

IAT is an excel sheet table evaluate parameters of VHF UHF antennas edited by Vladimir UR5EAZ. The difference between this tool and the existing VE7BQH Antenna Table is the use of G / T and C / N instead of the G / Ta parameter. In this table, Vladimir applies the ITU recommendations to assess the noise properties of a radio receiving system and shows the advantage of the G / T concept over the G / Ta concept when choosing an antenna.
