This resource provides a historical listing of **unlicensed amateur radio beacons** active in the United States as of December 1993, specifically detailing both **LOWFER** (Low Frequency Experimental Radio) and **MEDFER** (Medium Frequency Experimental Radio) operations. The data includes beacon frequencies in kilocycles (Kc), identification codes, state locations, and the callsigns or names of the beacon operators. Frequencies range from 166.667 Kc for LOWFER to 1706.0 Kc for MEDFER, illustrating the spectrum utilized by these experimental stations. The information was originally compiled by Mark Burkart and relayed to the rec.radio.shortwave newsgroup by Rick Robinson, KF4AR. The list serves as a snapshot of experimental beacon activity from the early 1990s, offering insight into the types of operations and the individuals involved in unlicensed, low-power transmissions. It highlights specific beacon IDs like "ABC SC" on 510.5 Kc and "GK HI" on 1620 Kc, alongside operator details such as Todd Roberts (WD4NGG) and Herb Vanderbeek (WY6G). While not a current operational guide, it is a valuable historical document for those interested in the evolution of LF/MF experimental radio and the early days of internet-based amateur radio information sharing.

Club Russian Robinson for amateurs interested in radio communication from polar stations, islands and maritime mobile objects RRC founded in 1993. Goals are consolidation of radio amateurs, operating now or operated in the past on islands, drift-ice research, arctic and marine stations, signing their personal callsigns or as participants of DX-peditions.

Bangladesh Amateur Radio League. The national level organization for promoting HAM Radio activity in Bangladesh.

Offers a range of high-performance RF interconnect solutions, addressing the critical need for reliable signal integrity across diverse radio frequency applications. Their product line includes custom cable assemblies, various **RF connectors** (such as SMA), adapters, and terminators, designed to meet stringent specifications from DC up to 40 GHz. These components are essential for maintaining low insertion loss and excellent VSWR in demanding environments, from test benches to operational communication systems. The company specializes in providing tailored solutions for both commercial and government sectors, emphasizing precision manufacturing in Warner Robins, Georgia. Their offerings are crucial for engineers and operators requiring specific lengths, connector types, and performance characteristics for their radio equipment and test setups. Ensuring robust connections and protection against transient voltage events, their **surge protectors** are integrated into systems to safeguard sensitive electronics from damage, a common concern in outdoor or high-power installations.

Details the operational scope and maintenance requirements for the Gloucestershire Repeater Group's amateur radio repeater network. It outlines the financial obligations associated with site rent, electricity, insurance, and professional aerial maintenance, emphasizing the necessity of member support or donations for sustained operation. The resource provides information on accessing individual repeater systems via the site menu. It also announces the 2026 Annual General Meeting (AGM) details, including the date, time, and location at The Robins Nest, Cheltenham Town Football Club, noting the venue is shared with the Cheltenham Amateur Radio Association. The page highlights the availability of the repeaters to all licensed radio amateurs and details how to contribute to their upkeep through membership or direct donations.

This online tool is a specialized web-based utility for orchestrating multi-operator HF contest and DXpedition activities. This tool, _Rig2Cast_, assists station managers in meticulously planning operator shifts, ensuring adequate rest periods, and crucially, preventing operational conflicts such as assigning a single operator to multiple radios concurrently. It integrates support for SO2R operations and offers real-time simulation of operator requirements, a feature I've found invaluable in pre-event planning. The scheduling engine incorporates five distinct algorithms: greedy fairness balancing, round robin, maximum coverage, simulated annealing, and a fatigue-aware model. These algorithms enforce critical constraints like minimum/maximum shift durations and mandatory rest times across all radios, which directly impacts operator performance over long events. My field experience confirms that such robust constraint management is essential for maintaining peak efficiency during intense operations. Key features include distributed multi-station support, printable per-operator cards, flexible band activity windows, and real-time editable operator slots. The drag-and-drop shift management, coupled with full cross-radio swap support and smart constraint feedback (valid targets in green, invalid in red), streamlines complex scheduling tasks. The system's design ensures user data privacy, as no information is stored on the server; schedules are saved and reloaded locally.
