Macintosh shareware, contains the full pool of questions for each of the five exams, and creates sample tests that will vary each time you take them and it will grade your exam.

VHF – Based on realtime APRS reports. This map shows real-time radio propagation from stations operated near 144 MHz. It uses data gathered by Automatic Packet Reporting System-Internet Service (APRS-IS) from packet stations in the amateur radio service. The map shows activity from the past hour. Paths are smoothed to create a color-coded footprint indicating the distance VHF signals are likely to be traveling.

FCC_Call is a program that allows you to create a database from the FCC license records and to look-up the FCC records by call, name or city. It requires TRX-Manager or VB5 runtime installed.

Helps you study for the Ham Radio & FCC GROL exams. Often times, test questions are worded in ways; that fool you. RadioTelephone Tutor drills on missed questions, till you know the answers backwards and forwards. Can take entire question pools in straight, or random order. Creates a practice test; which represents what you would be given in a real exam.

Constructing a basic multimeter involves integrating a 0-1mA meter movement with various shunts and multipliers, selected via a switch, to create a versatile instrument capable of measuring DC volts, current, and resistance. The design outlines two main units: a primary unit handling six DC current ranges up to 1 amp and eight DC voltage ranges up to 1000 volts, alongside an internal battery for an ohms range up to 200,000 ohms. This approach allows for a practical, hands-on understanding of meter operation. An add-on unit further extends the multimeter's capabilities, incorporating a meter rectifier and switched series resistors to provide four AC voltage ranges up to 100 volts. Additional shunt and series resistors, designated Ra and Rb, are included to expand the instrument's range to 10A and 5kV, demonstrating how modular design can enhance functionality. When this add-on is in use, the main instrument is set to measure 1mA FSD, connecting via specific lugs. Component selection emphasizes precision, with 1% tolerance high stability resistors for series elements and Eureka resistance wire for shunts. The design specifies values calculated for a meter with 60 ohms internal resistance, noting that these would require modification for different meter characteristics. Experimental adjustment of shunt values is recommended to ensure accurate readings against a calibrated reference meter, reinforcing practical calibration techniques.

TyQSL provides a web-based online logbook platform, enabling users to manage all QSOs from any device with features like fast ADIF import, supporting up to **100,000 QSOs** per file. The platform facilitates real-time uploads to services such as _Clublog_ and _eQSL_, either automatically or with a single click, ensuring logs are current across multiple platforms. Operators can manage multiple callsigns and create various logbooks within a single account, allowing for flexible QSO organization. The integrated logger features a streamlined layout with live DXCC checking, duplicate QSO alerts, and autofill for satellite operations. It also supports one-click logging from _WSJT-X_. Users can share public profiles, displaying QSO statistics and searchable logbooks, enhancing community interaction. A PRO account offers additional features like an interactive QSO map, showing worked grids and future activities of other users.

Over 25 years of experience in custom brass casting informs the production of personalized amateur radio call sign belt buckles. These solid brass buckles are crafted using traditional sand casting methods, ensuring a unique, durable product for radio operators. Each piece is hand-poured and polished in Washington State, reflecting a commitment to quality craftsmanship. The manufacturing process begins with a customer's idea, which is then translated into a graphic proposal. Upon approval, patterns are created for the custom edition. An antique foundry press compresses specially formulated sand around these patterns, followed by hand-pouring molten brass into the molds. After cooling, the castings are sandblasted, inspected, and meticulously polished by skilled craftsmen. Northwest Brass Works provides a lifetime guarantee on the buckle hardware, offering repair or replacement for any breakage. They also offer guidance on maintaining the polished luster of the brass using products like _Nevr-Dull_, ensuring the buckle's longevity and appearance for many years of wear.

Hamlog is online cloud platform for active amateur radio operators. It supports various on the air activities of various clubs, associations and national amateur radio organizations, allows them to create award programs and deliver awards to those who earned them. Hamlog also has a built-in real-time logger, which allows operators to enter QSO in the system as they make them. It supports multiple callsigns, multiple locations, multi-station activities, etc. Soon it will allow to connect transceivers and other ham radio devices right to the browser, allowing easy online logging virtually anywhere.

This page offers the latest version of SIMPLEX, a freeware program designed for hams to create and manage radio repeaters. Compatible with Windows XP and higher, in 32 & 64-bits, SIMPLEX supports English and French languages. Linux/Ubuntu/Android users can use WINE 1.0 or CROSSOVER to run the program. SIMPLEX allows the creation of simplex, duplex, transponder, and mixed repeaters, with features like survey functions and time/weather beacons. The package includes a DTMF encoder for testing codes. Suitable for ham radio operators looking to set up and manage their repeater systems.

This page presents the K4 S-Meter Recorder, a tool designed for the Elecraft K4 radio by hams. The tool collects S-Meter readings and saves them to a CSV file, allowing users to create graphs of RFI over time. These graphs are valuable during RFI hunting, aiding in pinpointing the source. Visitors can view the program's interface, download it at their own risk, and subscribe to the blog for updates. The page provides insights into the K4 S-Meter Recorder's functionality and usage for ham radio operators seeking to manage RFI effectively.
