The Ham Weblog Website Review [Our Original Page]
|
| What's Old Sol up to today? Check WWV Propagation. |
|
This site's oriented toward the builder. If you need oscillators, this is the place to look!
One question I do have is why Bliley made it so difficult to reference the following links?
Their page masks the referenced page URL's, which is rather surprising. Oh, well......... |
Sub-headed "Test Your Broadband Connection," the site contains a wide range of utilities
that let you check out your Internet connection. I haven't incluced live links
here, because you really should read the brief description first. There is some
neat stuff here, though!!
|
Never hurts to have "comparison-shopping," HI! Lots of stuff on this site....
I'm serious, this site drills deep!! Here's an example of what I mean: Got a contest or other special event on the horizon? WWDX PSC will prepare a custom propagation forcast for you---they say it's FREE. Just check out their "Special Propcast" info on the main page. |
| I didn't know they were involved in photographic equipment! Well, I guess they are; but, go to the Amateur Radio page. |
More surprises.....Of course I knew they made Paddles and Keys! But I didn't know
they made Antennas and Filters. Check it out: |
| If you've been around ham radio awhile, and ever worked a Vibroplex, you'll find youself gazing longingly at these keys!! Only question I have....Why use a pin in a Post-It for email when you've got a "Gold Bug" to use????? C'mon guys!! |
| In addition to current models, Vibroplex supports older model keys as well: |
|
In addition to parts, Vibroplex also includes Adjustment Instructions (by type): |
| *Another little glitch--no instructions or image. Hey Vibroplex....A 'lil help here??? |
| I know, maybe I'm spending a bit too much time here.....but, this site's got sooo much on it, and The Bug has such a prominent place in amateur radio...... | |
|
Ok, just one more thing and I'll let go of this, ok? You goin' to Dayton this year???
Well, here's the scoop, directly from the website: |
|
Actually, I'd heard a rumor over the weekend that Kendecom had gone out of business.
So, I figured I'd check this out. Well, as you see, the site does rename the company
and redirect the URL to Advanced Communication System.
Good news!! The new link not only works, but also looks great. Also good news is that the KRP5000 repeater is still apparently alive and doing well. |
Other products listed at ACS include: |
| But who is this parent company, Advanced Communication System(s)? I guess we'll have to wait awhile. The "Home" link on the site doesn't "go" anwhere. And, the "Questions" link takes you to the ubiquitous "Under Construction"! |
