Here at the Ham Radio Community Chapter I like to share some world wide Ham Radio news to keep you informed of what is happening around the globe, KD4SAI.  Roland .

You will need RealAudio 5. You can obtain a FREE player for this at the Real Audio site. Just click on the real Audio image aside.

For the last year
these broadcasts, read by Jeremy Boot, G4NJH, have also been available
on this page in RealAudio. So you can hear them any time
to suit you on the links below.

All you need to do
is to click on the RealAudio logo and - hey presto - assuming
you have installed RealAudio, that's it. You can save the
file(s) by clicking on the link in the right hand column. But beware of
this: the files are large. Far better (and cheaper) to listen to what you
want "live".

The
Effect of the RealAudio Bulletins

 Although
the idea was to provide fellow amateurs with a convenient new service,
there have been some surprising extra spin offs:

• The bulletins are now heard much more widely than before
• You can hear them at any time
• They are useful to those with visual impairment
• They are carried world wide by other Radio Amateur News Services
• They are heard "live" on Sundays on Internet Gateways

In addition, excerpts
of the News are now carried many weeks by US, Canada, Australia and South Africa Amateur Radio Society news services and also by some Commercial Radio DX news programmes such as those on HCJB in Ecuador!
