KD6PAG'S Old Amateur Radio Page

These are fragments of the original home page which haven't been refiled yet.

If you want to get started in Amateur Radio, or, you've got your license and aren't sure where to get help, there are folks on the Internet out there to help you. The Elmers List includes people from a variety of backgrounds who have volunteered to help people out. That version is a fairly recent copy of a periodic posting, which is archived automatically at RTFM.MIT.Edu

(The local copy has been formatted for the WWW and points to the most recent version and as well as to lots of other useful information. Not all of the links therein may function by the time you see this, but it should help you find the right version.)

Also on-line is the national band plan according to NTIA (National Telecommunications and Information Adminstration).

Newsline has a WWW edition, if you don't receive it over the air at a convenient time for you locally.

A few clubs of note include Bradley University Amateur Radio Club, the JPLARC, W6BB (the U.C. Berkeley Amateur Radio Club -- in progress), W6YX (Stanford Amateur Radio Club), and this does not include many very deserving entries which really ought to be included.

A number of other Organizations with Web pages can be found at NCSU.

Other references which still need organizing:

This tends to be what where things found via news and e-mail go until they can be explored and/or properly documented.

Philips Semiconductor has a page which includes A Quick Look At Digital Video, and also a glossary of technical terms.

Yahoo There is good discussion of Spread Spectrum digital communications, including a waiver they were able to obtain to some of the restrictions on amatuer spread spectrum and a satellite they are designing to use this. Therein is also explanation of an opportunity for your own project to be covered by this waiver. Read it carefully, as this covers a fairly specific form of spread spectrum and probably won't apply to some random Part 15 devices that you buy off-the-shelf.

Ham Radio Outlet (HRO) is now on the net, as http://www.hamradio.com and includes some useful links as well as a decent part of their catalog. (Radio City, Inc. is also on-line, but currently only has a catalog order form.)

UARL has a callbook server which is updated daily from the FCC database.

Hams on USENET (those who have posted to rec.radio.amateur.*), this copy includes updates to more commonly found versions.

Here's an ATV Web page for Southern and Central California.
