How to use this page.

I have the page broken up in to several parts, each one devoted to a part of the hobby. As of now, there are 4 sub-pages: The CW Cafe, The Packitree's Hub, Elmer's Shop, and the "welcome to the Hobby" page.

The CW Cafe

The CW Cafe is a page totally devoted to CW and the HF bands. This is the page to find information on ways to learn CW, how to set up antennas, and what are good radios and bad radios.

The first part of this page is News, a place to info on up to date solar conditions, what the FCC is doing in regards to the HF bands, and what contests are going and where.

The next part is the learning center, which is the biggest of this collection. The learning center has info on New Radios, Old Radios, Antennas, and How to Learn CW, which is the most asked question of ham radio newbies.

The Packitree's Hub

This page is all about digital modes!! Yes the most advertise frontier in amateur radio. This page covers all of the modes from RTTY to Packet to PSK31, and more!! One small collection will be given to each mode, so that you can find the most information on each mode possible.

Each Mode Collection will have a Band plane, Description, and How to section to it. This way there is nothing left out.

Elmer's Shop

This is the place to ask all of your really hard question. This collection we be all about the really techy side of the hobby. You may ask "What do you mean techy?" Well that's up to you!! This will be where I keep a database of all the questions asked during our on air nets in Spokane on the KBARA system , and all the questions I get sent to me via e-mail. You can also find out how to become an Elmer and help me out, I don't every thing.

Welcome to the Hobby

This is a page all about hobby of Ham Radio, how it got started, where it has been, and where you can fit in. It also has information on how to become a ham, and how to get involved in the hobby. I hope this inspires all you to help get our hobby alive!!
