This site is being designed to highlight a couple of interests -- Amateur Radio and  Weather Reporting  --  and how they are currently able to interact via a Personal Computer and TCP/IP connections utilizing the Internet .

Using "Today's" technology,  the world of Amateur Radio has expanded to include the use of Digital Radio Signals processed through Personal Computer Interfaces.  This includes many Modes from Radio Teletype (RTTY),  Amateur Satellite (AMSAT), and Slow Scan Television (SSTV),  to mention a few.

One of these Digital Modes actually allows me to send current weather conditions to the APRS network every 15 minutes, and also track my movement on a map when I am running 'Mobile" in my Van. To learn more about APRS visit the link in the Main Index on the menu to the left

Another very important mode utilizes the Winlink system and plays a key role in emergency communications allowing Amateur stations  to assist served agencies from inside a disaster area when normal Internet email servers or Internet links are downed or inoperable, and still keep them connected by sending and receiving regular Internet email routed via Ham radios, .
