Most people would happily have skipped having the past weekend’s winter storm, but for amateur or “ham” radio operators, it was perfect timing. Saturday and Sunday already were scheduled as a nationwide Winter Field Day for the radio operators, an event aimed at practicing using their skills during adverse, wintry weather conditions. “It was absolutely fantastic for that,” said Steve Fazekas, a member of the Skyview Radio Society in Upper Burrell. On Sunday, 11.2 inches of sn

RTTY operation is coming up as soon as possible to give yet another mode to chase S21WD. Sun activity is still causing problems for daytime operation — recent solar flares haven’t helped — but we continue to enjoy very good North America openings during our sunrise and sunset runs across all high bands, and we’ve received lots of positive reports from station

The Belarusian government is threatening three ham radio operators with the death penalty, detained at least seven people , and has accused them of “intercepting state secrets,” according to Belarusian state media, independent media outside of Belarus, and the Belarusian human rights organization Viasna. The arrests are an extreme attack on what is most often a wholesome hobby that has a history of being vilified by authoritarian governments in part because the technology is

The new 60-meter frequencies approved by the FCC in December will become available to amateurs as of February 13, 2026, along with new power restrictions on those frequencies. It’s a bit confusing, as different rules apply to different segments of the band. The changes result from the FCC’s action to approve a worldwide 60-meter amateur allocation made by the World Radiocommunication Conference in 2015 (WRC-15). See   https://tinyurl.com/mt8p8jpa .
