Hamsphere

Posted: 27 May 2021 01:21 PM PDT http://g3xbm-qrp.blogspot.com/2021/05/hamsphere.html


Hamsphere is a form of "virtual" amateur radio that uses the internet
rather than the ionosphere as the bearer. Unlike "real" radio, it does not
need HF rigs or antennas. It is ideal perhaps for those unable to
use "real" radio, for example those in flats or care homes. It does not
appeal to me.

Please let me know about any issues with the www.g3xbm.co.uk website. Hopefully all schematics are readable. If not, shout.
Also, if you spot pages with wrong or absent images, let me know so I can
put this right.
Most pages should be OK, but I am only human and am bound to have something wrong. My aim is to correct any errors or omissions as soon as possible.
This is only possible if people point these out! 😄

In a few moments I hope to go on 10m FT8 RX with the tiny indoor loop
antenna.
