From The K\u00d8NR Weblog<\/a>
\nOne of the recent trends on the Internet is the use of Weblogs (commonly called “blogs”). Some of these are on-line journals; some are related to a particular topic or point of view. I’ve spent some time searching for ham radio related blogs and have come across these:<\/p>\n

* KB6NU’s Ham Radio Blog http:\/\/kb6nu.com\/
\n * Long Delayed Echoes (KE9V) http:\/\/ke9v.net\/
\n * Hamblog (a shared blog with multiple contributors) http:\/\/www.hamblog.com\/
\n * The Future of Radio (ham radio index) http:\/\/futureofradio.typepad.com\/the_future_of_radio\/ham_radio\/index.html
\n * Amateur Radio and Scanner Blog http:\/\/wa3fkg.blogspot.com\/
\n * Shedberg (Scott Hedberg KD7PJQ) http:\/\/www.livejournal.com\/users\/shedberg\/
\n * W2LJ’s Blog – QRP and Amateur Radio http:\/\/w2lj.blogspot.com\/
\n * K7VO Ham Radio Blog http:\/\/k7vo.blogspot.com\/<\/p>\n

Let me know what you find out there in the blog-o-sphere.<\/p>\n

My favorite amateur radio blogs are:
\n * KB6NU’s Ham Radio Blog http:\/\/kb6nu.com\/<\/p>\n

… from his website<\/i>
\nWho the Heck is KB6NU?<\/p>\n

I got an e-mail from a guy who noted that he couldn\u2019t find my name anywhere on this website. I looked and he\u2019s right. So, here\u2019s a little bit about me. I\u2019m going to figure out a way for a link to this post to appear on one of the nav bars so that readers can find it more easily\u2026.<\/p>\n

My name is Dan Romanchik, and I\u2019m just a guy who\u2019s having fun with ham radio.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m 50 years old, and have been a ham for 34 years, although for most of those years, I wasn\u2019t very active. I have been very active since the summer of 2002, after I got the bug again after working some CW at our club\u2019s Field Day. Since then, I have:<\/p>\n

* made more than 4,000 contacts, mostly on CW,
\n * increased my code speed to almost 30 wpm,
\n * built a bunch of kits and other stuff (including an Elecraft KX1 handheld HF transceiver),
\n * worked a bunch of contests and have even garnered a few certificates from doing so,
\n * taught a General Class license course the past two years,
\n * become president of ARROW<\/a>, a club that serves ham in and around Ann Arbor, MI, and
\n * been appointed Affiliated Club Coordinator for the Michigan section.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m no \u201csuper ham.\u201d I don\u2019t have a 120-ft. tower with a three-element 40m beam on it. I don\u2019t own a $10,000 transceiver, and I haven\u2019t yet been on a DXpedition. I am having a lot of fun, though.<\/p>\n

…. my other favorite amateur radio blog is:<\/p>\n

* Stan Horzepa, WA1LOU, and his StanZapples web site (http:\/\/homepage.mac.com\/stanzapple\/Menu1.html).<\/p>\n

Stan has been a regular contributor to QST magazine and also put out a pretty good book on APRS. I enjoy reading his Friday column on the ARRL web site<\/a>: Surfin’<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
