The Midland Amateur Radio Club is celebrating their 60 year anniversary. The local hams spent the all day Saturday reaching out to other ham radio operators around the world. They took the challenge of […]

Hacked Gadgets’ Web site sponsored a workbench contest. This should have strong Ham Radio operator appeal as there are some good shop layout and storage ideas here.
