Hi, everyone.

You’ll note at the bottom of the sidebar I’ve turned the former Useful Links (which had all of two sites) into Ham Radio Links, and then added a Weather Links box beneath that. I hope you’ll find them useful. If you would like to see other sites listed in either category, send me an e-mail at bryoncannon@gmail.com.

Bryon, KAØIIU
