Keeping those antennas in the air !


Tying antennas to towers, poles and trees can be a very confusing task unless you know how to do it properly. Unfortunately not everyone had the pleasure of being a boy scout or sailor.

If you want to know just about everything regarding tying knots, it is worth your while spending some time at the well documented website Animatedknots by Grog.

Every knot in the world is explained in a manner that anyone can understand. Just choose your category and find the right knot for the specific application....and you are done !

I hope it will help to keep those antennas up for good.

WorldRadio Online now available free !

WorldRadio Online is a monthly publication by CQ Communications, Inc.


A magazine about the current state of amateur radio containing many great DIY articles etc. It may be downloaded at no cost with no hidden agendas by the publisher.
CQ bought the magazine WorldRadio and are now publishing WorldRadio Online as a 21st century manifestation of the popular old print magazine following the decision by the original WorldRadio Publisher Armond Noble, N6WR, to retire and sell the magazine.
Radio Amateurs can subscribe to the magazine via email notification or download the current issue at the WorldRadio Online web site. Back-issues are also available for downloading.
Highly recommended reading and it's all free. Let CQ know what you think of their new publication.

Comprehensive list of South African Radio Amateur websites.

During my web surfing the last few months, it became clear that there are many SA Radio Amateurs with their own websites and blogs....the only problem is to find them on the web ! After a lot of effort I managed to find a few.

My aim is to provide the most comprehensive link list of SA Amateurs on my blog in order for others to surf the sites.

Should you have a website or blog which is not listed in my Links list, please advise me by e mail.
