Expanding your coverage #ARRL #hamradio

When you put up a repeater, you put it up so you have maximum range. For example, put up BD224 rather than a wire dipole and add an amplifier. 

In social media, putting up an account doesn’t mean much if no one listens to the account. 

Just as in ham radio, drawing users to your repeater gets listeners to hear your information. One way to do that is nets. 

The hashtag is a tool to bring more listeners to your message, somewhat like a net would increase your listeners. 

As the message stated millions participated in the one-day even. That’s over 700 million per a State. 

Ham radio hashtags such as #hamradio or #ARRL are important. Just as important are local hashtags for an event. For example, #Skywarn training in Oklahoma would use #OKwx to magnify the message. 

Put up your repeater and social media accounts. Make both attractive to listeners.

December 2020 Radio HF Internet Newsletter

Here's a handy Ham Radio newsletter from up north a ways.  Check it out.  Free and low volume.

Attached, in Word and PDF versions, is the December 2020 edition of the Radio HF Internet Newsletter.  My apologies for the very late delivery of this month's edition.  I've been very busy with many things this month and the time has just flown by.  Hopefully things will settle down and I'll be able to get things back on schedule.  You can make my job much easier by sending along a few links to some interesting websites that you might stumble on.  Why not make it a New Year's resolution to send along a link from time to time throughout 2021?  Wouldn't that be great?

From Darlene and I, we wish you, your family and friends the merriest Christmas and the happiest New Year.  Let's all hope for a better 2021 than this challenging year of 2020.

Stay safe and healthy.
