Purpose

Create my amateur radio web page using HTML only - without gimmicks and gadgets slowing down your browser. Any machine (Atari, Mac, PC, or whatsoever workstation) should be able to read this page - even the so-called "obsoletes" with a small and monochrome screen like MacClassic or AtariST. This implies that my site isn't so colourful as you may be acustomed to, but it will be reasonably good looking even viewed as a grey-scale picture.

Goal

Develop a site for navigating through useful information:

Text documents which seem interesting to me (and others?)
Small graphics and pictures, provided in PDF-format
Links to selected sites of my personal preference

For the future I'm planning to post here additional information dealing with practical projects I'm working on. Recently I designed a Morse-code driven user interface for microcontroller-based applications, used with a DDS-controlled VFO for a shortwave receiver and transmitter (DDS = Direct Digital Synthesis, AD9850).

Personal Preferences

Mostly I prefer using Morse telegraphy (CW) on the shortwave bands, especially with simple homebrew gear. I like to work on the 18MHz band with low power output (QRP).

Playground

This section is experimental and shows links to additional information and websites.
