QRZ Blocks Russian Ham Radio Callsigns

Post author By admin
Post date March 4, 2022

Whilst the invasion of Ukraine by Russia happens, many governments around the world have sanctioned Russia for their military action against a innocent country and people.

This seems to have now spilled over into the ham radio community with QRZ announcing that they will be banning the search function and viewing of Russian and Belarus callsigns.

It’s always been a goal of mine to work the USA on the 6 meter band. With Solar Cycle 25 on the rise, chances are becoming more and more frequent. A yagi is essential to working the long haul DX on 6!

THIS IS WHERE IT ALL STARTED

Post author By admin
Post date January 10, 2022

Going through some old Amateur Radio magazines, I found some articles that I had written which reminded me where it all started. I was only about 13 years old!

Pretty cringe, but I guess it was over 17 years ago!
