HamLinks toolbar offers new features

by Scot, K9JY

HamLinks, a toolbar for your Internet browser devoted to Ham Radio, has been updated with a couple of really cool features.

Ham Links Toolbar

From the release:

There is now direct access to the great AmateurLogic.TV ham radio TV show. If you haven’t seen this yet, it’s a fun look at ham radio and techy topics (WiFi hacking, etc.).

In the HamLinks forum, a request was made to allow users to add their own RSS feeds. I did a bit of coding to allow for that. If you have a Conduit toolbar and want to add a blog or RSS feed, now end users can do it with my form.

I’ve installed the toolbar on my browser and it is a good addition. Solar numbers, ham radio blog feeds without a feed reader (including this site!), local WX, UTC clock, and WWV’s current HF propagation forecast are all easily accessible from the toolbar.

N0HR has done a nice job with this toolbar. Take a look and decide for yourself!
