What the ham radio newsletters
are saying about HamInfoBar...

"... a friend of mine sent the below link to me for review. First, let me say, I am not a big fan of cluttering up my browser with a zillion tool bars. I was skeptical but decided to download and try it anyway. I was pleasantly surprised to find THIS tool bar full of useful ham related features and information. I have scrutinized and beta tested it with a fine tooth comb. I can honestly say this one is a keeper for sure. Go to the below link and download the tool bar.
You will not be disappointed."

Got this link from one of the NFARL guys, Victor, KI4HPX, and it is to a site where you can download a Toolbar for your Web Browser. Let me tell you, it take you to more places then you will ever want to go! Give it a try, I think you will find it interesting to say the least.

HAMINFOBAR INFO

 

HamInfoBar was launched on August 10th 2007 and was designed by me - G0DPC with the aim to serve radio hams & short wave listeners with a wealth of radio related information that can be accessed while surfing any web page on the internet! It is my hope that this free tool will be useful on a daily basis working hand in hand with the hobby.

HamInfoBar is 100% freeware and will remain that way. Requires NO registration and contains NO spyware.

The nature of this toolbar is that it can easily adapt to its users - if you have any good links or ideas that would benefit other users please email me so I may consider it's inclusion. Comments and suggestions are always welcome!

If you have a ham radio related site HamInfoBar is very happy to exchange links. Visit our Reciprocal links page here for details

Thank you for your interest in HamInfoBar,

73, John G0DPC
