A sign against hunger!
Christmas is the celebration of love and family. To gift a smile after a hard year 2021, we have chosen a project that we want to support, for a better future.
This year for Christmas we donated 5000€ support with the work of Welthungerhilfe. Our donation helps to train women in Ethiopia how to prevent malnutrition. Worldwide, one child under the age of five dies every ten seconds as a result of malnutrition. Through our commitment, we are taking an active role in creating prospects for mothers and children in need.
For more information about the campaign, go to: https://www.welthungerhilfe.org/donate/

The 'mother of all rotor controllers
The company microHAM s.r.o. (Slovakia) has been known for high-quality interfaces and accessories for radio equipment for many years. Now the manufacturer introduces a new universal rotor controller: the "ARCO". The name stands for Antenna Rotator Controller.
The ARCO is intended as a much more convenient replacement for any rotor control unit, regardless of manufacturer. The complex circuitry of the ARCO is designed to control almost any model of antenna rotator. So it doesn't matter if it's models from Yaesu, Create, SPID, Hygain, ProSisTel, M² and many more. The controller works with DC and AC motors, as sensor all common types (potentiometer, pulse, Hall encoder etc.) are handled. The extensive manual lists over 40 different rotor models that can be used. With the very widely used rotors from Yaesu,

As a radio amateur, we always try to bridge the greatest possible distances by radio. To do this, we have almost any means at our disposal: good antennas, sufficient power, some knowledge of physics - and special phenomena in the ionosphere. This is exactly what happens with the so-called meteor scatter. The ionosphere is the upper layers of the atmosphere, the thin skin of air that surrounds the Earth. Usually, solar radiation creates an electrical charge (ionisation) at certain altitudes, which in turn causes radio waves to reflect off these ionised

... we hear statements like this and similar ones every day in the news and in advertising. Just a few months ago it was toilet paper. Now it's affecting articles across the board. Panic? Or a serious situation? Is it all just marketing? Let me give you a brief update on the supply situation for amateur radio from our point of view.
As we have already published several times, we changed our stock management some time ago. We have managed to keep availability high and delivery times low thanks to the larger storage area and the resulting possibility to place larger orders with our suppliers. Of course, the size of our company, which has now become the norm, has also helped us to cope with this investment. Last but not least, the entire WiMo team has done a super job here, even in difficult situations during the last 18 months! We hope that we could convince you of our performance.
Since the beginning of this... -

Winter is coming and brings many a nasty surprise for radio amateurs. There is still time (and bearable weather) to think about preventive maintenance.
Yes, coaxial cables with a black sheath are UV-resistant. But this only means that they resist UV radiation from the sun longer than other materials, not forever. Because there is no 100% protection here either. The outer sheath of most coaxial cables offered today is made of PVC, which in itself offers good UV resistance. Adding black dyes (carbon black) improves this resistance even more. Nevertheless, cables used outdoors suffer, among other things, from acids such as those found in the exhaust air of chimneys. In addition, there is the constant movement around the rotor and UV radiation. Despite all protective measures, coaxial cables can become cracked after many years of outdoor use, allowing water to penetrate and permanently damage the cable at the latest with the next frost. But even without frost damage, water... -
