WiMo for a world without hunger
WiMo for a world without hunger

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: ...

Have you already bought your Christmas presents? (... before it's too late...)

... 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...

Time for inspection: Antenna system winterised?
Time for inspection: Antenna system winterised?

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...

Typos are a thing of the past!

From now on, we use address data validation in the online shop.

You mistype your delivery address? No problem for WiMo!

The new address data validation identifies simple typing errors and generates a corrected address data suggestion. The best part - you decide. Does the corrected version fits or is the algorithm wrong and no correction is necessary.

 

What are the advantages for me?

- Delivery delays are minimised due to omitted consultations,

- Additional shipping costs due to undeliverable shipments can be avoided.

 

We hope the extension will support you when shopping at...

USKA Hamfest 2021
USKA Hamfest 2021
This weekend, the traditional Hamfest 2021 of the USKA will take place in Möriken (CH). And actually we from WiMo wanted to be there as exhibitors to talk and celebrate with our customers and friends from Switzerland. Unfortunately, however, the Corona pandemic threw a spanner in the works this year too. The USKA took every possible care to make the meeting as safe as possible. Nevertheless, the risk seemed too high for the WiMo staff members concerned, as personal perceptions differ from person to person. Nevertheless, we wish all amateur radio friends in Switzerland and the organisers of the USKA all the best for the Hamfest, lots of fun at the get-together, and with the hope...
