Introduction
The Internet is great for ham radio! Hams can use the Internet to assist them in not only making contacts by studying propagation and DX spots, but also to confirm contacts and apply for awards! Contest sponsors now provide log checking reports so you can now identify areas for improvement. The Winlink system allows ham sailors to keep in touch with an Internet linked messaging. The Internet is now making remote operation practical.
