Surfin': Best of
the Web for 2004
By Stan Horzepa, WA1LOU
Contributing Editor
December 24, 2004
This week, your
intrepid Surfin' contributing editor goes out on a limb and picks the top
Amateur Radio Web sites of the year.
 At the top of the top ten list
of Amateur Radio Web sites is the one you are looking at now: ARRLWeb. |
'Tis the season when the media picks its fill-in-the-blank
of the year. For example, Time picked its person of the year (W), Sports
Illustrated picked its sportsman of the year (my Boston Red Sox), Mad
picked the 20 dumbest people, events, and things of the year (the Abu Ghraib
scandal was Mad's number one pick), etc. So, it seems appropriate that Surfin'
picks the top ten Amateur Radio Web sites of the year.
I am not a rocket scientist or any other kind of scientist
for that matter, so this may not be the most scientific top-10 list ever
compiled. However, the system I used to compile the list was simple, yet fair
and I believe the results are a very good representation of the most popular
Amateur Radio Web sites that exist at the end of the year 2004.
Without further ado, here are the top ten Web sites of
2004:
- ARRLWeb (You're looking at it!)
- AC6V's Amateur Radio and DX Reference Guide
with lots and lots of links
- QRZ.COM and its ever-popular license look-up
links
- The
Amateur Radio Web Ring, the
lord of rings of the Amateur Radio variety
- FCC:
Services: Amateur Radio
Service, Uncle Sam's radio folk
- Amateur Radio Newsline
- AMSAT, the Internet home of
- the Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation
- TAPR, the Web site of the Tucson Amateur Packet
Radio Corporation
- IARUWeb, the International Amateur Radio
Union's Web site
- Radio Amateurs of Canada, our ham brethren north
of the 49th parallel
Until next year, keep on surfin'.
