In 1996, the article, "A New 'Band' For Your Radio" was published in QST that sparked the interest in ham radio communication via the Internet.
A small group of pioneers have combined amateur radio and cyberspace in a very direct way, creating new global gateways. DX contacts are possible through a local repeater and conversely a distant repeater is available through your computer.
