What the ham radio newsletters
are saying about HamInfoBar...
"... a friend of mine sent the below link to me for
review. First, let me say, I am not a big fan of cluttering up my browser with a
zillion tool bars. I was skeptical but decided to download and try it anyway. I
was pleasantly surprised to find THIS tool bar full of useful ham related
features and information. I have scrutinized and beta tested it with a fine
tooth comb. I can honestly say this one is a keeper for sure. Go to the below
link and download the tool bar.
You will not be disappointed."

Got this link from one of the NFARL guys, Victor,
KI4HPX, and it is to a site where you can download a Toolbar for your Web
Browser. Let me tell you, it take you to more places then you will ever want to
go! Give it a try, I think you will find it interesting to say the least.

Searching the net one
day caused me to come across ham tool bar. http://www.haminfobar.co.uk/ After a
while of reading about it I did download it and install it. It is pretty neat
and provides convenient access to all kinds of radio related things like
manufacturers, ham's sites, technical sources and other ways to waist time and
be entertained. Take a look.

HamInfoBar
was launched on August 10th 2007 and was designed by me - G0DPC with the aim to serve radio hams & short wave

hope that this free tool will be useful on a daily basis working
hand in hand with the hobby.
