ZR is an independent newsletter promoting tech innovation in AR. Now in its 4th year with 2200+ subs. #hamradio

@dlarc Given all the trouble archive.org has been going through; is there any effort to backup/archive the #dlarc elsewhere? I know the torrents are available on every item's page, but that isn't practical for a large project like this, and isn't discoverable without archive.org being up. Hopefully they are around forever, but the dlarc is a treasure, and should be in a few places.

Just arrived on my desk — 160+ episodes of Ham Radio & More, a radio show that aired 1991 through 1997. These have never been heard since their original air date. I've started to digitize them.

These pictures show just half of the cassettes that need to be digitized!

I was interviewed in the new episode of the Radio Survivor podcast about the Digital Library of Amateur Radio and Communications. Such a fun conversation. https://www.radiosurvivor.com/2023/11/podcast-335-digital-library-of-amateur-radio-and-communications/

There are thousands of books and magazines in the #dlarc #hamradio library now — but I'm particularly proud that we just added this one. Archie’s Ham Radio Adventure, the 1986 comic book. Read it here: https://archive.org/details/archieshamradioa00unse

Holy moly, the #dlarc #hamradio library has surpassed 75,000 items! Newsletters, podcasts, books, long-lost items! Here's the blog post about it! https://blog.archive.org/2023/05/03/dlarc-75000/

It's a new month, which means a new batch of #AmateurRadio #newsletters. the #DLARC digital library has just added: Bella Vista (Arkansas) Radio Club Signal (https://archive.org/details/BVRC_Signal_2023-05), Palomar Amateur Radio Club's Scope (https://archive.org/details/parc_Scope_2023-05), and Surrey (UK) Amateur Radio Communications (https://archive.org/details/sarc-communicator-2023-05)

How about some Irish amateur radio newsletters? Just added to the #dlarc #hamradio #library 139 issues of Echo Ireland and EiNews, from our friends at the Irish Radio Transmitters Society. https://archive.org/details/irish-radio-transmitters-society

Added to #dlarc: The Google Earth Ham Repeaters Overlay Project — a set of KML files for Google Earth based on the RepeaterBook.com database https://archive.org/details/google-earth-ham-repeaters-overlay-project

I just added to the #dlarc library 343 issues of The GARzette, the #newsletter of the Gwinnett (Georgia) Amateur Radio Society. https://archive.org/details/gwinnett-amateur-radio-society

#dlarc has added even more archives of early Internet e-mail discussion lists about #hamradio topics: ham-space-digest (about satellite communications, talking with astronauts, etc) and ham-ant-digest (about antennas). Both collections span all of 1993 through November 1994.

Find them at https://archive.org/details/ham-space-digest and https://archive.org/details/ham-ant-digest

Today's issue of Zero Retries ("an independent newsletter about technological innovation in Amateur Radio") talks glowingly about #dlarc and lots of other interesting #hamradio topics. https://zeroretries.substack.com/p/zero-retries-0084

Added to #dlarc: a selection of 315 #newsletters — going back to 1960 — from Quarter Century Wireless Association, an organization for #amateurradio operators who were licensed as such at least a 25 years ago https://archive.org/details/qcwa #qcwa

Added to #dlarc: all 173 episodes of the Ham Radio Workbench #podcast https://archive.org/details/ham-radio-workbench?sort=-date

Added to #dlarc: 211 issues of The Radiogram, the award-winning monthly #newsletter of Portage County (Ohio, USA) #AmateurRadio Service. https://archive.org/details/pcars-radiogram?sort=-date

Just added to #dlarc ~700 issues of "Ham Policy Digest" from 1993-1994. It was an early Internet e-mail discussion list about #hamradio regulations, the "future of ham radio" (a future now long past!) and related subjects. https://archive.org/details/ham-policy-digest

We're adding so much stuff to the #dlarc library that it's hard to keep from spamming Mastodon with the details. I've decided to spam away — we want you to know about all these great #hamradio resources.

Added to the #dlarc #library: 503 issues of Radio & Television News spanning 1919-1959. It was also called Radio Amateur News or simply Radio News at various times in its life.
