The earliest records of activity can be seen on the internet archive Wayback Machine website. The first archived page/s they have on there date to December 12th 2004. The second record on the site dates to January 29th 2005. These are a matter of public record and can be found at: Internet Archive Wayback Machine Also, When the site was hacked many years ago (due to the previous owner running PHP-Nuke, another free, poorly engineered script), the hackers very kindly archived their handywork on their website. Their hack was effected on the 26th March 2006. You can see this at: this hacking site. So, on and off there has been activity at Ham Radio Forum.Com for nearly six years now, as opposed to the two years of activity at hamradioforum.net By the expression 'on and off' I accept the fact that there may have been occasional periods of downtime due to script changes, and server problems, but even hamradioforum.net suffers from outages from time to time as can be seen recorded here Ham Radio Forum • View topic - Whoops - regarding Site Outage (on their own website), and also mentions of that site outage can be found on Twitter: Twitter / Paul: HamRadioForum.net is free. ... Twitter / Paul: @m0bov 99% up time, but wh ... Also found these comments at James Ridout (m0bov) on Twitter 73, JethroSmythe.

I beg your pardon. I posted the link in order to offer an alternative site, that's all. However, lets examine your arguments shall we? First point: "...is a cheap..." WRONG! Ham Radio Forum.Com uses the very latest forum scripting, which involves paying for and renewing no less than three licenses each and every year. On the other hand hamradioforum.net uses a FREE copy of phpbb, which has been hacked to death to the point where where new members have their posts moderated until they prove themselves worthy members. Proof of this can be found on their site under the "HamRadioForum site discussion" section. Second point: "...copy..." WRONG! If Ham Radio Forum.Com is as you suggest a 'copy' of hamradioforum.net then where can we find the members picture gallery and members blog sections on the site? I will tell you where: NOWHERE, because hamradioforum.net does not have a members gallery or a members blog section, so how can Ham Radio Forum.Com be a copy of the site you mention? Third point: "...an attempt to steal traffic..." How can Ham Radio Forum.Com 'steal' anything which does not belong to, or is not owned by, hamradioforum.net in the first place? Or are you suggesting that the owners of hamradioforum.net have some kind of hereto unknown claim to all of the free spirited Radio Amateurs in the world that are in search of a forum? Fourth point: "from the older" Older? Really? If we perform a whois domain name search on the web we find that: Ham Radio Forum.Com was first registered on 06-Sep-2004. HamRadioForum.Net was first registered on 24-Nov-2007 Which makes Ham Radio Forum.Com three years and two months OLDER than hamradioforum.net 73, JethroSmythe.

Yup, they can and do emit X-Rays, albeit at a low level normally. However, if you turn up the EHT too far (i.e. 'captain screwdriver' makes 'adjustments') then they become rather wonderful X-Ray devices. This applies to pretty well all thermionic devices (valves, tubes, bottles, depending on what area of the planet you're from) if incorrectly biased.

Or maybe try Ham Radio Forum .Com
