LINKS TO INTERESTING PLACES

Here are some links, in no particular order, that I've found interesting and instructive. Most of these web sites are related to my favorite part of the hobby - taking commercial radios and putting them on the ham bands. Please let me know if you find a link that does not work anymore. If you know of a web site that could be added, please let me know that, too.
