Exciting new Opportunities for Ham Radio Enthusiasts

Ham Radio has always been in the forefront of electronic communication technology. From Morse Code to the digital age, using the latest in computer aided communication, Ham Radio has taken a lead.

In 1998, Dave Cameron, VE7LTD, in Vancouver, BC, introduced the Internet Radio Linking Project, IRLP, to the ham world. Read the about the ground breaking history on the IRLP website: www.IRLP.net

Since its inception 14 years ago, the IRLP has gone global, making it possible for hams to bridge continents with their love for Ham Radio.

Today, once again, a new chapter is starting. The Oregon Internet Radio Group and it’s founder, Michael Bloom, W7RAT, have gathered node owners around the world to widen that global communication and friendships shared by radio

enthusiasts. Individual node owners are dedicating specific channels on their IRLP reflectors to IRLP Topic Channels. Many hams have hobbies, passions or interests in common. These IRLP Topic Channels will make it possible to find other hams all over the world who share such interests. History, Sports, Travel, Digital Radio Technology, DX, Movies, Music are just a few of the topics being offered.

There are also channels that will adjust depending on the interests of the day. We will be updating the topic information here on the IRLP Topic Channels website.

Join us as we broaden our friendships across the globe!
