Short Links for BATC and Other Ham Radio Resources

[AC5JW]

Hello everyone,

I visited TinyUrl.com and managed to whip up some convenient short links for a few resources that belong to BATC and other amateur radio websites. Here is a list:

BATC.Org.Uk

The ability to invite newcomers to visit ATV streaming pages is an obvious application for such BATC short links. A familiar character string next to the TinyURL domain name should make it easy to communicate over chats or on the air and will be easy to copy and use. And the short links offer a way to avoid getting lost in unfamiliar web pages.

Anyone can create a custom TinyURL from the http://www.tinyurl.com website. Look for a special custom alias field toward the bottom of a results page. There are even preview options to see where a target link lies without visiting it.

If anyone is interested in Geocoding and Geolocation for amateur radio, I made an attempt at making a listing of some callsigns and positions.

You can view the work (in progress) here:

I have tried to include repeaters as well as callsigns for individual amateurs and even clubs and a school so far.

I hope it will be of use to you.
