Ideal and a definite asset to ham radio. Another great facet, allowing ham radio operators to communicate all over the world most conveniently at minimum expense.
This is not Amateur Radio. Then they want to see your Amateur Radio License. This Virtual Radio never go out into the Airwaves. It is all internet.
If you used this Virtual Radio and they request you a Amateur Radio License and then you have to pay to used there Virtual Radio. Beware! I give it 0 Start.
Marcos, but by requiring you to be a licenced amateur it goes towards keeping it regulated. If it was open to everyone then it would just be a free for all, like CB. No one claims it's "real radio", but for many people it's a relatively cheap way of communicating with hams all over the world. In my case I can't afford a HF setup, and have no room for antennas, so it's a very good alternative.
Cq100 was a good alternative for those that could not put up an antenna.
I say "was" because now people are being banned from the program for not conforming to the goose-stepping frequency police.
It seems they wait until you renew your subscription, then a couple of days later you receive an error saying your account has been de-activated. They give you no reason this has happened and they will never answer an email. In other words, they have your money and you are gone with no recourse!
I know this is true because it happened to me after being a member for several years and to several people I know!
So do yourself a favor and stay away from this rip-off!

Hamsphire is a good alternative!
