Opinion: It’s Time for Ham Clubs to Move Away from the PDF Newsletter
October 21, 2024
It’s time for ham radio clubs to move away from the PDF based newsletter as a primary publishing format.
The purpose of this post is to help amateur radio clubs and organizations get their content in front of more hams. The PDF format is problematic because it acts as a walled garden, limiting the ways in which the content inside can be discovered by search engines, social media, and ultimately the hams looking for good information.
