Thanks to Nick Langan of Radio World for the deep dive into the DLARC collection on @archive.org. It's a wonderful to know that he finds it as amazing a resource for radio geeks as we do! The piece highlights the vast array of ham radio materials and beyond in this ever-growing library.
A digital collection of artifacts — audio, print, logbooks, QSL cards — that radio geeks can all their own. There's even a certain VHF DX-related podcast that's part of the it now.
