well, some people are impressed by 6000 links. That's fine. What about
more than 41.000 radio related links, categorized, with explanations
in English and German, updated frequently (which means about 300
changes each month)?

I have checked every single URL myself. Further availability checks
are done by a software. You just have to create YOUR linklist
dynamically by a search. This works without having to know a specific
term, as the "Category Search" allows to use two categories for a
search, like 'Receivers' and 'Reviews' for example. Or 'Logs' and
'Tropical Bands'. Or 'Amateur Radio' and 'QSL-Information'. Well, you
got the idea.

There is a button to search for Audio recordings, Webstreams,
Webradios, Live TV. You will find "Starter's Info" with nearly 500
FAQs for all hobby related questions.

You can even offer or search for used hobby equipment. The whole
service is free, I never asked a DX friend for "contributions".

BUT: I simply do not want having to recommend my own work frequently
in mailinglists. That should be done by satisfied users. My time is
used better in adding new sites and keeping the database up-to-date.
And if I should continue to notice that public recommendations are
restricted to Google and Co (although I never understood the benefit
of some 100.000 search results) it makes no sense to keep on my work.
A service which isn't used is useless! It's up to you...
