All of us are interested in communicateion more than other people. That’s the reason to go to http://www.gwmicro.com and try the public beta of GWSkype. This blind optimized client of the skype communicator is warth trying. It can be used with any screenreader for windows. If you look for clear simple and elegant skype experience just go and download this beta. I used it on my computer and that’s the reason while I recommend it to all blind computer users. More about the product can be found on the GWMicro website.

So, I’ve registered my account there. Process is entirelly accessible. Now I was able to try the receivers on their page. Interesting for the radio hobby newcommers is, that you can listen there almost all possible radio content. During my quick overview I’ve found am, fm, hambands and other kinds of receivers. There is something for dx fans, for curious radio listeners and, which can be extremly useful, a propagation info. Do you need more? Just go explore and enjoy the hobby.

Dear readers,
I’d like to recommend all newcommers in hamradio area to start with a <a href=”http://www.websdr.org”very good resource for listening experience. Klango browser is not good enough to open the link above so don’t even try and loose your time. Just open it in your system web browser. There you will find a list of receivers. When you choose one you will be able to tune it around the bands. What you will hear depends on the local setup and propagation conditions. Please put your questions and remarks on our forums.
