Make More Miles on VHF

MMM, short for Make More Miles on VHF, is the name of the European information platform, that was active since the nineties of the last century. The information was formerly collected by Bernd, DK3XT, as well as Udo, DK5YA, until it was taken over by Guy, DL8EBW in 2006. The goal over the past decade was always the same: The webpage should be a free Internet Portal were Hams interested in VHF could obtain information about “Who”, “Were”, “When” and “How” DX activity was to reveal itself. Of course, this information was completely free of charge for everyone who accessed the web site.
By the end of 2006, Guy, DL8EBW, came to the conclusion that even with 2 to 3 hours of involvement in the Home Build web page per day, he had reached a limit of knowledge about all the aspects of HTML and other Internet features. As new features needed to be added, tools to be learned and an increasing 144 MHz activity, Guy came to the conclusion that not only a less time consuming set-up needed to be found, but also one that would rely on the competence of other amateurs. Early 2007 a group of 7 radio friends was formed which took off swiftly.
Several new ideas had sprouted, and “only” needed to be incorporated into the software. A new partner was found who had a potent server to his disposal with the latest technical (internet) features. At DENIC a new Domain name was registered: www.MMMonVHF.de. One of the contributors of the webpage is Ansgar, DG2KBC, who is the main programmer. Although he must have felt overwhelmed with new ideas and proposals, he managed to convert them into web page features in a remarkable short time span. He serves most of the credits, as he managed to build this new web page within a period of 2 months. In fact, he never said “no” when new requests were issued to him! The new webpage that we present here is: http://www.mmmonvhf.de.
