Active Elements

Kelvin Marsh, M0AID is bringing together resources for disabled radio
amateurs in a new web site to be found at www.active-elements.org.

Working with Quentin, GW3BV and Chris, G5VZ, Kelvin is publishing
accessibility evaluations of amateur radio equipment, spoken word
manuals and audio demonstrations.

Kelvin says, “Blind and partially sighted radio amateurs often use
standard equipment that might easily seem impossible to operate.
They can be incredibly resourceful but do need to be informed about
what's available. Amateurs with other disabilities also need to know
if equipment is accessible or whether adaptations are available to
make it so. Active Elements attempts to draw together experience and
knowledge gained by disabled operators from all over the world and
make it available to anyone with an interest.”

Kelvin's team began work on the site during last autumn, building a
range of evaluations, reviews and recordings plus links to resources
available on other sites. The site is fully accessible and combines an
attractive visual design with clear text while also being optimised
for screen reader software like Window-Eyes or NVDA.

Development of the site continues and the formal launch of Active
Elements is planned for 1st March 2013.
