HamSphere 4.0
Four years have passed!

Summer 2014 on August 15 exactly, a UFO arrives in the world of radio
amateurs and radio enthusiasts, this new program happens to simulate
the propagation on the amateur bands radio 10 to 160 meters.

This very realistic software is called HamSphere 4.0. of course it is
a little more complicated to use than the old HamSphere 3 but it is
much more réalistic because of the real propagation of shortwaves.

It is possible to make Phone but also CW, SSTV, RTTY and other digital
modes ( PSK31,etc ). 200 countries have already been active on HS4
including rare countries. IOTA on HS4 are IOHS (islands on HamSphere),
Lighthouse (LOHS) or castles (COHS).

A blog is dedicated to it:

Why use virtual amateur radio?

"Because it becomes harder and harder for radio fans to be able to
exercise their hobby"

Several reasons for this:

Antennas:
The antenna is a main component of a radio amateur station. Installing
an antenna or antennas especially in town or renting becomes very
difficult. The application for a license for a large pylone becomes
more restrictive. Not to mention the electrosensibles that are in
crisis when they see an antenna even those of the SWL!

Climatic elements on the antennae such as wind and lightning. During
storms, it is not unusual to see antennas falling or being destroyed
with if you are in town to see your antenna risky to fall on the
street. Lightning can also fall on your antenna and cause very serious
damage when it reaches your TRx.

The price of a good amateur radio installation can quickly climb.
Equipment, antennas, taxes, insurance etc.

The price of the QSL cards, stamps and" green stamps ! "

For fans of DX on 27 Mhz when the propagation is bad, it is necessary
to know that there is always propagation on amateur bands like the
decametric 20 meters With age, it becomes painful to climb on the
pylone or on the roof ...

The QRM: A problem that did not exist a few years ago. Many
technologies generate QRM which disrupts all short wave listening.

Exams to become amateur radio in France and many countries are too
complicated for some people.

The solution : Virtual amateur radio with HamSphere 4.0

Virtual radio amateur is not expensive. You only need a computer, a
tablet or a smartphone, a microphone, an internet connection or wifi
and the HamSphere 4.0 program.

No QRM, No exams to pass, government taxes, building permits for
pylones and antennas, No more BURO QSL contribution, stamps, as well
as on the real amateur amateur radio bands.

On HS 4.0 there are also contests (contests) in Phone or CW , SSTV,
and many modes.

For about €35 (40 US) per year, it is possible to send as many qsl
cards as you want. I have already sent 12000 on hamSphere 4.0
