24 December 2025 - We have a portal. There is the amateur radio topics template, take a look at it:

• Portal:Amateur_radio

23 December 2025 - Good evening, I'm Working on amateur radio satellites pages, expanding, fixing and categorizing them:

• Category:Amateur radio satellites
• de:Kategorie:Amateurfunksatellit (for comparison)

If you feel, improve them. Would be very nice to have OSCAR satellite project page. I'm working on it here: User:Sinucep/sandbox. Here a useful template:

• Template:OSCAR_satellites

23 December 2025 - Hello! I sent a message on the project participants' talk page. We'll update the list in a month or so. Feel free to invite new members personally or through public postings. Sinucep (talk) 00:13, 23 December 2025 (UTC)

21 December 2025 - Good evening, I just created the Category:Films about amateur radio category. It needs to be further populated! Sinucep (talk) 20:43, 21 December 2025 (UTC)

17 December 2025 - Hi, I'm organizing and adding pages to the template. I've already made changes and I'll continue in the coming days. Any suggestions are welcome!

• Template:Amateur radio topics

Principal advice

To maintain article quality, please follow these rules:

• Provide sources for your edits. See also the Citations helpdesk below;

• Restrain the number of red links;
• Ensure external links are active/not broken;
• AVOID emotional arguments, statements about editors of other nationalities, name calling, and anything that is not perceived as constructive, source-backed argument;

1. Create articles about appropriate (and notable) subjects relating to the amateur radio if they don't already exist.
2. Tag appropriate existing articles with the project template, and assess them.
3. Improve articles by adding appropriate content and references. For some ideas on priorities for improvement see the list of assessed articles by class and importance.
4. Add related articles to your watchlist and keep an eye out for any vandalism.
