Ham Radio Online Reprint Policy

and Link Suggestions, Including Button and Logo files

Many readers write and ask us for permission to reprint material that has appeared here in Ham Radio Online - or to ask if its okay to link to our web site. In general, we allow individuals and clubs to reprint all of our articles or link to our web site (see How To Link To Our Web Site) according to the following simple guidelines.

Simple Reprint Guidelines

  • You may reprint any article that we produce and for which we have the right to extend reprint permission. If the article says "Copyright Virtual Publishing Co." then this is an article that we have produced and which you may reprint. You may wish to send email to the author's article letting him or her know that you are reprinting the article.
  • With your reprinting of an article, please place the following notice in a reasonably visible location (such as where you would list an article's author): "Reprinted with permission from Ham Radio Online magazine, available for free on the Internet at http://www.hamradio-online.com".
  • You may generally reprint any newsletter that appears here subject to the distribution rules contained in the various newsletters.
  • Automatic reprint permission is extended to non-commercial, non-profit publications like ham radio club newsletters and non-commercial, non-profit web sites. Automatic reprint permission is not extended to commercial publications and commercial web sites whether run by profit or not-for-profit businesses. A commercial web site is any web site that sells products. Commercial web sites or publications should contact us directly about using our content.

  • Note: One commercial amateur radio web site "borrowed" a lot of our content, edited the text slightly and then placed their own copyright notice on our work. If you happen to surf the Internet and run across commercial web sites whose pages look a lot like ours, we strongly encourage you to avoid doing business with them. If these people cheat and steal the work of others, how do you suppose they treat their customers?
  • Except for our product reviews, do not use our articles in a manner that suggests an association with or an endorsement of a particular product, person or controversial idea. If you like our product review and wish to share it or mention it in your publicity, that is okay with us.
  • For a few articles, we have received reprint permission from others and we do not have the right to sublicense their work. For example, the reprint of the Sports Illustrated article, The Battle of the Hams was published here with permission of Sports Illustrated. We can not, however, sublicense that right to others.
  • You do not need to write and ask us for permission. But if it is easy, could you drop us a short email letting us know which article you are printing and in what publication you are using our articles? Thanks!
  • Some images are Copyright © Corel Corporation 1994 and we cannot sub-license their usage to you. Many of the images are done by us - please write and ask about specific images if you wish to reprint a picture.
