Programs available for downloading from this site.
The following are programs I've found useful on PC's and Pocket PC's. All are downloadable
directly from this actual site so no dreaded redirection or pop-ups will result.
Most, I believe, are freeware so perfectly legal. Importantly, some are the last
freeware versions that were available so should not be updated to later versions
without first checking out the newer version on line. Some need you to register
else the program has limited functionality or might time-out after either 7 or perhaps
30 days. You'll see. And, as is always the case, use a bit of common sense and stay
legal, and if you try a program and you don't like it uninstall
it.
- KeyScrambler - is a useful freeware
program for fooling key sequence loggers.
- Reg Clean - Eusing's freeware
registry cleaner available here and from PC World.
- SeaTTY - is an excellent freeware program
for HF SSB weather and fax downloading.
- Google Earth - an amazing program from
Google. Freeware.
- Starry Night - This is the beginners
version so I think its freeware
and legal.
- U Grib - installs the US GRIB weather viewer.
Free registration but an email address is needed to obtain the password.
- Airmail for hams - Has a good propagation
program. Usable without a Pactor modem. Freeware for hams only.
- Fast Stone Image Viewer - Best
freeware photo editor and viewer I've come across. Lets YOU decide how best
to do things.
- FileZilla - an FTP program. (Last
freeware version)
- Pocket Music - an add-on to a Pocket
PC allowing iTunes, WMA and MP3's to be played. Great user interface with all of
the usual bells and whistles.
- Folder Size An add-on for Windows Explorer
to show the size of a folder and its contents. And its a freeware program.
- Ezy Thumbnails - Allows thumbnail photos,
of any size, to be created from your umpteen mega-pixel originals. Great for adding
sensible sized photos into emails. Freeware.
- Flexible Re-namer - Great for re naming files,
photos, music etc. Suddenly file names, e.g. on photos, can have real meaning. Freeware.
- DX Atlas - This radio call-signs atlas is a way
of locating and also keeping a record of all of the radio contacts and locations
of those contacts.
- MP3 music file shrink - why put MP3 files
on your player at 256kB when 80kB sounds as good? Takes much less space as well.
- Partition magic - Not for the faint
of heart this one. Like Windows Vista, partition you hard drive into two (or more)
different drives. Freeware.
- Web log lite - For site managers only. Allows
you to check the details of your site's activities. (fussy to use but good) Freeware.
- Ham Radio Deluxe - a SW radio control
program and log book. Great for decoding the whole range of digital ham data transmissions.
Freeware.

Freeware.
