Ham radio posts are now banned.

Due to a massive increase in ham related posts here, all posts relating to ham radio (but not mentions of it in relevant discussions) will be removed. This has been planned for a while now.

I understand some users appreciated having a hub for all-things radio here (including me) , but ultimately ham radio is far less niche and already has larger subreddits on Reddit for discussion - banning content related to it here allows us all to be more on-topic and have overall higher quality posts. Allowing ham posts here only really worked when the subreddit was much smaller.

For ham related content, please visit r/HamRadio and r/AmateurRadio. This is not retroactive but does apply immediately and includes very specific term-related filters in posts. Other bands are still allowed.

Ham-related posts will result in either automatic or manual removal, never a ban. Again, feel free to mention it and discuss it in relevant comments - this is not being filtered out or removed in comments if the conversation leads to it.

Additionally, media is now allowed in comments.

Thank you.
