While that was true at one time, the terms the program was licensed under did not grant a permanent license to freely distribute the program forever.

When we began hosting HRD, the site we originally obtained our copy of the software from had a notice that the software was authorized for free distribution by its original author (Simon Brown, HB9DRV).Īs it turns out, that notice was inaccurate. We've recently been made aware of a number of things, and we'd like to give you a clear overview of the current situation surrounding Ham Radio Deluxe in general.

We've been hosting HRD for a little over a year and a half as of this writing, and it's been a fantastic experience being able to assist the Amateur Radio community in obtaining excellent software. We originally began hosting Ham Radio Deluxe (HRD) because we were huge fans of the program, and we noticed that it was only being hosted on a few other sites and we were concerned that those sites might go offline, effectively eliminating access to the program. We feel that it's important and will be worth the read. We'd greatly appreciate if you'd take a minute to read the following message.
