Contributing to MicroHAMS

Everything you need to add content or contribute code to this site.

Adding Content

Most contributions are content: events, articles, and documentation. Each content type has its own guide with examples and field references.

• Events — Meetings, field days, contests, and activities
• Articles — Guides, tutorials, news, and reviews
• Documentation — Technical reference and how-tos

Before writing, review the Editorial Guidelines for voice, tone, and structure conventions.

Events use pre-configured Venues and Online Meeting settings — you just reference them by key.

Reference

• Markdown — Supported syntax and extensions
• Typography — Text sizing and layout

• Glossary — Amateur radio terms and abbreviations

Content Principles

• Accuracy — Technical information must be verified and correct
• Clarity — Write for clarity, not cleverness
