TOP CHART: MOST POPULAR TWITTER ACCOUNT RELATED TO HAMRADIO

TOP CHART: MOST POPULAR TWITTER ACCOUNT RELATED TO HAMRADIO




In my honest opinion, Twitter is the best way to discover what’s new in the world of Dx. The usage of twitter is still growing exponentially in the amateur radio environment. All the biggest dxpeditions have their own account, the same for the main websites related to amateur radio. A lot of ham-services are starting to inter face their solutions with this tool and the result is an incredible amount of information about your passion, ready to be used in real time directly to you.

That’s why I wrote down this chart of the twitter accounts related to hamradio world. I decided to take in consideration one of the most important parameters to measure the success of an account on twitter: the number of the followers. The more, the number is high, the more you have users interested in your twits . In this chart I didn’t take in consideration stores, radio & accessories brands and personal accounts of operators. I considered only Clubs, Associations, Magazines, Foundations, and account of a specific attitude in the amateur radio world.

Just a suggestion: avoid broadcasting on twitter, I strongly suggest you to follow other accounts, re-tweet their tweets, share, and spread on twitter the good news related to our world. They are called “social media”…. ;-P
