The Maidenhead Locator System (a.k.a. QTH Locator and IARU Locator) is a geocode system used by amateur radio operators to succinctly describe their geographic coordinates, which replaced the deprecated QRA locator, which was limited to European contacts. [1]
View user-defined tracks on map - view tracks generated by users of the system. Draw track on map - using custom drawing tools, the user can draw a favourite track leading to a SOTA summit. Import track from file - the user can import a track (in GPX format) to a SOTA summit which he/she has recorded with a GPS unit.
The standard message is <callsign> + <4 character locator> + <dBm transmit power>; for example “K1ABC FN20 37” is a signal from station K1ABC in Maidenhead grid cell “FN20”, sending 37 dBm, or about 5.0 W (legal limit for 630 m). Messages with a compound callsign and/or 6 digit locator use a two-transmission sequence.
Logbook of the World (LoTW) is a web-accessed database provided by the American Radio Relay League (ARRL) to implement a contact verification service among amateur radio operators. Using LoTW, radio amateurs (hams) are able to claim and verify contacts (QSOs) made with other amateurs, generally for claiming credit for operating awards, such as ...
The QRA locator, also called QTH locator in some publications, is an obsolete geographic coordinate system used by amateur radio operators in Europe before the introduction of the Maidenhead Locator System. As a radio transmitter or receiver location system the QRA locator is considered defunct, but may be found in many older documents.
Example of a radio map estimate using STORM, a transformer-based radio map estimator. Signal strength maps quantify signal strength at each location. Formally, a signal strength map can be seen as a function γ ( r ) {\displaystyle \gamma (\mathbf {r} )} that provides a signal strength metric for each location r {\displaystyle \mathbf {r} } .
MacLoggerDX is a full-featured amateur radio contact logger for macOS with Transceiver control, Rotor control, Callbook lookup, QSL handling (Hardcopy / LoTW / eQSL / Club Log), DX Cluster and spotting, and basic contesting support. It also works with WSJT-X to control the transceiver while making digital contacts, etc. HamLogBook by K6REA
