*** Now includes band limits for All Amateur Licenses ***
*** Calculators for Yagi, Dipole, J-pole, and Vertical antennas ***
*** Callsign Lookup is now included!!! ***
Callsign database is pulled from FCC website and updated daily! Callsign lookup works for U.S. callsigns ONLY. Results include address, current and previous license updates, date of any updates, type and class of license, and even includes a link to the FCC database for even more details. Address can be mapped on Google Maps by tapping on the address.
The contact log allows you to store information about a completed contact including date, time started, time ended, frequency, mode, station, location, signal reports, and an area for general comments about the contact. A must for field day and general book keeping. Data and start time are filled in when starting the log to save time. End time can even be filled in automatically upon saving the log entry.
The contact log also comes with a handy search feature for quickly locating that one of a kind long distance contact you like to brag about. The search is focused on fields chosen by the user. If you want to search for a specific call sign select station as the search location and enter the call sign in the search box. Search keywords are CASE SENSITIVE meaning capital or lowercase letter DO matter.
A summary of the band limits for each class are included. Always refer to the official ARRL Band Plan when in doubt.
Some simple formulas and calculators are included for quick reference in the field and includes: Yagi, Dipole, J-Pole, Vertical antennas, and wavelength calculator.

★★★★★
Handiest ham app to have! I use this app quite a bit. Especially like have access to the band plans and formulas.
★★★★★
Works well. And to the guy who thinks the lookup should be limited to hams only, the FCC treats call signs as public information and anyone can look up your call sign on the FCC database.
★★★★★
Better than expected. Real handy to have repeater freqs, antenna
calculator, band limits and more... in the palm of my hand.
★★★★★
Pretty good for quick formulas Just be aware that the dipole calculator gives the FULL Wavelength. Just take the result and divide by 2. If the application writer could Change that, so the results are for a half-wave dipole that we use in the real world, and it would be better. Also add a database of common feed lines. Including velocity factor. Also, the loss per hundred feet from the published tables. Otherwise, thank you.
★★☆☆☆
Nice app if you are buying antenna s. Call sign look up only if you are in the USA. So no use if you are anywhere else
★★☆☆☆
Worked great for a while now I just flashes and goes back to the main page when I try and look up a call sign
★★☆☆☆
Search for null Turning gps on in-app fails, shows all zeros. Related: Searching for 'null' in Google Maps gives the nearest Null, as in someone named Null! And that ain't right! Alos, put an exit in the app, please.
★★☆☆☆
Can't see text against "Busy" background and Call sign lookup fails with my own call sign. "Says invalid format". I'm deleting this....
