HamAlert - Get Notifications for Amateur Radio

HamAlert, created by Manuel Kasper HB9DQM, is one of the best things since sliced bread! It is a highly configurable app (web, iOS and Android) that you can set up and configure in an infinite number of ways to receive alerts and notifications for an infinite amount of triggers for amateur radio.

Want to know when I'm out doing a Parks On The Air (POTA) activation? Set up a trigger in HamAlert with my callsign with the spotting source of POTA.

Want to know when someone from Alaska will be on the air doing POTA? Set up a trigger with the U.S. State or DXCC entity of Alaska with the spotting source of POTA.

How about CW? Add that as a condition to one of your triggers.

New POTA-themed QSL cards are IN! QSL info can be found on my QRZ page.

ALL amateur radio operators world-wide need to know the DX CODE OF CONDUCT. It was meant for DX contacts, but it really applies to ALL aspects of amateur radio (DXing, contesting, POTA, SOTA, Field Day, special events, etc...). DON'T BE AN ALPHA HOTEL!

I am not affiliated administratively with the Parks On The Air organization, but a happy participant in the POTA program.

Q: What is Parks On The Air?
A: Parks On The Air (or POTA) for international portable amateur radio (ham radio) operations that promote emergency awareness and communications from national/federal and state/provincial level parks.

There are activators and there are hunters. Activators go into POTA approved parks, set up their amateur radio equipment and call CQ (CQ is an invitation for any amateur radio operators listening on that frequency to respond and make contact). Hunters will contact the activators and upon a successful contact, the activator puts the hunter into their logs that will be uploaded to calling area representatives who will then upload those logs to the POTA system. Hunters do not need to upload any logs.
