Off Grid Ham discusses the benefits of mobile ham radio operation in addition to fixed or semi-fixed base stations. The article highlights the challenges of antenna placement on vehicles, emphasizing the importance of a good ground plane for optimal performance. Tradeoffs between performance and appearance are inevitable, especially with modern vehicles that have plastic body panels. Bonding the coax shield to the car frame is often necessary to establish a good ground plane. Mobile ham radio operation is a valuable option that fills in the gaps left by fixed stations, offering flexibility and convenience for hams on the go.

Version 1.0.1.0 of QW5 Lizard, released on September 21, 2019, is a specialized logging program designed for Windows notebooks, particularly for outdoor operations and contest participation. It supports individual configuration and input masks, making it suitable for various HF and VHF/UHF contests. The software prioritizes data security, with a planned feature for live upload directly to the GMA database, catering to activations of references such as mountains, WCA, lighthouses, and WWFF. This logging tool offers robust export capabilities, including EDI for NAC and IARU Region 1 Contests, as well as standard ADIF and Cabrillo formats. The program has undergone extensive testing and deployments by various stations, demonstrating its utility in real-world contest scenarios, such as the Holzhammer Contest. Future extensions for specific contests are also anticipated, enhancing its versatility for the competitive ham radio operator.

Terrestrial Amateur Radio Packet Network An ever expanding group of Amateur Radio operators are working together to use many VHF/UHF radios to link multiple ham radio stations in a digital network for the purpose of having fun in a fun, educational, hobbyist-controlled environment, built using ham radio infrastructure based on packet radio technology.

SO2R Focus Control and SO2R FC Server are freeware VB6-based tools enabling remote or local control of modern SO2R controllers (supporting OTRSP and MK2R protocols) outside contest logging sessions. The client (SO2R Focus Control) manages serial-connected controllers and can interface remotely via LAN or internet using the optional SO2R FC Server, which supports up to two concurrent clients. Key features include AUX port control with customizable labels, interlock options, AES-256 encrypted network communication, and compatibility from Windows XP through Windows 11. Designed for operators needing flexible station control—especially for remote antenna switching—both programs install cleanly via NSIS and uninstall completely.

Accessing the official Estonian amateur radio call sign database is facilitated through this resource, which offers a direct search utility for **ERAU** registered licensees. Users can input a call sign to retrieve associated public information, ensuring accurate identification of Estonian stations. The system directly queries the national amateur radio society's records, providing real-time data on active **ES-prefix** operators. This utility is distinct from global callbook services, focusing exclusively on Estonian amateur radio operators. It serves as a primary source for verifying call sign authenticity and operator details within the country's regulatory framework. The interface is streamlined for quick lookups, making it efficient for DXers and contesters targeting Estonian entities. The resource's direct integration with the Estonian Radio Amateurs Union (ERAU) database ensures the presented information is current and authoritative, reflecting the latest licensing status and operator details for the amateur radio community.
