BeaconSpot.uk provides an accurate, real-time picture of microwave and VHF/UHF beacons operating across Europe, alongside a worldwide listing of 6-meter beacons. The platform allows users to retrieve detailed data for individual beacons, facilitating in-depth analysis of signal characteristics and propagation paths. Interactive maps visualize beacon distribution by frequency band and display spot coverage for each station, offering a clear geographical overview of active beacons. The system integrates real-time DXCluster spots, sourced from contributors like Alain, ON4KST, and Pascal, F5LEN, and enables users to submit outgoing spots directly to the DXCluster. Beacon keepers can manage their beacon data, receive email alerts upon being spotted, and track their station's ODX (Outstanding DX) records. For every received spot, the distance to the beacon is automatically calculated and displayed, aiding propagation studies.

P4-A narrowband transponder Operating Guidelines and Band Plan, coverage map of the QO100 geostationary amateur radio satellite

Presents an interactive **Ham Bands Explorer** web application, offering a live view of all amateur radio bands overlaid on a world map. This resource displays **CQ zones** and **ITU zones**, with geographical data sourced from HB9HIL/hamradio-zones-geojson under an MIT license. The interface provides a dynamic visualization of global band conditions, enabling operators to observe activity patterns across different regions. Users can select individual countries to retrieve and display their specific band plans, with frequency coverage details loaded from CountryData.json. The tool indicates 100% frequency coverage, ensuring comprehensive data presentation for selected regions. This functionality supports detailed analysis of national regulatory variations within the amateur spectrum. The application integrates both a map view and a live view, facilitating real-time monitoring and geographical context for band usage. It serves as a practical reference for understanding international amateur radio regulations and visualizing propagation characteristics across various frequency allocations.

Online interactive elevationmap can help radio amateurs by predicting signal propagation, optimizing antenna placement, planning coverage, ensuring line-of-sight, mitigating interference, and enhancing emergency communication. T

SAT_EXPLORER is a versatile software for tracking the Moon, Sun, and artificial satellites while controlling various antenna interfaces. Compatible with Windows XP and later (32/64-bit) and multilingual (English, French, German, Italian, Spanish), it integrates seamlessly with TRX-Manager for transceiver control. SAT_EXPLORER computes satellite and Moon positions with high precision, calculates EME Doppler shifts, and uploads real-time satellite positions and coverage maps to your personal web pages. Linux/Ubuntu users can run it using WINE or CROSSOVER.

Demonstrates the operational status and reach of the LoRa APRS infrastructure, providing a live mapping and logging service for network participants. Users can verify network coverage, monitor _iGates_, and track mobile stations, observing messages and real-time network activity. The platform offers insights into station locations and data flow within the LoRa APRS system, which is crucial for understanding the performance of LoRa technology in Automatic Packet Reporting System applications. This utility helps amateur radio operators understand where transmissions are being received and processed by iGates, and how mobile units are moving within the network. The site's analysis tools provide RF performance monitoring and metrics, enabling users to assess network efficiency and identify areas for improvement. For example, operators can see how many packets are received by specific iGates, or track the path of a mobile station over a **100 km** range, offering practical insights into signal propagation and network reliability for _packet radio_ enthusiasts.

This study analyzes the antenna pattern of the Utah Amateur Radio Club's 146.760 MHz repeater following antenna relocation in 1997. Noting degraded transmission toward the north, a customized signal mapping system using a Yaesu FT-817, GPS, and software was developed to log real-time signal data. Calibration techniques extended the radio's signal range, enabling precise field measurements. The method allowed continuous signal strength monitoring while driving, revealing anomalies in coverage likely due to tower modifications. Findings helped assess and visualize the antenna’s actual radiation pattern and highlighted environmental impact on signal distribution.
