NetLogger displays 6 currently active nets, including the 3838 Breakfast Club on 80 meters SSB and the CornCobNet on 40 meters SSB, providing real-time updates every 20 seconds to monitoring participants. It functions as a specialized logging program designed for amateur radio nets, facilitating the transmission of check-in data via the internet. The system lists net name, frequency, band, mode, server, start time (UTC), elapsed time, number of subscribers, and the callsign of the operator who opened the net. The platform details specific net operations, such as the Florida AM Group on 3.885 MHz AM and the GRAVEYARD NET on 3.967 MHz SSB, illustrating its application across various **HF** bands and modes. NetLogger's utility extends to viewing past nets and offers a **Groups.io** integration for community interaction. It provides a practical solution for organizing and participating in amateur radio nets, offering a centralized system for tracking participants and net activity. The resource details specific net operations, such as the Florida AM Group on 3.885 MHz AM and the GRAVEYARD NET on 3.967 MHz SSB, illustrating its application across various HF bands and modes.

Digital voice on Amateur Radio - devoted to the discussion of digitized voice and data over analog emission modes.

Accessing this interface provides entry to one of the largest databases for amateur radio voice repeaters, encompassing over 8000 entries from more than 60 countries. The resource supports both desktop and mobile access, with a default display based on browser type, or forced via a "force" parameter (e.g., relais.dl3el.de?force=mobile). Users input a QTH-locator to find local repeater information. The database integrates FM-Funknetz servers and hotspots, potentially creating duplicate entries but ensuring new FM-Funknetz repeaters are immediately displayed. DMR repeater information, including status and talkgroup configurations, is sourced directly from DMR+ / ircDDB and Brandmeister systems, with real-time updates for active and default talkgroups. C4FM/Wires-X installations, particularly MMDVM-based gateways not listed in Yaesu's database, are identified through Brandmeister dashboard descriptions, marked with "W-x" or "W-x#MMDVM" for manual entries. D-Star repeater data from ircddb or QuadNet2 is also incorporated, with entries marked (i), (o), or (d) for manual additions. An APRS interface allows searching by callsign, using Sassan, DL3NCK's database, and offers a mobile-friendly, auto-refreshing display that follows an APRS station. Output data can be generated in GPX format for offline smartphone maps or CSV for spreadsheet applications. The database also attempts to determine valid repeater offsets based on IARU region and frequency, indicated by a "." after the frequency.

For amateur radio operators focused on **county hunting** awards, WD8LQB CountyLog offers a specialized logging solution for Windows. This software facilitates the logging of contacts specifically by county, a critical feature for those pursuing awards like the USA Counties Award. It includes functionality to export log data in **ADIF** format, ensuring compatibility with other logging programs and award submission systems. The program also provides access to the "Who's on the Air Database," a valuable resource for identifying active stations and planning county-specific operations. WD8LQB CountyLog is available in both a free limited version and a commercial version, allowing operators to choose based on their operational needs and budget. Its design prioritizes ease of use for county-focused logging, streamlining the process of recording contacts and managing the necessary data for award applications. The software's ability to integrate with external databases enhances its utility for real-time operational planning and post-contact verification.

Examining the demographic shifts within amateur radio, particularly concerning **radiosport** participation, this resource analyzes survey data from the National Contest Journal (NCJ) and two regional ARRL surveys. It focuses on the relationship between age and engagement in contesting, presenting findings that suggest older amateur radio operators tend to participate in more contests annually. The author, a spatial demographer, details the methodology, including data consolidation, georeferencing, and statistical analysis performed in collaboration with Dr. Scott Wright K0MD, covering ARRL November Sweepstakes participants from 2000 to 2020. The analysis also addresses the limitations inherent in using voluntary response samples rather than random samples, which may influence the generalizability of the results. Furthermore, the resource investigates the preferred sources of contest information among different age groups, noting that older contesters frequently rely on traditional publications like the NCJ, while younger participants show a preference for online platforms. This demographic review provides insights into the evolving landscape of **amateur radio contesting** and the generational differences in information consumption.
