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.

A 2x3-foot laminated world map product is detailed, offering customization for amateur radio operators. Each map features two distinct views: one centered on the operator's specific station location and another precisely centered on its _antipode_. Countries are clearly labeled, complemented by a tabular listing of all countries. The map integrates a standard latitude/longitude grid alongside concentric circles that delineate distance increments radiating outward from the operator's QTH. Personalization includes the operator's name, callsign, and location printed directly on the map. This custom mapping service provides a unique visual aid for DXing and propagation analysis, allowing operators to quickly ascertain beam headings and distances from their station. The dual-view presentation, particularly the antipodal centering, offers a practical reference for understanding long-path propagation and identifying potential DX opportunities. The inclusion of distance circles and personalized station data makes it a tailored tool for daily operating and contest planning, distinct from generic world maps.

Demonstrates the practical application of APRS (Automatic Packet Reporting System) through the lens of HB9PVI's activities in Switzerland. It covers the system's core function of reporting geographical positions and telemetry data from various objects, including mobile stations, aircraft, and the ISS, distributed via packet radio and internet gateways. The resource highlights the routing paradigm shift introduced in April 2005, specifically the recommendation to use _WIDE1-1_ instead of RELAY and WIDE for digipeating to reduce duplicate packets. The page presents real-time maps displaying the positions of amateur radio stations in Switzerland and around Bern, updated every few minutes. It details specific callsigns like _HB9BA-2_ (HB9PVI's home QTH), _HB9BA-8_ (a weather station), and _HB9BA-4_ (a WIDE digipeater on Weissenstein mountain), providing context for their roles within the local APRS network. Links to track HB9PVI's mobile operations (_HB9PVI-9_) and handheld devices (_HB9PVI-15_, _HB9PVI-7_) are also provided. Furthermore, the resource curates a list of APRS software options for various operating systems, including _JavAPRS_ for Europe, _UI-view_, and _X-Astir_ for Linux, alongside digipeater/IGATE software like _DiXPRS_. It also offers downloadable APRS information, including a PDF article by HB9PVI and HE9ZGN, and a PowerPoint presentation in German, making it a repository of practical and historical APRS data.

The page automatically generate a Great Circle Map (GCM) for ham radio operators based on the IP address or by a given QTH locator. The GCM generated, unlike traditional maps of this type, has been rendered in an elliptical shape instead of a circle. This provides an expanded view horizontally thus making it easier to interpret. The map base is colored with each continent colored differently for easier recognition. The color code of the continents is given below the map for easy reference

This page by Basu (VU2NSB) presents automatically rendered antenna bearings with geodesic paths projected on a rectangular map. ch geodesic great circle path displayed on the map originates from your location that is derived from your Internet IP address. Therefore the Antenna Bearing Geodesic Map generated below should be accurate and relevant to your physical location (QTH). This map is an alternative to the Great circle Map.

Demonstrates a cloud-based suite of tools for amateur radio operations, eliminating local software installation. The platform integrates a comprehensive logbook with import/export functionality, an _eMap_ application displaying DX spots, user locations, and grayline data, alongside a dynamic band map derived from DX cluster information. It also provides a _vQSL_ system for QSL management and a mailbox with QSO verification. Users can access a Web DX cluster to monitor spots and _DXCC_ status, or connect via Telnet using external programs like _Logger32_ or Ham Radio Deluxe. The cluster supports advanced spot filtering by QRG, spot call, spot from, and origin, with configurable mail alerts based on IARU zone filters. Additional features include a real-time chat for skeds, azimuth/distance calculations from a user's QTH (with QRA locator), a search engine for spot and logbook databases, a band status matrix, and a propagation tool for MUF calculations, leveraging data from N0NBH.
