• Digital Clubs – those that are members of Digital Clubs of 30MDG (30 Meter Digital Group) or FH (Feld-Hell Club) can use these pages for Club members , Club Events, or Club activities (I’m sure VK3AMA would be willing to add your Digital Club if requested and if will be used). These pages show Club members spotted and spots for the particular band or mode used by the club. There is also a ‘local spots & chat’ area to these Digital Club pages. Stations logged on will appear at the middle top area and if have mouse over station call or click on call information the Op name, DXCC Country, all Club numbers, and QSL route will appear

• Multi Band Spots – Dual Band spots (160m-80m, 40m-30m, 20m-17m, 15m-12m, 10m-6m). ). These pages are spots only and no local spots or chat here

• Spot Filters can be toggled on and off at any time

• Auto cross-posting between the Club and Mode pages

• User can also manually post spots to DX Cluster Network right from the HamSpots pages!! (but no tolerance for any abuse on this feature)

• Where do the Spots come from? HamSpots maintains a private dedicated Cluster Node and processes all incoming spots to that node to determine the mode being used (CW, PSK, RTTY, SSTV, HELL, etc.) to display correctly on the individual Mode Pages. HamSpots also takes direct feeds from the PSKReporter Network (thanks to N1DQ) and the JT65 Reverse Beacon Network (thanks to W6CQZ)

• HamSpots continue to add more and more neat features and more are coming soon


If you are a Digital Mode operator (or even if not) give HamSpots a try and look over because VK3AMA has added lots of features to this site and it is FREE for all to use.
