Operator Console — Beam Heading & Contact Log

🟢 LIVE CONSOLE

📍 Location not set

Pulls your location from Callook.info using your FCC address on file. US callsigns only.

US ZIP codes only. Good if you'd rather not enter a callsign.

Already know your 4 or 6-character Maidenhead grid square? Enter it directly.

Enter their grid square manually

Callook.info only covers US callsigns without a "/" suffix. For DX stations, look up their grid on QRZ or HamQTH and enter it here.

Enter a callsign above to see the bearing, distance, and live weather at their location.

📋 Session Log

⚠️ This log only lives in this browser — it won't sync to other devices and can be lost if you clear browser data. Export to CSV often to keep a permanent copy.

No contacts logged yet this session. Look up a station above, then click "Log This Contact" to add it here. Your log is saved in this browser and survives closing the tab.

📖 How This Works

🔎 Callsign Lookup

US callsigns are looked up via Callook.info, which calculates location from the FCC's address on file. Accuracy depends on that mailing address — not the operator's exact antenna location.

🌐 DX & Non-US Stations

Callook only covers US callsigns with no "/" suffix. For anyone else, look up their grid square on QRZ.com or HamQTH and enter it manually — the bearing tool works the same either way.

🌦️ Target Weather

Weather and NWS alerts are pulled live for the target's location — handy for knowing if there's a storm rolling through before you make the contact.

📋 Session Log

Logged contacts are saved in this browser and survive closing the tab or restarting your computer. They're tied to this specific browser, though — clearing site data, switching browsers, or using a different device starts a fresh log. Export to CSV often if you want a backup.
