π Log. Connect. Learn. Share. All in One Place.

Whether you're a newly licensed Technician, a seasoned DXer chasing rare entities, or someone studying for their first amateur radio exam — HamRadioList.com was built from the ground up to be your home on the web.
We're not just another logbook. We're a full-featured social network, QSO logging platform, learning management system, and community hub — all designed specifically for the ham radio community. Here's everything you need to know about what makes HamRadioList.com the most comprehensive amateur radio platform available today.
π‘ Complete QSO Logging System
At the heart of HamRadioList.com is a powerful, web-based QSO logging system that rivals any desktop application — but works from any device, anywhere in the world.
π Full-Featured QSO Entry
Log every detail: callsign, date, time, band, mode, frequency, RST sent/received, operator name, QTH, grid square, country, state, CQ/ITU zones, DXCC entity, IOTA reference, TX power, and comments.
β‘ Smart Sticky Fields
Band, mode, and frequency automatically carry over between entries — no need to re-enter the same data over and over during a session.
π Competition Mode
Rapid-fire contest logging mode for when every second counts. Streamlined input designed for maximum speed during contests and field days.
π QRZ.com Integration
Enter a callsign and watch as name, QTH, grid square, country, and more auto-populate directly from the QRZ.com XML database.
Multiple Logbooks
Create as many logbooks as you need — one for each rig, each operating location, each contest, or however you prefer to organize your operating activity. Set a default logbook for quick entries, and switch between them effortlessly.
πΊοΈ Interactive 3D Globe Map
Visualize your radio reach across the planet with our stunning CesiumJS-powered 3D globe. Every QSO in your logbook appears as pins and arcs on an interactive 3D Earth — zoom, spin, and explore your contacts from any angle. It's not just data — it's your story told on a map.
π΄ Beautiful QSO Contact Cards
Every QSO you log automatically generates a gorgeous, shareable SVG contact card in portrait format (9:16), perfect for Instagram, X/Twitter, Facebook, and more.
- Auto-generated — Cards are created instantly when you log a QSO
- Country flag backgrounds — The DX station's country flag appears as a subtle background element
- All the details — Callsigns, band, mode, frequency, date, RST reports, power, and notes
- Download as SVG or PNG — Perfect for sharing or printing
- Social media ready — Full Open Graph and Twitter Card meta tags for rich link previews
- Auto-generated hashtags — Smart hashtags built from your QSO data (band, mode, callsigns, country)
- One-click sharing — Share to X/Twitter, Facebook, or copy the link directly
π¬ QSO Card Email Auto-Send
Want to send your beautiful QSO contact card directly to the station you just worked? Enable auto-email and HamRadioList.com will automatically email a copy of the card to the DX station's email address (from QRZ) right after you log the contact. It's the modern equivalent of a QSL card — instant, beautiful, and zero postage required.
