About the App<\/h2>\n

\n Every amateur radio operator knows the frustration: dialing through local repeater slots, dropping your callsign, and getting nothing back but silence. Are the repeaters quiet, or are you just on the wrong frequency?\n <\/p>\n

\n Ham Here!<\/strong> bridges the gap between digital coordination and real-world RF. It is a utility designed exclusively for amateur radio operators to signal their presence, discover active infrastructure, and foster real-time conversations on local airwaves. Ham Here!<\/strong> is intended to encourage more use of local repeaters and the national calling frequencies. We are not interested in becoming a repeater directory. The app was made solely for increasing repeater usage.\n <\/p>\n

The idea is pretty simple. Once logged in, using either your devices built-in GPS, lat\/long or City and State, the app will pull local repeaters in range according to the filter options you’ve chosen. You can then choose to “check-in” to a repeater you’re tuned into along with an optional note. Other local users of the app can see your call sign checked-in! The banner at the top is a convenient way to quickly let others know if you’re monitoring 2m simplex. More features to come provided enough hams use the app. We’re currently pulling the repeater info from amateurrepeaterdirectory.org<\/a> so the list isn’t as comprehensive as it could be and is exclusively US-based at this time.\n <\/p>\n
