A live view of the bands as they move. Follow current spots by band, mode, continent, country, and callsign.
- Real-time spot table
- Band and mode filters
- Grid, DXCC, ITU, and CQ context
Public HAM RADIO services
Four focused tools for the work between a callsign and a connection: see what is moving, understand what will travel, connect directly, and build on the data.
The service set
Each service has a different job. Together they make a compact toolkit for finding activity, reading conditions, and connecting software to the HAM RADIO world.
A live view of the bands as they move. Follow current spots by band, mode, continent, country, and callsign.
Model a path before you call. Compare UTC hours and frequencies with locators, power, antenna choice, and sunspot data.
voacapl engineA universal API for HAM RADIO operators. Use documented endpoints for accounts, authentication, cluster data, and contest information.
A direct Telnet gateway to the DX-Cluster network, with a public node page for status, uptime, users, and live traffic statistics.
A practical loop
Keep the workflow close to the signal. Start with what is happening now, test the path, then take the useful parts into your own tools.
Scan the DX-Tron Cluster for fresh spots and the context around them.
Use VOACAP to see how the path changes across UTC hours and HF frequencies.
Use the DX-Tron Ham API when the next useful view belongs in your own application.
One home base
DX-Tron brings the public-facing HAM RADIO services under one roof. Open a service directly, or move through the whole loop when the path calls for it.
