HelloHAM: Ham Radio Companion

HelloHAM brings your amateur radio tools together on iPhone. Keep a QSO logbook, create personal QSL cards, look up repeater references, and plan satellite passes at home or in the field.

LOG YOUR CONTACTS Record callsigns, frequencies, modes, signal reports, time, and notes. Edit, search, and filter your logs. Optionally add your station location, Maidenhead grid, altitude, place name, and an Apple Weather snapshot. Expand coordinate details when you need them.

CREATE QSL CARDS Turn a logged contact into a high-resolution QSL image. Choose a layout, add your station callsign, and save or send the image with the iOS share sheet. Cards reflect your personal log and do not provide mutual confirmation or third-party certification.

KEEP REPEATER REFERENCES OFFLINE Download China mainland repeater references and search by region, mode, name, or frequency. Favorite your usual stations for quick access. Use location to identify your city and browse its repeater reference count and list. Records with actual station coordinates can appear on the map and support distance calculations.

PLAN SATELLITE PASSES Track the ISS and selected amateur radio satellites. View azimuth, elevation, sky tracks, and pass windows for the next 48 hours. Use the camera and compass for AR antenna pointing guidance, set local reminders 5 minutes before a pass, and view ISS frequency and Doppler compensation references.

KEEP CONTROL OF YOUR DATA Basic logs stay on your device. Import and export ADIF files, and create or restore full local backups. Downloaded repeater data and unexpired orbit data are available offline. Weather lookups and data updates require a connection. Red night mode provides an option for nighttime use.

No registration is required for basic tools. Location, camera, and notification permissions are requested when needed. Background location is not used. Logs are not automatically uploaded. Personal repeaters and public submissions are disabled in this release.

Repeater data is reference information and does not guarantee current operation. Records without actual station coordinates are excluded from map positioning and nearby searches. Satellite directions are predictions; accuracy depends on orbit age, observer location, and phone compass accuracy. Follow local regulations when operating radio equipment. HelloHAM does not connect to or control a radio.
