Signal found
The public lookup uses callsigns and radio facts only. Names, exact grids, signal reports, and private ADIF details are not published.
Where it started
The first signal
Twelve contacts from a scooter-sized portable station—and the beginning of everything that followed.
A scooter-sized station in Washington, D.C. reached operators across the eastern United States. The map turns a number in the log into the footprint of that first day.

The honest log
The days that didn’t count—but still mattered
Not every trip ends with ten contacts. The incomplete days still belong to the timeline.
Complete record
The activation timeline
Every successful outing since the first activation. A 2-fer or multi-park activation stays together as one operating session.
