Find Your Next QSO on SpottedHam
Spotting Info in General

More Than Just a DX Cluster. A Smarter Way to Connect.

Most spotting tools are built for "The Big DX." SpottedHam was built for the rest of us—the POTA, SOTA, the digital mode experimenters, QRP, and the local club members who just want to make a QSO. Expand your reach.

Self-Spotting for Every Occasion

If your a member of SpottedHam, your spots are sticky to the top of the board. Self spottters using the site, POTA spots, SOTA spots, DX Clusters, all member spots are sticky to the top. Making sure you show up on Spotted Ham is a great way to get more eyes on your activaty. DXers see POTA spots, and vice versa, POTA chasers see DXers for example. Spotted Ham gives you a simplified, mobile-friendly interface to "Spot Yourself" the moment you’re on the air.

Not Just for DX: Whether you’re hanging out on a local repeater or testing a new VarAC setup, SpottedHam is the place to let the community know you’re active. Spot yourself VOIP when you're on EchoLink hitting a repeater!

Real-Time Smart Alerts (Stop Chasing, Start Operating)

Stop staring at a scrolling waterfall or a cluttered cluster. With SpottedHam, you can set custom filters for the specific contacts you actually care about. If you're not setting up some alerts, you're missing out on one of the main features of this site!

• Filter by Anything: Create alerts for specific callsigns, park references, summits, modes (like FT8 or CW), or even specific grid squares.
• Email Notifications: We monitor the bands 24/7. When your target matches your filter, we’ll drop an email directly to your inbox using a robust/dedicated mail server so you can jump on the radio immediately.

Built for Modern Digital Modes

We love the classics, but we live in the digital age. SpottedHam is optimized for modern operating modes including FT8, FT4, VarAC, and Digital Voice. Want to see exactly what’s happening on 40m FT8? Use a bookmarkable filter like https://spottedham.com/?q=40m ft8.

Clean Data: No clutter, no complex legacy interfaces—just the data you need to find your next contact.
