There are some problems with open, public available downloads. Downloads are now available to registered users only. If you are not already registered, sign-up and all areas of this web site will be accessible. Enjoy my quite large archive with > 250 files. If you find it useful, consider, please, a small donation to your local Animal Shelter where the "allmighty dollar" is in the command. A dollar or two may be enough to keep a dog or cat alive for one more day, perhaps the day that someone will come to adopt them.
If my site helped to keep alive a single dog or cat, the huge time amount spent building up this site is not lost.

Use your callsign as user name. I assume that my web is rather uninteresting to those who are not licensed and not involved in DX, CW and contesting. Do not use numbers or meaningless character garbage as your user name. Such entries are deleted without warning because it seems that no living person but a spambot is behind. Many thanks for understanding!
New sign-up policy: due to continuous flooding and several attacks, a new level of sign-up policy was necessary. Now, there are two steps:
- sign-up with your call sign as user name and choose your password (click above). No nicknames please, only a valid ham radio call sign is accepted! Nothing happens until you are MANUALLY assigned with a member or another status. You will receive an email with a notification.
- you should be activated. This is also a MANUAL procedure which is done mostly at the same moment as (1).
Your sign-up details are carefully checked and all sign-up requests without any valid ham radio call sign are deleted without any warning. Non-ham sign-up requests (part vendors, publishers etc.) are not accepted.
 We are pleased to inform you about the new callbook server and database offering an unlimited evaluation for free. Created initially as a supplement to the CQRLOG logging software, it developed into a big, standalone project serving the Ham Radio Community worldwide.
Why another hamradio callbook?Since the owner of the one of popular callbook servers decided to hide all addresses until you get registered and log-in, Petr, OK2CQR decided to write his own. This callbook, now available at http://www.hamqth.com/ provides all information for free because you entered data to callbook for free and didn't get paid for it. So it won't be right to ask for any payment if you want to publish your data. Also, we believe that the "auto fill" features that use the callbook servers in the background to fetch callsign data as soon as the user types in a callsign into his logging program is a very useful option which should NOT be discouraged, in contrary to some other calbook server owners. You can register to the HamQTH.com server, add or edit your address or QSL route, write some biography details, put photos here etc. What is unique, you can choose if your address or other details will be shown also to unregistered users. Your profile is split into two parts, you can enter your on-air nickname and QTH as the nearest large city (example) which will be "auto filled" if requested. You can leave empty your actual name and address if you feel compromised. Of course, your profile can be deleted any time and HamQTH.com will never store any info about you... HamQTH.com includes other interesting features like activity overview using the DX Custer spots and RBN (Reverse Beacon Network) entries, customizable multi-language user interface and much more. HamQTH.com uses exclusively data widely available on the Internet for free. The server space and other web site related things are, of course, not available for free, it would be appreciated if you send a small donation. Or just spread all over the world that this nice site exists. We'd like to have as much users as possible. How can you help?- register, create and keep up-to-date your profile and use HamQTH.com as frequently as possible.
- tell your friends about HamQTH.com, spread this info everywhere you can (publish it in your local ham radio magazine etc.). Remind them to create or update their profiles, add photos and more details, publish your station and QTH info, a story or whatever you want. You can have your personal web site there!
- provide us with any electronic callbook of your country, keep us informed about callbook download links etc.
- consider to create a localization file in your language. Contact us (to prevent double effort), we will tell you immediately if we need your language file.
HamQTH.com can't exist without your support. Use it, promote it and keep it up to date!

While browsing the bands I regularly bump to stations signing his call/QRP. There should be mentioned that such practice is not only stupid but illegal in some countries. They can have a strict declaration that ham radio operators are allowed to contact properly licensed stations only and in doubt, they have to wait until the authenticity of a station is confirmed. Therefore your call/QRP is very bad practice because hams in some countries can be not allowed to QSO you!
QSL Managers as of Jan. 22, 2012. It provides simple QSL info in CSV text format in order call;manager_call;publishing_date. No addresses, no other info than Manager's call sign. The date format is yyyy-mm and does not mean the validity date limits, however if a station has multiple QSL managers, it helps to choose the right one. Download 
It is our sad duty to report the passing of Johan (Joop) Bok, P43JB at approximately 17:00 GMT today, Thursday, January 19, 2012.
