Receive notifications when a desired amateur radio station appears on air.

Features & Capabilities

HamAlert is a powerful companion Chrome extension for amateur radio enthusiasts that delivers real-time push notifications when your favorite radio stations come on air. Connected with the HamAlert web service (hamalert.org), it monitors multiple sources including the Reverse Beacon Network, SOTAwatch, POTA, DX cluster, and PSK Reporter.

Users can customize their alerts by filtering spots based on various criteria such as DXCC entities, callsigns, SOTA summit references, CQ zones, continents, bands, modes, specific times and days, sources, and even spotter callsign and DXCC. This ensures that operators only receive relevant notifications tailored to their interests, making it an essential tool for staying connected and engaged within the amateur radio community.

User Reviews

HamAlert is praised for its easy setup, reliable alerts for ham radio activities, ad-free experience, and strong developer support. It helps many users with DX chasing, certification, and spotting. However, common issues include malfunctioning alert filters, app crashes on certain devices, sound notification problems, and some usability challenges. A few users report problems with registration and login processes.

Pros

Easy setup and configuration.
Effective alerts for desired callsigns and spots, useful for DX hunting, contests, and certificates.
Ad-free experience with no ads.
Good developer support and responsiveness.
Flexible interface with powerful queries and multiple sources (Cluster, PSK Reporter).

Cons

Some users experience alerts not working reliably or triggers/filters not functioning as expected, especially for specific modes or prefixes.
App crashes on launch on some devices (e.g., Samsung S9).
Sound notification issues reported on some phones (e.g., Moto G).
User interface could be more user-friendly, including confusing trigger setup (e.g., time triggers entering UTC instead of local time).
Broken registration process causing login failures for some users.

Stopped working. No longer getting any alerts whilst calling on FT8. Haven't changed my trigger which had previously been fine. Pskreporter is showing signals getting out.
