📡 Real-Time Space Weather

Instantly check the most critical metrics for propagation:

  • Solar Flux Index (SFI): Higher values (>100) generally mean better HF propagation.
  • Planetary A-Index: A daily average of geomagnetic activity. Lower values are better.
  • Kp-Index: Measures geomagnetic storms. Keep an eye out for storms (Kp ≥ 5) that can disrupt communications.
  • Bz/Bt: Monitor the Interplanetary Magnetic Field to predict band conditions.

🌲 Parks on the Air (POTA)

See who is on the air right now! HamWatch fetches live spots from pota.app so you can hunt activators directly from your wrist or phone.

  • Live Spots: See frequency, mode, and park details.
  • Filters: Easily filter spots by band (40m, 20m, etc.) and mode (SSB, CW, FT8).
  • Direct Link: Tap a spot to open the activator's profile.

Join the Journey

HamWatch is a passion project, and I'm building it with the Ham Radio community in mind. I believe the best apps are built together.

I am not lying when I say that this would not have been built without KK0NIG's drive, WA7SPY's support, and KN6JHT's ideas and testing!

You can follow along with the development, see what I'm currently working on, and view requested features on the public GitHub Project Board.

I really want to hear from you! Whether you have a feature idea, found a bug, or just have a question, please don't hesitate to reach out. You can email me directly at james@cast.llc with anything you'd like to share. I really appreciate your feedback and support in making HamWatch better for everyone.
