[RRDXA] New hamradio callbook server - HamQTH.com

[Martin]

We (OK2CQR, OK1HRA and OK1RR) 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!
