[SMCARA] A couple of cool APs

[Tom Shelton, ND3N]

Have you ever been in a new location and wanted to access a local repeater?  I've beeb using the "repeaterbook" ap on my phone for awhile,  and added it to my Android tablet this morning.  This ap uses your devices location service and shows you all the repeaters within a certain radius of your location.  The repeater bands, modes, and size of the circle to search are all selectable, so if you only want to see 2M FM repeaters within 25 jiles, you can easily limit the search.  

I found it in the Google play store.  After I downloaded that ap, the Play Store suggested a few others, so I also downloaded the "DX Chaser" ap.  This ap connects to your LotW account and keeps track of your DXCC,  WAS, and a few others awards.  It's very easy to use, though initial setup took a little while (I have over 10,000 QSO listed on LotW).

If you have an Android device, check these out.  I can't speak for I-Phone or I-Pad availability.
