HAMgpt serves as a personal assistant for amateur radio operators, providing real-time, personalized recommendations based on the user's license class, radio equipment, antenna, and location. Its primary purpose is to help users determine the most effective and relevant amateur radio activities they can engage in at any given moment, leveraging live data about current radio conditions and on-air activity.
Key features include the ability to show which HF, VHF, and UHF bands are open from the user's location, along with information on who can be contacted on those bands. HAMgpt identifies nearby repeaters and supplies precise technical details such as the correct offset and CTCSS/DCS tones. The tool also highlights live DXpeditions and POTA/SOTA activities that are realistically reachable with the user's antenna setup. Additionally, it offers satellite pass predictions tailored to the user's location, as well as a license privilege lookup that details allowed bands, modes, and power limits by both class and country.
For those interested in equipment and exam preparation, HAMgpt provides antenna design tools for Yagi, dipole, vertical, and magnetic loop antennas, delivering real, to-scale dimensions. It also includes resources for practicing amateur-radio license exams. Unlike general-purpose chatbots, HAMgpt emphasizes accuracy and reliability, explicitly stating that it does not fabricate frequencies, tones, or license privileges. Its responses are grounded in the user's station profile and current conditions, ensuring that recommendations are both relevant and trustworthy.
HAMgpt is aimed at amateur radio enthusiasts seeking actionable guidance tailored to their specific station and privileges.
