TYT UV8000E Range Test Video

I have created a video testing the range of the TYT UV8000E handheld radio. I am preparing  written and video reviews for the radio, but until then, I thought I’d post this here.

My LoTW – The first mobile app for ARRL’s Logbook of The World (Part 1)

When I discovered ARRL’s Logbook of The World, through a seminar in my local club (RAUNG), I immediately registered and started using it. Being a software developer myself, specializing in mobile apps, the next thing I did was to search for an app that would allow me to view, or even manage my QSOs on my phone.

Unfortunately, the search produced very little results. And these apps I found were only targeting Android. So, I made a decision and started creating my own app for LoTW.
