HAMgpt is your personal amateur-radio copilot. Given your license class, radio, antenna, and location — plus what's on the air right now — it tells you what to actually do today: which bands are open, who you can work, repeaters near you, live DX, POTA/SOTA, satellite passes, and more. It's personalized, live, and precise — and unlike a general chatbot it never invents frequencies, tones, or license privileges.
What you can do with HAMgpt #
- See which HF/VHF/UHF bands are open from your location right now, and who you can work.
- Find repeaters near you — with the correct offset and CTCSS/DCS tone, not a guess.
- Discover live DXpeditions and POTA/SOTA activity you can realistically work with your antenna.
- Get satellite pass predictions for your location.
- Look up license privileges — bands, modes, and power limits — by class and country.
- Design antennas (Yagi, dipole, vertical, magnetic loop) with real, to-scale dimensions.
- Practice for your amateur-radio license exam.
How HAMgpt is different from a general chatbot #
A general model answers from memory and will happily guess a repeater offset or a band privilege. HAMgpt is grounded: it knows your station and reads livedata, so its answers are personal to your QTH and this minute — and when it doesn't have something, it says so instead of making it up.
