xOTA is a free and open platform for licensed amateur radio operators to share and find spotting information, short weather reports, atmospheric conditions, and more — especially when you’re out of range of normal internet or cellular service. Using satellite messengers or radio-based data links, operators can still send and receive information and will always have a method to self-spot.

For hunters and activators, xOTA also includes a simple logging and alert system. You can set it up to ping you when a park or callsign you’re chasing goes live, or keep track of your own activations without juggling multiple tools. It’s meant to be a one-stop-shop for portable activations.

Mobile applications are also coming soon. 📱
