A real web browser, with the whole station built into it. Every picture on this page is the actual program, not a mock-up.
The world is 32,400 grid squares. Every contact you have ever logged already claims one. Grid Rush scores them, draws your frontier, and ranks you against every operator on QSL World, all from your own log, with nothing to import and nothing to set up.
Log the moment you make the contact. Eleven templates change the form to the kind of operating you are doing, from POTA and SOTA to satellites, contests and DXpeditions. Import from LoTW and QRZ, upload to LoTW through your own TQSL, to QRZ, and to eQSL, and let people share one club log with their own callsigns and roles.
Five views of the same log: a flat map, a 3D globe, the day and night terminator, a Lambert conic projection centred on your station, and an azimuthal map centred on your station, which is the one that shows the true beam heading to every contact.
DX cluster, your own live cluster connection, Parks on the Air and World Wide Flora and Fauna, on a list and on a globe. Post a spot under your own callsign. Put callsigns or prefixes on a watch list and get a chip beside the clock, or an email from your own mail account, when one of them is on the air.
Forty channels of live CW over the internet, sent and copied by ear. Hold the spacebar and you are keying. HAMilton, an AI operator, answers you in a private training channel that nobody else can hear, and a coach translates what came in and suggests what to send.
Your card is your identity, drawn on demand for every QSO the moment it is logged; nobody has to send anything. Twenty templates, a library of frames, flags, emoji and service logos, 63 bundled fonts, a map of the actual path on each card, and an album of every card other operators have drawn for you.
Every QSO another operator logged with you appears here, drawn with their card, newest on top. Paper cards you received in the mail can be photographed and filed against the contact they confirm.
The day and night line in real time over terrain, satellite, streets or a night map, with your QSOs and grid fields on it. Thirteen amateur satellites are tracked by catalogue number with their uplink, downlink and mode; when one is workable from your station a chip appears beside the clock. Solar flux, K index, MUF and a band-by-band forecast sit underneath.
Drop a Cabrillo or ADIF file and every line is checked on your own computer: missing headers, bands outside the amateur allocations, reports that do not match the mode, a sent exchange that varies, duplicates, out-of-order times and implausible rates. Then the sponsor’s own robot, matched from the contest name, is one click away.
A proper three-pane mail client for any IMAP account, with guided setup for Gmail, Outlook, iCloud, Yahoo, Fastmail, Zoho and Purelymail. The card manager sends your QSL cards through it, and Watch sends its alerts from it.
Built in, not bolted on. Each one opens from the ham bar, the dashboard, or its own ham:// address.
The full Hamilton Radio Programmer: the CHIRP engine with 551 radio models, channels, tones and repeater maps, over a USB cable, in a tab.
Rig control for 67 radios across five protocol families: Icom and Xiegu CI-V, Yaesu, Kenwood, Elecraft, SDR and QRP. The browser owns the rig, so every page sees its state.
Hamilton Auto FT8 works the band by itself, and every contact it makes flows into the same logbook. It is a separate program, and Ham Browser opens it for you.
Type a callsign in the ham bar: the operator, their station, your history with them, and a live card on any web page when you hover a callsign.
Every new tab: ham radio news from the publishers themselves, antennas, satellites, DX and contests, space weather, and the weather at your station.
Bring your own Claude or OpenAI key for chat and page summaries, or open your Claude or ChatGPT account in the sidebar. Nothing goes anywhere but the provider you chose.
Saved sign-ins encrypted with your system keychain. Private windows keep nothing at all.
A real SQLite copy of your logbook lives on your computer. Grid Rush reads it, the logbook works from it when the site is unreachable, and saves are replayed when it is back.
Ham Browser collects nothing and sends nothing about your browsing. There is no setting to turn off, because there is nothing to turn off.
