N4KGL RaDAR Rally Nov 2025

RaDAR is Rapid Deployment Amateur Radio. See www.radarrally.info. Tom WD0HBR and N4KGL did team RaDAR from Eastgate Park in Dothan, AL. We made four stops and walked one kilometer between them. We got five contacts at each stop, all on 20 meters with the FX-4CR rig and the Alexloop mag loop. The modes included SSB, FT-8, and CW. RaDAR is a great outdoor ham radio activity with some exercise to boot.

The New RaDAR Rally Spotter/Logger

A big thanks to Eddie ZS6BNE, the founder of RaDAR, for using his IT skills to provide us with a RaDAR Rally-Specific Spotter/Logger. I highly encourage its use for the November 2nd RaDAR Rally. I am excited about the spotting function. You can use the first link to spot yourself. That will help other RaDAR ops and chasers to find you. You can check for spots using the second link below. Contacts can be logged with the first link. It is optional to log in real-time.  You may make more than five contacts at a stop, but please choose the five you want to keep for the score and delete the rest. The third link will submit your log and calculate your score. I encourage chasers to enter contacts with RaDAR ops. Chasers will get a score, and if their contacts are QSL, then the RaDAR op gets a bonus. The basic logging and spotting are working. Eddie can tweak the evaluation after the event if required. Please feel free to submit a summary according to the rules if you don't use the logger.
