        • Want to work me during a Parks On The Air Activation?

        The HamAlert app is a fantastic tool to ensure you never miss when I’m activating a park. Available on both iOS and Android, HamAlert lets you set a trigger to receive push notifications whenever my call sign, KQ4UUR, is spotted.

        With a simple setup, you’ll get instant alerts showing the park I’m activating and the frequency where I was most recently spotted. Whether you’re chasing parks or just want to tune in to my activations, HamAlert keeps you in the loop, real-time, so you can easily make contact.

        Download either the ANDROID APP or the IOS APP
