Electronic Circuit Radio Schematic and World DX Database

Revere the past and hold onto it. But also embrace the future. Change is always with us. It’s best to adjust willingly rather than resist desperately. This way, we benefit by getting great things from both.

That’s the ‘Sparks of Radio’!

About RagChew.app

RagChew.app displays information from ongoing on-the-air gatherings (or "nets") for amateur radio hobbyists. You still need a radio to communicate properly with the other netizens, but this website makes it easy to see who has checked in and from where. It shows checked in station details and notes written by the operator logging for the net.

Additionally, you can chat on the "blue screen" or "AIM" window, without downloading any software.

RagChew.app works in any modern browser or mobile phone.

How does it work?

RagChew.app mirrors the information on NetLogger servers. Any net where the operator has chosen to use NetLogger should show up here. If you really want to know how it all works, you can check out the source code.

We have permission from the NetLogger folks to display this information, but we are not affiliated with them. If you have any questions about or problems with this site, please contact Tim.

Built with ❤️ by KI5ZDF (Tim Morgan). This code is open source. We are not affiliated with NetLogger.org. Send corrections or report spam/abuse.
