NEW! Connect to the FT8 skimmer

Never again miss an opening or some new DX! Now you can connect your favorite logging or award-tracking software to our internal Telnet server, which aggregates FT8 spots across the entire RHR network.

  • Host: spots.remotehamradio.com
  • Port: 7373

Spots contain the DX callsign and grid, SNR, and station where the spot was heard. Here’s an excerpt:

Behind the scenes, stations no longer sit idle between connections. Instead, they constantly scan across the bands, decoding FT8 and serving up the latest spots to the cluster.
