Everything on the bench

This is where the projects taking shape in the VA3HKW shack come together—from amateur-radio tools and Android apps to desktop software, games and web experiments. Some are polished and in regular use, while others are still evolving on the workbench. Each project started with an idea, a problem to solve, or simply the question: “Can I build this?”

Primary current project

Canadian Ham Lookup for Android

A purpose-built Android callsign app centred on Canadian amateur-radio data. It is currently in closed testing on Google Play and will be available on Google Play soon. The app will be free to use, with no ads and no nag screens; a voluntary donate-to-the-author option may be added later.

Voice lookup

Privacy-aware
Public mailing-address display is optional and hidden until requested.

Persistent band
The current logging band is restored across app restarts.
