Station Manager
Alpha — still being built

Run your ham station from your browser — free and open.

Station Manager is free, open-source software for running an amateur radio station on Linux. Install one thing, open your browser, and you have logging, station setup, rig control and FT8 in one place — running on your own computer, with your log staying there.

Station Manager's contacts map: 128 logged contacts drawn as great-circle arcs radiating from a station in southern Africa to Europe, east Asia, the Americas and Australia, each arc coloured by the band it was worked on.
Every contact you log, plotted as you work it — arcs coloured by band, grey line overlaid.

Log your contacts

Log a contact in seconds without leaving the keyboard. Callsign details fill themselves in, and a slow connection never holds you up.

Control your rig

See frequency, mode and band from your rig over CAT — and tune it from your browser, without reaching for the dial.

Work FT8

Decode and operate FT8 — answer a CQ or work a pile-up — attended, the way the mode is meant to run.

Forward everywhere

Send every contact on to QRZ, Club Log and more. If the internet drops, they wait their turn and go when it is back.

A look inside

One place for the whole station, in whatever browser you already have open — no separate logger to reconcile afterwards, nothing to keep in step by hand.

Station Manager's FT8 screen: a band-activity list of decoded messages with country flags, signal report and bearing; an operate panel part-way through a contact with Japan showing short-path distance and the message exchange; and a band-occupancy spectrum marking the transmit offset.
Working FT8 — decodes with country, bearing and signal report on the left; the exchange and your transmit slot on the right.
