I don't know if it's my phone or the app but, some pages are similar to lined notebook paper and the lines are not spaced wide enough for the words on those lines to be clearly read. So I'm not sure like this app. The idea is sound. But the developer should be aware of the readability issues on various devices.

Works well. And to the guy who thinks the lookup should be limited to hams only, the FCC treats call signs as public information and anyone can look up your call sign on the FCC database.

Useless if you live outside of the US

This may be a good app for such things as looking up call signs? But I am legally blind in my fonts on my Galaxy S7 need to be larger. This completely rules out me being able to use this app because the text has to be small otherwise it is all on top of the characters from different lines. In other words text is over text and I cannot read it. If the app took into consideration that larger text could be used, and then allow the user to scroll up or down, then I would be able to look and see how useful the app might be? I just can't tell and I wish things were different.

The contact log also comes with a handy search feature for quickly locating that one of a kind long distance contact you like to brag about. The search is focused on fields chosen by the user. If you want to search for a specific call sign select station as the search location and enter the call sign in the search box. Search keywords are CASE SENSITIVE meaning capital or lowercase letter DO matter.
