This is a living document. It reflects where the project is headed, not a shipping commitment. Some of these items are actively in progress, others are further out. If something on this list matters to you, let me know. That kind of feedback moves things up.
- ✓User accounts — shipped April 23, 2026 (v5.2.0). Optional accounts launched. Guest mode is unchanged; if you sign up, your local scratchpad and preferences roll into your account. Email verification, password reset, captcha, and a grid request form all came along for the ride.
- ✓6-character grid squares — shipped April 29, 2026 (v5.2.9). Layered on top of the 4-character system. Your 4-char still drives nav and widgets; 6-char adds QTH precision for radar and satellite passes. 6-char requests auto-approve when your 4-char parent is already monitored.
- ✓DX cluster on the dashboard — shipped April 23–28, 2026 (v5.2.5+). Live ticker on the dashboard with speed control, country tags, and band coloring. A full /spots page followed with filtering, pin-to-top, and a sibling tab for POTA spots.
- More Toolbox panels — the Toolbox launched with five tabs and more are coming. If there's a quick-reference tool you'd find useful at the operating position, I want to hear about it.
- Digital mode tools — dedicated content and tools for FT8, JS8Call, Winlink, and other digital modes. The mode guides on the Frequencies page are a start, not a destination.
- Smarter on-air resources — more practical, utility-focused tools for the ham operator on the radio in 2026. Less reference, more workflow.
- Frequencies page redesign — the Frequencies page is currently a wall of text and numbers, and I want to do better. I'm not yet sure exactly what shape this takes — visual band charts, scannable cards, an interactive picker, something else — and this is one I genuinely want feedback on. If you use that page and have an opinion on what would actually help you at the radio, the Contact page is the way in.
- Community-driven improvements — if you're using HAM-HQ and have an idea, the Contact page is right there. Features requested more than once move up the list.
This site is getting built either way. It started because I wanted something better for myself, and it keeps growing because other people are finding it useful too. The community shapes the pace and the priorities.
