Find, run and grow nets

Callboard is one place to find, run and grow ham and GMRS nets. Net control logs check-ins from a keyboard-first console, anyone can see who's logged, and clubs keep their roster and coverage without paperwork.

Coming soon. Get one email when Callboard launches, and nothing else.

What it does

What it does

Callboard: Keyboard-first net console

Keyboard-first net console

Type part of a call and press Return to log it. Flags like traffic or mobile go after the call, and punctuation keys run commands.

Callboard: Net board for ham and GMRS

Net board for ham and GMRS

Browse current nets by service and by how you'd join: repeater, simplex, HF, AllStar, EchoLink, DMR and more.

Callboard: Club workspace

Club workspace

Roster, member participation and net health come from your club's net logs, so officers keep nothing by hand.

Callboard: Check-ins log themselves

Check-ins log themselves

Every net you check into becomes a contact in your logbook, and you can add other contacts by hand.

Features

Built for net control

39 things Callboard does, grouped by what you're trying to do.

Run a net

13 features
  • Several loggers, one log

    Alternates and scribes log alongside net control. When two people log the same station, Callboard merges them into one row.

    More with Pro
  • Hand off net control

    Offer control to an alternate and they accept it. If net control goes quiet for a minute, control is released so an alternate can pick it up.

  • Speaking order by group

  • Scripts with fill-ins

    More with Pro
  • Close with a count

  • A report for every session

  • Keeps logging through a dropout
  • Run a net from your phone
  • Heard list
  • Station ID reminder
  • Undo your last entry
  • CSV export, always free
  • Practice sessions
What these do
Speaking order by group
Priority and short-time stations come first, then each check-in group in the order logged. Next brings up whoever is first in line.
Scripts with fill-ins
Follow your net's script phase by phase, with the net name, time and counts filled in for you.
Close with a count
When you close the net, Callboard gives you the check-in and traffic count to read on the air.
A report for every session
Each session gets a report with every check-in, traffic count and who ran it.
Keeps logging through a dropout
If the internet drops, keep logging. Entries go up in order when you reconnect.
Run a net from your phone
On a phone the console fits one hand, with Done, Heard and Next buttons under the entry field.
Heard list
Jot down a partial call you couldn't catch and come back to it later, without slowing the net down.
Station ID reminder
The console shows when your station ID is due.
Undo your last entry
Undo takes back your own last change, even with other loggers working the same net.
CSV export, always free
Export any session you ran as CSV. Your own logs are never held back on any plan.
Practice sessions
Run a practice session to learn the console or train a new net control without touching the real log.

Find and start nets

7 features
  • Am I logged? live page

    Anyone can open a net's live page, enter a call and see if they're logged and where they are in line. No account needed.

  • Propose a new net

    Post a net idea, gather interest and the times that suit people, line up net control and an alternate, then launch it.

    More with Pro
  • GMRS nets too
  • Every way to join, listed
  • Follow nets
  • Add to calendar
  • Listings stay current
What these do
GMRS nets too
GMRS callsigns and nets work everywhere ham ones do.
Every way to join, listed
Each net page lists its frequencies, tones, nodes and talkgroups, with a link out to RepeaterBook for repeater details.
Follow nets
Follow the nets you care about and see their next session on your Home screen.
Add to calendar
Add any net's schedule to your calendar.
Listings stay current
A net with no sessions for six weeks shows as dormant on its own, so the board doesn't fill up with nets that stopped.

Keep nets covered

3 features
  • Claim an open net

    Upcoming sessions without net control show up under Help out. Claim one, or volunteer as alternate, in a tap.

  • Cover a no-show

    If net control hasn't started on time, the first alternate on standby gets a banner to take over.

  • Your shifts
What these do

Listening and assistants

3 features
  • Listener

    Let Callboard listen to the net through your microphone, or paste a transcript, and the calls it hears go to net control's Heard tray.

  • Suggestions you approve

    Calls an assistant hears wait in a tray for a person to accept with one key. Nothing is logged on its own unless net control turns that on.

  • Works with Claude and ChatGPTComing soon
