Field notes

The project aggregates outdoor-radio program data across POTA, SOTA, WWFF, WWBOTA, GMA, and IOTA, then layers map tools such as distance measurement, protected-area boundaries, greyline information, and live-spot filters over it. Its provenance system is unusually explicit: records may be imported, program-verified, operator-confirmed, disputed, or withdrawn. The page also identifies the project’s builder and describes the data as experimental and regularly refreshed.
