Editorial interest 79/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

CQDeck offers US amateur radio operators simulated contact practice, license-aware band tools, and refreshers for getting on the air.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-28 issue.

For: New and returning US amateur radio operators
Worth noticing: Key Up contacts are simulated in the browser and never transmitted over the air; the dial also marks license-permitted transmit areas.

Field notes

The dial interface lets a visitor switch among Technician, General, and Extra licenses and inspect example frequencies, including simplex, FT8, CW, CB, and weather-radio entries. Key Up is described as simulated browser practice, not an actual transmission. The page also says its dashboard filters band conditions, parks, and satellite activity to a license; alerts and exam study are described as forthcoming.
