- Its online contacts are logged with PROP_MODE=INTERNET, and the page states that nothing reaches the air.
Field notes
The logbook can accept contacts from the decoder or manual entry, export ADIF files, and map heard stations. Public KiwiSDR and OpenWebRX receivers are listed by distance; the page says they are checked live. The station catalogue claims more than 200 entries across 11 categories, while the recordings section shows signal examples with frequency, mode, duration, callsign and UTC timestamp.
