Demo · for an operator
See what your first contact looks like.
You get a throwaway account and land on the First Contact path: pick your radio, find something you can actually reach from where you are standing, make the call, log it.
No sign-up, no email, no password, and nothing transmits. You are reading screens, not keying a radio.

What you can try
What is on the air near you
Repeaters, nodes and parks around a point, each with a plain answer: worth trying from a handheld, or not. Turn on “only what is on the air right now” and watch half the list go.
The five steps
Radio, where you are, simplex, a repeater, a net — with the words to say at each one. The path remembers where you stopped.
Look up a callsign
The FCC and ISED records, read straight: class, status, expiry, and what it means for what you may do.
What the real thing adds
A verified callsign, so a club can trust you and Wavelog will take your sign-in; your milestones kept; a repeater you can claim as trustee; and your own place in a club.
