A small collection of Amateur (Ham) radio tools put together by Graham McIntire W5ISP.
Ruby 1.9+ is required.
-
To encode a gridsquare from decimal latitude/longitude
h = HamRadio.new grid = h.grid_encode([33.113675,-96.487856])
-
Callsign lookup (using callbytxt.org)
h = HamRadio.new call = h.lookup_callsign 'w5isp'
Will return a hash such as :

Fork the project
-
Start a feature/bugfix branch

Make sure to add tests for it. This is important so I don’t break it in a future version unintentionally.

Please try not to mess with the Rakefile, version, or history. If you want to have your own version, or is otherwise necessary, that is fine, but please isolate to its own commit so I can cherry-pick around it.
