AMATEUR RADIO CONTEST & ACTIVATION MANAGEMENT

No band gets claimed twice.

Centinel DX coordinates in real time which operator is working each band and mode, keeps a duplicate-free log, and shows the activity to anyone who wants to follow it — for any contest or activation you run.

No limit on contests or activations, on any plan.

OVERVIEW

One app, three ways to see it

Centinel DX is the platform where you run your amateur radio contests and activations: each operator claims their band and mode before transmitting, the system prevents collisions, and everyone can follow what's happening live.

NO COLLISIONS

One slot, one operator

The band/mode matrix locks each combination the moment someone claims it. No one else can take it until it's released.

BUILT-IN LOG

No repeated contacts

Every QSO is checked against the activity log instantly: if that callsign has already been worked on that band and mode, the system flags it.

OPEN TRACKING

Visible without signing up

Anyone can check which stations are active right now in a contest, with no account or password needed.

FEATURES

Built for everyone involved

From whoever's organising to whoever just wants to follow the contest from home.

FOR ORGANISERS

Full control, no spreadsheets

  • Create as many activities as you need, each with its own bands, modes and logging rules.
  • Assign operators from your regular roster — same callsign and password for every activity, no new accounts each time.
  • Step in live if needed: force-release a band/mode or fix a bad QSO.
  • Download the full activity log in ADIF or Cabrillo the moment it ends.
  • Check participation stats by operator, band and mode.

BEYOND THE MATRIX

Everything a serious contest needs

Scoring, tracking, even the QSL — without leaving the platform.

1

Live propagation map

See on a map who's receiving you right now, with real data from PSKReporter — no need to wait until the contest ends to know if you're being heard.

2

Downloadable QSL cards and certificates

Turn on an automatic QSL per contact or a single summary certificate, with your own template — each participant downloads it with their callsign, no manual sending required.

3

Live chat per activity

A text channel to coordinate your team while the contest runs, with mentions and history — without leaving the app.

4

Scoring, your way

Fixed per contact, a band table, or a band-and-mode table — set up whichever your own rules use, and the standings calculate themselves.

5

Automatic exchange numbering

Assigned automatically in phone and CW, never duplicated even when several operators log at once, and flags any gap in the numbering.

6

More bands and modes than ever

From 160m to 70cm, plus PMR446, CB27 and the QO-100 satellite — with 13 modes, from SSB and CW to FT8, DMR or D-STAR.
