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.
BAND / MODE MATRIX LIVE
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 — inside and outside your organisation — 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 warns you.

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 the person organising it to someone who 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 usual roster — same callsign and password across every activity, no need to create new accounts each time.
  • Step in live when needed: force-release a band/mode or fix a mistaken QSO.
  • Download the full activity log in ADIF or Cabrillo as soon as it ends.
  • Check participation stats by operator, band and mode.
