Introducing HAM4LIFE — put your station live on the web

Ever wanted the world to see what you’re working, in real time, while you operate? That’s exactly what HAM4LIFE does. It’s a free live station dashboard: your logger feeds the radio status, and your own public page shows it to anyone — updating live, second by second.

No screenshots, no manual updates. You call CQ, and your card lights up ON AIR.

What it looks like

Every station gets a clean live card that shows what matters while you’re on the air:

• Frequency, band and mode — updating as you tune
• Callsign and operator
• Radio you’re using
• Last worked — the station in your log, live
• A big ON AIR / OFF AIR indicator, so visitors instantly know if you’re active

Your public page lives at a simple address like ham4life.com/live/<yourcall>, ready to share on your QRZ profile, socials, or a contest/event announcement.

Works with the loggers you already use

HAM4LIFE doesn’t care which logger you run. A small, free Windows helper — the Web Dashboard Feeder — picks up your radio status and forwards it. It supports:

• N1MM Logger+ (over UDP)
• MiniBook (over UDP)
• Ham Radio Deluxe (over its TCP IP Server)

The card type is detected automatically — you don’t configure anything about that. Point the feeder at HAM4LIFE, enter your key, and you’re live.

More than a single card

• Event pages — running a special event, contest weekend or Field Day? Add a title, description and photos to your callsign page and publish it.
• The feed wall — browse every live station on one page, grouped by callsign, all updating at once.
• Multiple radios? Add several feeds under one callsign — each becomes its own card.

Getting started (a few minutes)

1. Create a free account on ham4life.com and confirm your email.
2. Register your callsign — you confirm you’re the rightful holder; that’s the honour system, and abuse gets accounts blocked.
3. Generate your API key (one per callsign, shared by all your feeders).
4. Install the Web Dashboard Feeder, enter your feed ID + API key, and enable your source (N1MM, MiniBook or HRD).
5. Watch your card go ON AIR.

That’s it. Everything else — event pages, photos, choosing which cards show — happens on one simple dashboard.

Ready to go live?

Head over to ham4life.com, create your account, and put your station on the map. I’d love to see your callsign light up on the wall.
