What's New at M7COV?

📍 What is it?

The new APRS Check-In page allows stations to register their check-ins and become part of our growing M7COV amateur radio community.

🎫 Something special is coming!

We're also working on personalised M7COV APRS QSL Check-In Cards for participating stations.

These will be a little keepsake to recognise your participation and give you something special to remember your check-in.

🔗 Where can I find it?

Visit the new page here:

You can also find it under The Shack → APRS Check-In in the main website menu.

As always, more improvements and new features are being worked on behind the scenes.

The dashboard includes:
