📡 TOTA Now Fully Integrated in Ham2K Portable Logger!
Great news for all activators and hunters!
With the latest update of Ham2K Portable Logger, the Towers On The Air (TOTA) activity is now fully integrated directly into the application.
What does this mean in practice?
✅ Native support for TOTA references while logging QSOs
✅ Automatic recognition and handling of tower references
✅ More convenient field logging during activations
✅ Faster and more accurate log uploads
TOTA is now officially among the fully supported international activities in one of the most widely used portable logging applications today.
Special thanks to the Ham2K development team for the excellent cooperation!
So – charge your batteries, pack your antenna… and head to the next tower! 🏰📡
