Your Profile

Your profile is your ham radio identity in Hamtrax. It shows your callsign, operating statistics, award progress, club memberships, and recent activity. Other operators can look you up by callsign to see your profile, so it's worth setting it up the way you want.

Viewing Your Profile​

Tap the Profile tab at the bottom of the screen. You'll see your profile as others see it, along with options to edit your information.

What's on Your Profile​

Your profile includes several sections:

Station Info​

Your callsign is displayed prominently at the top. Below it, you'll see:

  • Bio -- A short description you write about yourself and your station.
  • Profile picture -- Upload a photo or use a default avatar.
  • Location -- Your grid square and general location (city/state/country).

Operating Statistics​

Hamtrax calculates your stats automatically from your logbook:

  • Total QSOs -- Your lifetime contact count.
  • Unique DXCC entities -- How many countries/territories you've worked.
  • Bands used -- Which bands you've been active on.
  • Modes used -- Which modes you operate (SSB, CW, FT8, etc.).

Award Progress​

Visual progress rings for DXCC, WAS, and WAZ show how far along you are toward each award. Tap any ring to jump to the detailed award view.

Club Memberships​

If you've joined any clubs in Hamtrax, they'll appear here. Other operators can see which clubs you belong to.

Recent Activity​

A timeline of your most recent QSOs and milestones, giving visitors a sense of how active you are on the air.

Editing Your Profile​

  1. Go to the Profile tab.
  2. Tap the Edit button near the top of the screen.
  3. Update your bio, profile picture, or location.
  4. Tap Save to publish your changes.

tip

Your operating statistics and award progress update automatically as you log QSOs. You don't need to edit these -- they're always current.

info

Looking Up Other Operators​

You can view any operator's profile by searching for their callsign:

  1. Use the search function in the app.
  2. Enter a callsign.
  3. Tap the result to view their public profile.

This is a great way to learn about a station you just worked or to check out a friend's progress.
