Visualize Your QSOs with the MØTRT QSO Map Tool

qsomap M0TRT

Amateur radio operators often log hundreds or even thousands of contacts during activations, contests, and portable operations. But turning that log into something more visual and meaningful can be a challenge—especially after the original GMA/Adventure Radio QSO Map tool went offline. Fortunately, a new tool has emerged to fill that gap.

Introducing the MØTRT QSO Map Tool

The MØTRT QSO Map Tool is a modern, lightweight, and privacy-friendly web application that allows you to visualize your amateur radio QSOs on an interactive map—without sending your log data to any server.

Whether you’re logging contacts from POTA, SOTA, WWFF, or just operating from home, this tool makes it easy to showcase your reach around the world.


Key Features

  • Supports ADIF, Cabrillo, and SOTA CSV: Load multiple files and combine them with ease.
  • Customizable Maps and Icons: Choose from a variety of base maps and symbols, including SOTA and POTA styles.
  • Worked Grid Overlays: Highlights Maidenhead locators, WAB squares, CQ zones, ITU zones, and more.
  • Rich Filtering Tools: View contacts by date, band, or mode to drill down into your logs.
  • Interactive Popups: Click on a QSO point to view history and details.
  • Data Privacy by Design: All processing is done in your browser. No log data is uploaded or stored on any server.

Lookup Integration

Want to enrich your QSO points with additional data? The tool supports live lookups using:

When credentials are used for lookups, they’re sent securely via HTTPS. There’s even an optional “remember passwords” feature that saves credentials locally—ideal for frequent users on trusted devices.


Privacy First

The tool stands out for its strong privacy principles:

  • No user tracking or analytics
  • No cookies or ads
  • All QSO logs are processed locally in your browser
  • Open source and public domain licensed

It’s a refreshing experience for those wary of web apps that rely on cloud storage or data mining.


Built With Trusted Libraries

The app runs using widely-used open-source technologies such as:

  • Leaflet.js for maps
  • jQuery for dynamic interactions
  • Font Awesome (self-hosted) for icons

Thanks to contributions from developers like HA8TKS, additional overlays for grids and zones are included as well.
