Minor, Linked logged in callsign to pre-filtered view for that callsign.

2026-03-14 01:58:11
Updated method for emailing users. Those of you that have multiple spots may have been getting multiple emails if there was a match. I have consolidated that so you would only get one email if there is more than one match found before your next email. 

2026-03-11 18:31:53
Improved Google login removing an additional approval link, added additional option for clubs to allow more than one admin, and to keep site from showing up on Spotted Ham Directory. Modifid home page view to only showing spots for 1 hour instead of original 2. I may reduce more. Made some improvements for club updates to better support large club lists updates, reducing completion time.

I have also started the process to update the db. Between now and end of day this Friday, there will be a brief downtime for the site when the update occurs. Should be no noticebale differences in improvement to the users, but it will help with overall performance.

2026-02-22 19:52:27
Added pause start timer for data, reduced spots reported to 1 hour, increased notification updates from 1 hour to half hour, and for clubs added api support (need to email support@spottedha.com) and refresh content button to club widget.

Added an ignore alert feature for ft8 making minor frequency changes fro pota spots.

2026-01-18 04:11:00

I added a new feature alliwing pota data in. It is pre filtered though by your alerts. If know one is getting alerts for park US-3473 it will not skow ip in spots for example.

I also added a priority to show spots made on spotted ham show up before network data. Basically top rows.

2026-01-15 05:59:45
Worked on increasing login time to 7 days instead of normal session times of 24 minutes. Fixed a bug in spot alerts and modified how fast you can get an alert. It was set to check every 5 minutes, now checks with every new spot, and includes a 15 min backup check for new spot subscriptions.

2026-01-11 04:55:02
Google users can now login and add there callsign. Makes it easier for filling out the spotting info. I also setup the form to support auto selecting the band base on the frequency you use.
I have other ideas we can use later on for user accounts so it can't hurt to start using it
