Find any callsign's country & beam heading

Type a ham radio callsign or just a prefix and this tool instantly tells you the DXCC country, its continent and CQ/ITU zones, plus the great-circle beam heading and distance from your QTH. Set your Maidenhead grid once and it's remembered. No signup, works offline.

How do I know what country a callsign is from?

The callsign prefix maps to a DXCC entity. Paste the full call (or the leading prefix) above and the country appears instantly — e.g. LU → Argentina, JA → Japan, EA → Spain.

How do I find the beam heading to a station?

Set your own grid square, then the compass shows the short-path bearing (in degrees) and distance to point your directional antenna. Handy mid-QSO when you hear a new one.

What is a DXCC entity?

The DX Century Club (ARRL) list of "countries" for award purposes — sometimes islands or territories count as separate entities. CQ and ITU zones are the contest/region numbering systems.
