Interesting way to see how you are getting out with instant feedback.

Apparently only on CW though - they use scanning software with SDR receivers that looks for the character string CQ, then add the detected hits to an on-line log that includes the associated call sign, frequency, SNR in dB, speed in WPM, and receiving station.  

Calling  a CQ will result in an immediate posting from all on line sites that detect your signal.

You can filter the displayed data set to specific receiving stations, bands, etc, and specific received call signs.

Have not tried it for this yet, but appears to be a great way to do A/B tests of antennas and different rigs, and for mobiles, different locations.

If you call in sick to play radio better be sure your boss doesn't find out about this site (or at least don't call CQ).....
