Spotting

The Seminole Texas Amateur Radio Club (STARC) aims to provide a number of online resources to it’s members. Users should take all precautions when visiting a website, even if it is known to the user as being safe. A compromised server can lead to the remote installation of malware and/or the release of private information. Even the best of websites can be compromised, in the event this happens personal information may be exposed. For this purpose it is highly recommended that users assign a unique password to each website they visit and maintain anti-malware software on their computers.


One aspect of Amateur Radio is chasing a contact in a specific location, area, or region. To assist in that a number of online online spotting services are available.
