## What is Ham Gaming?

Ham Gaming is a friendly collection of bite-sized amateur-radio mini-games — gentle enough for kids and newcomers, with speed drills and depth that scale up for licensed operators.

PLAY & LEARN
• Phonetic alphabet, Q-codes, Morse code, callsign prefixes, bands, and modes.
• Speed drills and Morse pacing that grow with you.
• Voice games — speak phonetics and full QSO exchanges; your answers are checked by your device's system speech recognizer.

FULL RIG SIMULATOR
• Tune a virtual transceiver across 14 bands with a weighted, inertia-coasting VFO knob.
• Live spectrum waterfall, S-meter, working RF / AF / RIT controls, and filters.
• Press-and-hold PTT to actually talk — stations answer based on what you say.
• Play free-form, or pick a mode: Missions, Fox Hunt, QRM Drill, or a Contest run.

SATELLITES, ANTENNAS & PHYSICS
• Follow a simulated satellite pass by turning and tilting your phone (compass + motion).
• Antenna and propagation labs — design a Yagi, sweep a NanoVNA, ride Doppler.

MADE FOR EVERYONE
• 10 languages with full right-to-left Arabic support.
• No account. No ads. No tracking.
• Light/dark themes.

ADIF Logger quiz — corrections
 
Several questions taught things that were not quite right, and a quiz you trust should not do that. Fixed: FT8 is a mode in its own right while FT4 and JS8 are submodes of MFSK; LoTW does not accept a plain ADIF file, it needs a TQSL-signed one; a signal report never affects award matching; band and mode names are not case-sensitive; and the sent and received QSL fields do not share the same set of values. One question could also be unwinnable, because a second correct answer was sitting among the wrong ones.

Accuracy & polish.
 
• Station locations now match the callsign. In Pile-Up Master and Activator Adventures, the place shown next to each call is worked out from the callsign's real prefix — a US call shows a US state, a Chilean call (CE) shows Chile, an Australian call (VK) shows Australia, and so on. No more impossible city pairings.
 
• Rig Simulator: a station you tune in now calls CQ on the band you're actually on. Before, you could be sitting on 20 meters and hear "CQ ten meters" — the spoken band now always follows your VFO.
 
• Rig Simulator: more variety on the air — extra CQ calls, net check-ins, and band-condition chatter that work across every band.
 
• How to play, on every game. Tap the new (i) in any game's top bar for a short how-to-play and the goal of that game — now in all 10 app languages. Follow That Satellite also shows a quick start-up tip the first time (lay the phone flat, then tilt up toward the horizon to track the pass), with a Don't-show-again option.
 
• New Silent Mode in Settings — mutes the spoken encouragement (the cheers after each answer). The sounds you need to play a game (Morse, station voices, listen-and-identify) keep working.
