SimpleARDB - Simple Amateur Radio Database - By VK7AAL
Developed in Python. Works on Windows and Android Devices.

What is SimpleARDB?
As an amateur radio enthusiast, I've always sought a straightforward, effective way to log my contacts and findings. While many tools exist, none quite match the specific needs of someone who enjoys categorizing, sorting, and keeping track of their radio activities. This inspired me to develop SimpleARDB, a lightweight, Python-based database system tailored for logging amateur radio data. This has been designed to work on both Windows and Android devices.

SimpleARDB is a specialized tool that simplifies the process of logging contacts and frequency data. Built from the ground up, it helps radio enthusiasts like me easily track, update, and reference information. Unlike generic software, SimpleARDB was designed to address the unique requirements of radio logging in a low-cost, customizable, and flexible way.

Key Features of SimpleARDB

- Efficient Frequency Logging: SimpleARDB is optimized for logging frequencies. It allows you to add and sort frequency data, record signal strengths, locations, and any other details you find relevant. With a couple of useful buttons and no complex menus, it is as slimline as possible.

- Searching and Data Export: A major advantage of using a database like SimpleARDB is its powerful sorting and searching capabilities. The search feature makes it easy to retrieve specific contacts or frequencies, which is perfect for quickly revisiting past logs. All logs can be exported to a CSV file, for easy review and further data analysis as needed.

- QRZ Search: I have added a features where you can enter a callsign to search on QRZ, this helps with confirming details of contacts.

- Minimalist and Lightweight: True to my passion for low-cost, low-footprint hobbies, SimpleARDB is lightweight and doesn’t require heavy software resources. It runs on both Windows and Andriod systems without needing much in the way of storage or processing power—perfect for keeping your setup neat and efficient.

- Built for Personal Use: Unlike large commercial databases, SimpleARDB was designed with individual users in mind. This means it’s free from unnecessary complexity, focusing solely on the essential features for logging and retrieving your radio data.

- Test Mode: To ensure your database is not damaged, I have also included a "test mode", which has all the same features enabled but saves any entered data to a test file.
