pyhamtools

Pyhamtools is a set of Functions and classes for Amateur Radio software. Currently the core part is the Callsign Lookup which decodes any amateur radio callsign string and provides the corresponding information (Country, DXCC entity, CQ Zone...etc). This basic functionality is needed for Logbooks, DX-Clusters or Log Checking.

Currently,

• Country-Files.org
• Clublog Prefixes & Exceptions XML File
• Clublog DXCC Query API
• Redis.io are supported sources. All services can be accessed through a unified interface.

This Library is used in production at DXHeat.com DX Cluster, performing several thousand lookups per day.
