Skip DX

Find out how far your CW signal is really going, automatically, every activation.

Clears every device above. You'll need to tap “Enable notifications” again on whichever one(s) you keep using.

New here? SkipDX watches the Reverse Beacon Network while you're activating a park (or summit) and tells you, automatically, how far your CW signal is actually reaching -- no checking RBN yourself, no waiting on a chaser to tell you.

Every time you're heard farther than before, you'll get a push notification like this:

The Leaderboard below shows this month's and all-time farthest hits across everyone using SkipDX -- a new personal best could land you on it.

To get started: add your call sign, toggle it on, and self-spot like normal when you activate -- SkipDX handles the rest automatically.

One extra step on iPhone: notifications only work once this page is added to your home screen.

Tap ••• below, then Share, then "View More," then "Add to Home Screen." Open the app from there afterward, instead of Safari.

Tip for Android: notifications work right here in your browser -- no extra step needed. For the most reliable experience, though, you can install SkipDX like an app: tap Chrome's ⋮ menu, then "Install app" (or "Add to Home Screen").

If a notification is ever missed, check that your phone's battery settings aren't restricting SkipDX in the background (Settings → Apps → SkipDX → Battery) -- some phone brands do this by default.
