Recently, we released these new Amateur Radio related features to the community:

• Amateur Radio Callsign lookup and search support, prepopulated with all US Amateur Radio call signs and updated weekly

• Members can add a short biography about themselves to be displayed in their user profile
• Members can upload a profile picture that is displayed on your user profile page
• Members whose username is their Amateur Radio callsign automatically have their callsign information linked to their profile
