Dashboard is a free Windows program for monitoring and displaying active Net Logger amateur radio nets. It uses the Net Logger XML API to pull data and automatically refreshes about every 30 seconds—though it won’t take you nearly that long to figure it out.

It’s great for full-screen monitoring as a net progresses. No logins or call signs are needed since the NETLOGGER XML API is read-only. Just start the program, pick the net you want from the menu, and you’re set.

You can hide fields you don’t need for a cleaner view, or reorder columns by dragging their headers, and the program will remember your setup next time. Double-clicking a log entry opens your default browser to the QRZ.com page for that callsign.

This is just the 1.0 release and we’re getting started, so if you have questions, comments, kudos, complaints, bug reports, or feature ideas, feel free to email or leave a comment.
