What is Babylon ?
Babylon-Pro is a powerful Translation,
Information and Conversion tool, that instantly provides relevant information
about any word or value you click on.
Why this directory was made for Babylon ?.
Using the Babylon program as a tool for accessing the directory is
definitively the most comfortable and easy way to get information on a certain
callsign or locator. You simply have to click on any callsign or locator
you can see on the screen (independently of the program being used) and you will
get the information about it instantly in a pop-up window. (See an
example)
How much does the directory cost ?
The directory ("Glossary" in terms of Babylon) is free
(and it will continue being free in the future)
Please notice that the Babylon-Pro program itself is NOT freeware, but if
you try it (free trial available) I am sure
you will find it so useful that you will not doubt buying it.
Look in the News & Media > Radiocategory of the
glossaries
Or search for the word "locator"
What information does the directory contain ?
It's just a directory of callsigns and grid-squares, so that you can click on
a callsign so see it's grid or click on a grid to look for the stations QRV from
there. It contains the locator of over 77,000 callsigns !
If you are looking for a complete VHF database of stations QRV together with
their working conditions, bands and modes of operation, etc. then what you need
is the VHF-Group DL West database
From where are the callsigns and locators in the
directory taken from ?
They have been extracted from different sources, basically the on-line
locator database, my own logbook,
update files sent to me from other HAMs and automatic collecting from the
DX-cluster.
If you find your own information inaccurate or even want me to remove you
entry from the directory please send me an
E-Mail
Can I contribute to improve and upgrade the directory
?
YES PLEASE !!
If you have your own directory and want it to be included then please send
it to me.
Also, if you have thousands of QSOs in your VHF logbook and want
me help keeping the directory updated then please send
me your logbook file (ADIF format is much appreciated)
