About

This program is written in Node Red and displays a real time dashboard for ham radio contesting events. Radio, score, contact and lookup UDP broadcast packets are sent from each contesting computer to the Node Red server. That information is parsed out and displayed in real time for other contesters to follow. This dashboard is useful in a SO1V, SO2V, SO2R, multi/1, multi/2, multi-multi radio setup. It allows non-operating operators to keep up with the contest without hovering over an operators shoulders. This dashboard also allows an operator to stream the dashboard via the internet to engage an on-line audience. The program is also useful during Field Day where other operators or guests can follow along in the contest progress.
