Complete list of slash commands available in hambot. Use these commands in your Discord server to access amateur radio tools and information.
Look up detailed information about any amateur radio callsign. Searches both Callook (for US callsigns) and HamQTH databases. Returns operator name, address, license class, grid square, and other registration details. Automatically falls back between databases if one doesn't have the callsign.
/call <callsign>/call W1AWGet comprehensive DXCC (DX Century Club) information for any callsign prefix. Shows the DXCC entity, CQ zone, ITU zone, continent, and time zone offset. Useful for identifying where a station is located and understanding propagation paths.
/dx <prefix>/dx K1View current solar conditions including solar flux, sunspot numbers, A-index, K-index, and solar activity maps. Essential for understanding current HF propagation conditions and predicting band openings. Data sourced from hamqsl.com.
/cond/condDisplay Maximum Usable Frequency (MUF) propagation map showing the highest frequency that can be used for skywave propagation between two points. Critical for determining which HF bands are open for long-distance communication. Source: prop.kc2g.com
/muf/mufView Frequency of F2 Layer (foF2) map showing the critical frequency of the F2 ionospheric layer. Particularly useful for NVIS (Near Vertical Incidence Skywave) propagation on lower HF bands like 80m and 40m. Source: prop.kc2g.com
/fof2/fof2Display D Region Absorption Prediction (DRAP) map showing areas where solar radiation is causing increased absorption in the D layer of the ionosphere. High absorption can significantly reduce HF signal strength, especially on lower frequencies.
/drap/drapDisplay recent DX Cluster spots with filtering options. View real-time spots from connected DX Cluster servers. The filter parameter can be: a number (limits results to that count), a recognized band name like "20m" or "40m" (filters by frequency range), or any text (searches in callsign or spotter name). Shows frequency, mode, spotter, and timestamp for each spot. Default shows last 10 spots if no filter provided.
/dxspots [filter]/dxspots 10 or /dxspots 20m or /dxspots W1AWCreate an alert to receive DM notifications when a specific callsign or prefix is spotted on PSKReporter or DX Cluster. You can specify modes (FT8, FT4, CW, etc.) or leave empty to match all modes. Choose data source: "all" (both PSKReporter and DX Cluster), "pskreporter" (digital modes only), or "dxcluster" (all modes). Alerts automatically expire after 30 days (configurable). Alert DMs are automatically deleted after 1 hour to keep your inbox clean. Built-in deduplication and throttling prevent spam.
/addalert <callsign_or_prefix> [modes] [data_source]/addalert W1AW or /addalert W1AW FT8,FT4 or /addalert K1 pskreporterRemove one or more alerts by callsign/prefix or specific alert ID. If you call the command without arguments, it will list your active alerts. You can remove alerts by typing the callsign/prefix or the numeric alert ID shown in the alert list.
/removealert [callsign_or_alert_id]/removealert W1AW or /removealert 123Display all your currently active alerts in a formatted list. Shows callsign/prefix, monitored modes, data source, expiration date, and alert ID for easy reference. Useful for managing multiple alerts.
/listalerts/listalertsView comprehensive command usage statistics for your Discord server. Shows total commands executed, error rates, top commands by usage, and tracking duration. Only accessible to server administrators and the bot owner. Helps understand how hambot is being used in your community.
/metrics/metricsGet comprehensive study resources and proven strategies for passing your amateur radio license exam. Includes links to Ham Radio Crash Course videos, detailed instructions for using ham.study (free online study tool), and a step-by-step study method that has helped many hams pass their exams. Covers Technician, General, and Extra class preparation.
/study/studyInformation about taking your amateur radio license examination. Provides links to the HRCC VE (Volunteer Examiner) team testing information, including how to schedule exams, what to bring, and what to expect during the testing process.
/testing/testingComplete guide to using Ham.Live for participating in the HRCC HF Net and other live ham radio events. Includes setup instructions, account creation, how to provide signal reports during nets, and tips for getting the most out of the interactive net experience. Covers both Google login and email-based authentication.
/hamlive/hamliveDisplay the current Universal Coordinated Time (UTC), the standard time reference used in amateur radio. Shows both the date and time in UTC format, essential for scheduling contacts, net times, and understanding propagation predictions which are all based on UTC.
/utc/utcShow how long hambot has been running continuously. Displays uptime in a human-readable format (days, hours, minutes, seconds). Useful for checking bot status and reliability.
/uptime/uptimeDisplay a comprehensive help message listing all available hambot commands with brief descriptions. Quick reference for discovering what the bot can do and how to use various features.
/help/helpShow information about hambot including the bot version, owner, invite link to add hambot to your server, and link to the source code repository. Great for sharing hambot with others!
