The tools and the cards are meant to support the same operating workflow from different angles. The website handles live lookups, calculators, and deeper references, while the cards keep compact reminders within reach when you do not want to rely entirely on a browser. Each side reinforces the other rather than replacing it.
About Ham Deck
Ham Deck is a compact reference system for amateur radio operators — combining quick-reference playing cards with practical operating tools.
Ham Deck combines ham radio playing cards with online ham radio reference tools built for practical use in the shack and in the field. The goal is simple: keep common operating information close at hand, whether you need a browser-based lookup, a quick antenna calculator, or a printed reference deck you can throw in a bag.
What Ham Deck Is
Ham Deck is the working companion to the decks: a compact set of amateur radio tools, band plans, and reference pages for checking a band segment, confirming a callsign prefix, sizing an antenna, or resolving a grid square.
How the Workflow Fits Together
The site follows a practical operating sequence: check conditions, choose a band, confirm privileges or references, and plan the path. Pages such as Full Propagation View, Grid Square Lookup, US Band Plan, and Wavelength Calculator support those decisions without requiring a single long workflow.
The playing cards fit into that same system. The site handles live data, calculators, and deeper lookups. The cards keep the most useful reference material close at hand once the planning is done and you are operating from the shack, a portable setup, or an event table.
Mission
Build useful amateur radio tools and reference material that are clear, compact, and easy to trust under real operating conditions.
The website should feel like the same product as the decks: direct, practical, and worth keeping open.

About Ham Deck FAQ
Yes. The web tools are available as free operating aids, even though Ham Deck also develops physical products. That split is intentional: the site helps operators solve common problems quickly, while the cards provide a portable reference format for the same general style of information and decision-making.
Ham Deck is an independent project and should not be read as official representation of ARRL, the FCC, the ITU, or any other regulator or membership organization unless that is explicitly stated. The site aims to be practical and accurate, but operators should still verify official sources when legal authority or current regulations matter.
