The Amateur Radio Software Award[1] (ARSA) Committee has announced that
GridTracker, a project led by Stephen Loomis, N0TTL, and the GridTracker.org
team, has been selected as the recipient of the 4th annual Amateur Radio
Software Award.

The award recognizes software projects that enhance amateur radio and promote
innovation, freedom, and openness in amateur radio software development.

The committee received many nominations for the 2023 award, and after careful
consideration, GridTracker was chosen as the winner. The committee was
impressed by the breadth of features in GridTracker, its innovative graphic
interface, and its ability to make amateur radio more fun.

GridTracker is a tool that visualizes WSJT-X amateur radio traffic, like FT8
and contacts from log files, which makes it easier for radio amateurs to track
their contacts and participate in contests. Its unique approach to visualizing
radio traffic adds a new dimension of enjoyment to the radio art.

As part of the award, Loomis has requested that a $300 grant be donated to the
National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) of Oregon[3], a nonprofit
organization dedicated to improving the lives of individuals and families
affected by mental illness.

The ARSA Committee is already looking forward to next year's award and welcomes
input and nominations for future awards.
