New Feature: Show Route to the Lookout Tower
2025-11-02 11:05:00 (EN)
Since November 2025, it is possible to display a route from your home QTH to the selected lookout tower directly in the tower detail (card).
Just click the new button “🧭 Show Route”, available to logged-in users.
An interactive map will open, showing the route from your current position to the destination, including the distance, estimated travel time, tower name and its TOTA reference number (e.g. Destination: OKR-1234 Boží vyhlídka Lookout Tower).
Expansion of the OK Towers programme to Slovakia
2025-10-17 11:52:00 (EN)
From 1 December 2025, the amateur radio award programme “Czech Lookout Towers – OK Towers On The Air” expands to include the territory of the Slovak Republic.
The programme will now bear the new name “Czech and Slovak Lookout Towers – OK & OM Towers On The Air”.
This expansion is the result of cooperation with the Slovak Amateur Radio Association (SZR), which supported the idea of involving Slovak radio amateurs in the joint diploma system.
A total of 172 Slovak towers (prefix OMR) have been added to the database and will be fully active and valid for contacts from 1 December 2025, in the same way as Czech towers.
This step creates a unified project for both the Czech and Slovak Republics, connecting radio amateurs from both countries, expanding the number of attractive locations, and offering new opportunities for activations and award challenges.
New interactive tower map

A brand-new interactive map of observation towers is now available!
It shows all valid towers in the Czech Towers Award program, clearly marked by their activation status:
🔴 Not yet activated
🔵 Activated by others
🟢 Activated by you
Click any marker to see details (name, region, locator, number of activations).
The map works even without login, but logged-in users will see their own activations highlighted.
Find it under “Mapof Lookout Towers” in the Towers menu.
