News archiveExpansion 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
2025-10-10 16:48:00 (EN)
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.
Tower distance
2025-09-26 18:35:00 (EN)
In the tower list you will now find a new column Distance (km), showing the direct distance between the tower and your QTH.
To display values correctly, please set your own coordinates (Lat/Lon) in the account settings (Service).
If you haven’t entered your coordinates, the column will remain empty.
Alternative callsigns
2025-09-20 11:29:00 (EN)
Some users of the Lookout Towers program use multiple callsigns – in addition to their primary (base call), they may also have a contest call they use occasionally. In such cases, they want their diploma points to always be credited to their main (base) callsign.
A new option is now available in the Service section: you can define up to three alternative callsigns. When you use them in an activation or log, the system will automatically credit the points to your base callsign.
No additional registrations or accounts are required for alternative callsigns.
