A useful feature for skeds imho is to add at table "who is online" the exact frequency, mode and state (for USA eWAS) if on air.

When a user login on site, it's simple to fill these few informations, and when anyone search a sked, this table would perfect to find a contact.

Excuse me for bad english

OK, that's been implemented. Thanks for the suggestion!

Of course, that's just my opinion... I could be wrong!

And on the subject of Skeds.

I have no interest in skeds or making them. Instead of having periodically to click the Sked button and manually delete all the requests, I would prefer to set something in my profile that I do not wish to receive sked requests. Just like I have set up that I don't want email confirmations when somebody has sent me an eQSL.

Most of the skeds I get asked for are on modes and bands I don't operate on anyway...

I check sked requests on a regular basis. When I find someone online, I invite them to the sked room. So far I have not had anyone come to the sked room. Can we add text to the chat room request that allows the person to know that this is in reply to their sked request?
Several of the requests come from countries and locations that are rare and knowing that I am trying to fill their request instead of being "just another USA" call, might be useful information.

Hi,
It would be nice to have a callsign lookup within the different rooms i.e. the sked room etc.
It would be handy to be able to look up a callsign of a ham without leaving the room.

Thanks
Lewis

You can click on the hyperlinked callsign in the list of people in the room and see their info. Or you can click on the "Open New Window" button and put the chat room in a separate window, and then use the underlying browser page to go do other things like looking up callsigns.

Of course, that's just my opinion... I could be wrong!
