I created a very simple CLI tool for logging amateur radio contacts. There are tons of programs doing this but there was too much clicking, thinking, selecting etc involved or were overloaded with distracting stuff.

I want to play with the radio, not with the tool that should help me with that.

My software simply does the following in the order I want it to do:

* asks me for a call sign

* shows info about the call sign gathered from a API

* shows previous contacts with this station

* asks for date, time, band, report, comment and prefills what it can

* submits this information via an API to an online logbook service
