CB Radio Logbook – The Complete Companion App for CB Radio Operators

CB Radio Logbook is a free online logbook and station management app designed specifically for CB radio operators. Whether you're a casual mobile operator, a base station enthusiast, or a dedicated DX chaser, the platform gives you a simple way to record contacts, track equipment performance and connect with the wider CB radio community.

Built by CB operators for CB operators, the app works on mobile phones, tablets and desktop computers, allowing you to keep your entire station logbook accessible wherever you are.

From recording local contacts around Derbyshire to logging long-distance DX contacts across Europe, CB Radio Logbook helps you keep an accurate record of your activity on the air.

Log Every CB Radio Contact

The heart of CB Radio Logbook is its powerful contact logging system.

Each QSO can be recorded with detailed information including:

  • Callsign or handle
  • Channel
  • Frequency
  • Band
  • Date and time
  • Signal reports
  • Location
  • Distance worked
  • Notes and comments

Unlike traditional paper logbooks, every contact is searchable and stored securely online, making it easy to find previous conversations and build a complete history of your time on the air.

Whether you're logging a quick local contact or a memorable DX station, every QSO can be recorded in seconds.

Visualise Your Contacts on an Interactive Map

Seeing where your contacts originate can be just as rewarding as making them.

The Contact Map feature automatically plots your logged stations onto an interactive map, helping you visualise:

  • Local contacts
  • Mobile operators
  • DX stations
  • Contact patterns over time
  • Coverage and operating range

As your logbook grows, so does your map, creating a visual record of your achievements and operating history.

Save Favourite Operators

Some contacts become regular voices on the airwaves.

CB Radio Logbook allows you to mark favourite operators, making it easy to quickly find stations you speak with regularly.

Create a personal list of trusted contacts, local operators and memorable DX stations that you want to keep track of over time.

Track Antennas, Radios and Equipment

Many CB operators enjoy experimenting with different antennas and radio setups.

The Antenna & Rig Tracking feature allows you to record:

  • Radio equipment
  • Antenna models
  • Mobile installations
  • Base station setups
  • Portable operating equipment

Contacts can then be linked to specific equipment, helping you compare real-world performance and identify which setups produce the best results.

This makes the app particularly useful for operators testing different antennas or trying to improve station performance.

Discover Other CB Operators

The optional Operator Directory and Community Map helps bring CB enthusiasts together.

Operators who choose to share their details can appear on the map, allowing others to discover:

  • Nearby operators
  • Mobile stations
  • Base stations
  • Equipment setups
  • General operating locations

It's a simple way to connect with other members of the CB radio community and discover who is active in your area.

Monitor Your Operating Statistics

CB Radio Logbook automatically generates statistics based on your activity.

Track information such as:

  • Total contacts logged
  • Locations worked
  • Distance achievements
  • Most active channels
  • Favourite contacts
  • Equipment usage

These statistics provide valuable insights into your operating habits and help you measure progress over time.

Create Your Personal Operator Profile

Every operator can build a custom profile that showcases their station.

Profile information can include:

  • Callsign or handle
  • Profile photograph
  • Biography
  • Equipment details
  • Antenna setup
  • Location information

Privacy controls allow you to choose exactly what information is visible to other users.

Export Your Logbook Data

Your data belongs to you.

At any time, you can export your contact logbook as a CSV file for backup, analysis or record-keeping purposes.

This ensures your operating history remains accessible and portable whenever you need it.

Built for the Modern CB Radio Community

CB Radio Logbook combines the traditional enjoyment of keeping a station log with modern mapping, statistics and community features.

Whether you're making local contacts around your home town, operating mobile from the road, or chasing long-distance stations across Europe, the platform provides a central place to manage your CB radio activity.

The app is completely free to use and can be installed directly on most smartphones and tablets using the "Add to Home Screen" feature, giving you a dedicated CB radio logging experience without needing to download from an app store.
