Two new apps get our attention!

Let's start with the ARRL Repeater Directory App for Android.

This is a screenshot of the ARRL Repeater Directory app showing stations nearby the WA0TDA QTH.  The "nearby" tab is selected and the app automatically displays the stations that I've filtered by band preference. The free version of the app only displays 220 MHz repeaters, but this screenshot shows the paid version displaying 2 meter and 70 cm repeaters near my home, along with the direction from me and the distance, in case I want to point a directional antenna.
