Terms of use of the Bitácora 26 account

November 2026 version. By creating the account you accept these terms. If they change, you will be asked to accept them again.

This is an English translation for convenience. If there is any difference, the Spanish version prevails.

1. Who provides the service

Javier Alguacil Gomar, EA4IXR, free of charge and on a non-profit basis. Contact: info@bitacora26.es.

2. What the account is for

• Confirming contacts between Bitácora 26 users.
• Sending and receiving QSL cards and awards.
• Letting your details fill in automatically the contacts that other users log with you, and vice versa.
• Using the Bitácora 26 cluster.
• Using the same account on several computers: you sign up once (on the website or in the program), confirm your email with a code and then link each computer with your callsign, your password and another code sent by email. The user is not duplicated.

3. Account data

• Required: callsign (amateur radio and/or CB), full name, QTH, locator, email and password.
• If you don't know your locator, you can find it on the map by clicking where you live.

4. Who sees your data

• Other Bitácora 26 users with an account will see your callsign, full name, QTH and locator inside the program when they log a contact with you.
• On Citizens Band this is necessary, because the same callsign can be used by several people.
• Nobody sees your email.
• Everything else is in the privacy policy.

5. The cluster

• When you press ON AIR you appear in the Bitácora 26 cluster and other users see you: your callsign, your full name, your QTH and locator, the frequency, band and mode, your country (flag) and the comment you write.
• When you turn ON AIR off you no longer appear.
• Using the cluster to bother anyone or to publish other people's data is not allowed.

6. What you agree to

• Enter true data that belongs to you. One account per person.
• Keep your password safe and let us know if you think someone knows it.
• Use other users' data only for your logbook, confirming contacts and sending QSL cards or awards.

7. What is not allowed

• Copying or downloading other users' data in bulk, or trying to get around the lookup limits.
• Publishing, selling, sharing or showing other users' data to third parties, or using it for advertising or to bother anyone.
• Impersonating another person or using a callsign that is not yours.
• Trying to access other people's accounts or attacking the server.

If these terms are not respected, the account may be suspended or deleted. Anyone who uses other users' data in breach of these terms is responsible for it.

8. The service

• It is free and provided as is. It may change, stop for maintenance or close; if it closes, notice will be given in advance and the data will be deleted.
• Parts of the service may be in testing.

9. Closing your account

You can delete your account whenever you want from My account or from the program. Everything is deleted at that moment.

10. Law

These terms are governed by Spanish law.
