France: New Online Directory of Radio Amateurs

On 30th June 2021 a new version of the directory of radio amateurs developed by the National Frequency Agency (ANFR) was made available online

This directory makes it possible to find the French callsigns, the address of a radio club, the manager of a repeating station or the special callsigns issued by our services. The evolution put online responds to many requests from the amateur radio community.

This new version takes into account the prerogatives of respect for personal data imposed by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Thus, it is still possible for users to disappear almost instantaneously from the directory by registering on "orange list". A link to contest inaccurate data on its code is made available, thus facilitating dialogue between ANFR and users. Also with the aim of complying with the GDPR, a limit of results per search has been put in place.

For greater relevance of the results, the search tool made available to users allows you to cross several criteria. It is now possible to launch a search by filtering the results by department, indicative or name. In addition, it is possible to specify only the first 2 characters of a name to start a search.

To all these novelties is finally added the possibility to search for special active codes, to know the name of the event, the start and end date as well as the callsign of the manager.
