Ham XXXL MegaPad Deskpad - (w/free callsign & name)

This is the deskpad that started as a reference sheet and grew into something a lot more visual and fun. It covers the US and Canadian band plans across MF through EHF, with mode segments, bandwidth recommendations, and calling frequencies marked directly on each band from 2200 meters up through the microwave allocations.

Beyond the band plan, there's a lot to look at and a lot to occasionally look things up on. Morse code and the full Q-code table sit alongside prosigns and international phonetics. World time zones, IARU regions, and ITU zones are all laid out visually, along with a D, E, and F layer breakdown, take-off angle guidance by band, an 11-year solar cycle chart running from 1900 to today, and current SFI, sunspot, and K-index panels for anyone who likes tracking conditions.

For contesters and DXers, the pad's got a full year of major contests by month, country prefixes cross-referenced to DXCC entities, ARRL and RAC sections, and a repeater etiquette rundown. There's an EME section with distance and signal delay figures, plus a look at major hamfests across the US, UK, Germany, Japan, and India. A few things are just there because they're fun, like the ISS voice frequencies and the Earth-Moon distance, and the pad's happy to include them without pretending it's mission critical. This is eye candy first and reference second, useful when you want it, but never meant to replace the online resources you'd actually rely on for anything that matters.

Because each pad is printed on demand at the time of your order, the data doesn't sit frozen from some past print run. It reflects the current band plan and contest calendar right up to when yours gets made, so this one never really goes out of date.

At 19.7 x 39.4 in (50 x 100 cm), this is a full desk surface, not just a mouse pad. It's available in 3mm or, for a noticeably plusher feel underhand, 5mm, and now prints on white as well as the original black. Shipping is free anywhere in the US and Canada, and both your callsign and your name print at no additional cost, same price either way. It's a common pick for clubs outfitting a shared shack or putting together a giveaway, and it looks right at home on a desk, in the shack, or anywhere else you want a soft surface that's actually worth looking at twice.
