# Ham Helper Program

This is an all-around ham operator assistance program originally written for the TRS-80 by Jack Martin (W6XW) and published in the Dec. 1982 issue of 73 Magazine. It can be an extremely versatile program for the ham shack with areas of operation being repeater directory, contest duping, third-party treaty directory, Q-signal directory and frequency allocation. This adaptation uses nearly all of the 16K RAM and should work on both the ZX81 and T/S 1000 (I am not sure about the 8K ROM ZX80).
