Hammer

Currently, Hammer is a pre-alpha Windows app for getting FCC data about amateur callsigns using the https://callook.info/ JSON API. Other utilities may come later, as needed.

The ultimate goal is platform-agnostic amateur radio utility library and UIs that leverage it, either platform-specific or using a technology like .NET MAUI (Multi-platform App User Interface).

Components

Hammer is separated into components, each a .NET project within the larger .NET solution:

1. Hammer.Core: A shared multi-platform .NET library.
2. Hammer: A C#/XAML Universal Windows Platform (UWP) app containing the Windows UI and Windows-specific functionality.
3. Hammer.CLI: A .NET Console app that allows the library to be leveraged from the command line.
4. HammerTest: Unit tests for the Hammer library and applications.

Development environment

Visual Studio 2019, Visual Studio for Mac, or Visual Studio Code is recommended.

For working with the main body of code, the Hammer.Core library, you will need:

• .NET Core 3.1 or later

If you’re working with the Hammer Windows/UWP app, you’ll need:

• Windows 10, version 1903 (build 18362) or later (current version recommended)
• Windows 10 SDK, version 1903 (10.0.18362.1)
