# Onqa
There’s definitely something magical about discovering the local radio ether, that is different in every place, what makes each place unique. However, FM radio is often unavailable in new phones.
As an IT enthusiast, radio enthusiast and a DXer, I’ve always loved exploring the airwaves wherever I go. I feel like life would be much sadder without radio. Yet terrestrial broadcasting is the most magical way of enjoying it, sometimes you just want something more portable - straight on your phone, with an amazing UI, polished [maps ecosystem](https://onqa.barteq.cz/) and many features.
That’s where **Onqa** comes from. It's not meant to be a replacement for terriestrial broadcasting. It's meant to do a similar thing - allow the users to discover their local radio ether.
The name is inspired by the Spanish words *onda* (“wave”) and *cerca* (“nearby”), reflecting the idea of discovering the radio stations around you.
