Awards
OpsLog has a flexible awards engine. Award definitions and reference lists are shared globally across profiles.
Built-in awards
DXCC, WAS / WAZ / WAC, WPX, IOTA / POTA / SOTA / WWFF, DDFM (French departments), and more — tracked worked / confirmed / validated by band and mode.
How matching works
An award scans a QSO field for a reference, by one of:
- code — the field value is the reference (e.g. state =
NY). - description — the reference's name appears in the field (substring, case- insensitive but space-sensitive — "Hongkong" won't match "Hong Kong").
- pattern — a per-reference regex is tested against the field.
Plus OR rules (also match if any of these hit), a leading/trailing strip, a prefix added to found references, and a dynamic mode (any value counts, like POTA).
Tip — Hong Kong / Macau style mismatches: if the data says "Hong Kong" but the reference description is "Hongkong", either fix the description to match, or set that OR-search's Match by to pattern so the reference's own regex (e.g.
\bHong Kong\b) is used. In description mode the per-reference pattern is ignored.
Live detection & manual refs
- References are detected live as you enter a callsign.
- You can manually assign a reference to a QSO (stored in an ADIF extra so it survives export/import — see Import and Export ADIF).
Reference lists & display
- Import reference lists for totals and names.
- Per award, choose what the Recent-QSOs column shows: reference, name, or both. Award columns are opt-in per the Columns picker (Recent QSOs and Filters).
Rescan
Rescan re-pulls the logbook and recomputes — it picks up fresh LoTW / QRZ / eQSL confirmations (see QSL Management).
