Logging Basics

The entry strip

The entry strip logs a QSO from any <input> inside it — press Enter to save. Fields: callsign, RST tx/rx, name, QTH, grid, band, mode, TX/RX frequency (split), start/end time, comment and note.

Callsign drives everything: the flag, offline DXCC resolution (country, CQ/ITU zones, continent) from cty.dat including /MM /AM /B and call-area handling (/8, /W6), plus ClubLog DXpedition date overrides.
Callsign lookup (QRZ.com / HamQTH) fills name / QTH / grid and shows the photo and a QRZ.com tab. Configure it in Settings → Lookup. Portable calls (/M, /P) are looked up on the home call too.
No lookup account? The name / QTH / locator are recovered from the last time you worked the station, and for US calls the offline FCC (ULS) database fills state, county and a 6-character grid as you type. A real QRZ/HamQTH hit still wins.
A green NEW badge appears on the County field (Info / F2) when the US county has never been worked.
ESC clears the callsign (and stops CW).
The frequency readout is scroll-tunable: roll the wheel over the hundreds / tens / units-of-kHz digit and the rig follows.

Super Check Partial / N+1

Enable in Settings → General (downloads the community MASTER.SCP list). As you type a call, a docked two-column widget shows known calls that contain what you typed (Partial) and calls one character away (N+1) — click one to fix a busted call.

Editing a QSO

Double-click any row in Recent QSOs (or Worked-before) to open the full editor — every ADIF field across tabs: QSO info, contacted station's details, award refs, QSL info, contest, sat/prop, my station, and a generic extra fields editor for any ADIF field not promoted to a column.

Bulk operations

Select rows in Recent QSOs (a Select all button takes every displayed row), right-click:

Fix country & zones from cty.dat, or update from the callsign databases (QRZ / ClubLog), with a progress bar.
Bulk edit field — set one field across many QSOs: QSL/confirmation statuses and dates, my station, contest, propagation, contacted-station refs, comment, gridsquare, even the frequency (band recomputed, out-of-band values refused).
Send to a QSL service, export selected / filtered to ADIF or Cabrillo, delete (optionally withdrawing the QSO from QRZ.com and Club Log — Settings → External services, off by default).

Find duplicates

Tools → Find duplicates groups QSOs by same call + band + mode (optionally same day or same minute) and lets you pick which to delete.

Notes

Worked-before matrix shows prior contacts with the entity per band/mode slot as you type.
Award references are detected live as you enter a call — including from the QTH, name, comment or grid you typed (see Awards).
The callsign in the top bar is the station switcher: click it to change profile.
