# 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.
