List and QSO editing
The list below the entry fields shows your log (when My LogBook is selected). This is where you correct, delete, copy and print contacts.
Columns
In a standard log the columns are: Date time, Callsign, RST sent, RST rcvd, Freq. Band, Mode, Flag, Country, Name, Email, comments, Grid, QRZ and Email QSL. In the POTA, SOTA, LLOTA and WWFF templates one of the columns shows the other station's park, summit, lake or reference.
| Column | Meaning of the symbols |
|---|---|
| QRZ | Two characters. The first: ✓ - QSO sent to QRZ, ✗ - not sent. The second: confirmation in QRZ - ✓ confirmed, ? confirmation requested, 👁 request viewed, ⛔ request rejected, ✗ not confirmed. |
| Email QSL | Two characters: QSL card by e-mail sent / received (✓ or ✗). Clicking the cell shows a preview of the card, if there is one. |
Under Linux (Wine) letters are used instead of the symbols: v, X, S, R.
Column layout
Right-click the list header:
- Edit columns - a list of columns to switch on and reorder (Ctrl + arrows / Home / End move an item),
- Hide column, Show all columns,
- Restore default column order, Reset column widths,
- Set default sorting.
You can also move columns by dragging the header and change the width by dragging its edge. Clicking a header sorts the list ascending, a second click descending, a third switches sorting off (the arrow in the header shows the direction). The program remembers the layout separately for the log and for each cluster.
List menu
Right-click a QSO (with several rows selected - on one of them):
| Item | What it does |
|---|---|
| Edit | The QSO edit window (same as a double-click). |
| Delete | Deletes the selected QSOs (also the Delete key). The program asks for confirmation. |
| Search | A search field below the list (Ctrl+F), the → arrow searches further. |
| Show previous QSO info in LogBook for the selected callsign | A window with the history of contacts with this station (visible when the previous QSOs window is enabled in the configuration). |
| Share a spot on Telnet cluster | Clusters and spots |
| Copy CallSign to Clipboard, Copy Frequency to Clipboard | To paste into another program. |
| Send QSL via e-mail | A QSL card for the selected QSOs - QSL cards. |
| Copy / Paste | Ctrl+C / Ctrl+V - copying QSOs, also to another LogBook (see below). |
| Copy current Cell value to Clipboard, Copy selected row(s) to Clipboard (csv), Copy all rows to Clipboard (plain or csv) | Text to paste e.g. into a spreadsheet. |
| Working Before | Narrows the list to the station in the callsign field (F6). |
| Show on QRZ.com | The station's page in the web browser. |
| Print LogBook | Prints the list (Ctrl+P) - what you see, e.g. after filtering. |
Moving QSOs to another LogBook
- Select QSOs in the list (Ctrl or Shift + click selects many) and press Ctrl+C.
- Change the LogBook in the configuration (LogBook page → LogBook name).
- Click the list and press Ctrl+V. QSOs that are already in this log are skipped.
- If the QSOs should disappear from the old log - go back to it and delete them.
Whole logs are merged with Merge LogBooks into one - LogBooks and backups.
Editing a QSO
Double-click a QSO to open the Edit Logbook Record window with all fields of the contact.
- On the left: callsign, date and time (the Now button), their program fields and comment, your callsign, your grid, frequency, band, mode and power.
- On the right: template, reports, Grid/QTH, name, e-mail, country, your program fields and your comment. The Query QRZ button and - for free accounts - Load from QRZ web page.
- At the bottom: upload and confirmation flags (QSO sent to QRZ, QSO confirmed in QRZ, LoTW, HrdLog, Club Log, Email QSL sent / received), Show QSLs and a player for the QSO recording (if there is one).
- The arrows in the lower left corner move to the previous / next QSO without closing the window. The printer icon prints the QSO details.
- Save to LogBook without closing, Save to LogBook and close, Cancel, Show on QRZ.com.
When you move to another QSO with unsaved changes, the program asks whether to save them (you can make it remember the answer). The Auto-save changes in QSO edit option (configuration → LogBook → Behavior) saves without asking. A date change always needs confirmation.
Advanced mode - changes in many QSOs
The Advanced button adds Copy to all buttons next to fields (your callsign, your grid, power, band, mode, your program fields and your comment) and a choice of range:
- Only selected rows in the list,
- Only visible rows in the list, e.g. filtered,
- All rows in the LogBook.
This mode also has Query all - getting QRZ data for the whole range (with the Replace exist. option, i.e. overwriting filled fields; best with a paid QRZ account) and Change sent - changing the upload flags (QRZ, LoTW, HrdLog, Club Log, QSL) for many QSOs at once.
Advanced mode changes many QSOs at once and there is no undo button. Before a bigger change make a backup (LogBooks and backups). The program keeps the last 11 versions of the log file anyway - after a mistake use Restore LogBook from backup.
Deleting QSOs
Select QSOs and press Delete (or Delete in the list menu). Every change that rewrites the log (deleting, editing, importing) leaves a copy of the previous version of the file, so deleted QSOs can be recovered with Restore LogBook from backup. All QSOs at once are deleted with Delete QSOs in LogBook in the configuration (LogBook tools page).
Printing
Print LogBook (Ctrl+P) opens the Printer configuration window: printer, paper, orientation, margins, number of copies, colors and table lines. What is visible in the list is printed - to print e.g. one day, set a filter first.
