  1. @K3LOE I log to a self-hosted Wavelog instance, that then sends my QSL to LoTW, QRZ.com, ClubLog, and others, so I don't have to manually do it all:

  6. I am an old man but a new linux user. I followed these clear instructions from @db4scw to Install TQSL on Ubuntu Linux. It worked perfectly, thank you!

  8. First one is kinda small and simple **Trivial_Casts** 🔢➡️🔟

    > The trivial_casts lint in Rust is designed to catch what the Rust compiler considers to be "obviously unnecessary" type casts. These casts are often a result of typos or misunderstandings of how types work in Rust, and they can lead to unexpected behavior if not caught early on.

    When you cast one type to another, the compiler will automatically perform certain "trivial" casts that are considered safe and obvious. However, it might also flag cases where the cast is unnecessary because Rust can infer the correct type without any issues. These flagged cases are what the trivial_casts lint is designed to catch.

    Example:

    ```rust
    let square = Square([2; 8]);
    let square = &square as □

    ```

    #lotw

  12. Сегодня нужно было экпортировать сертификат LoTW из TrustedQSL в файл p12 для Wavelog и QRZ.com. И никак не могли импортировать дальше - не найдено. Хотя сертификат внутри файла есть. Помучавшись некоторое время, наконец, как индеец Зоркий глаз узрел что в тюрьме нет 4 стены, так и мы обратили внимание на настойчивое "ОБНОВИТЕСЬ". Апнули TQSL до 2.8.2, экпортировали сертификат и всё отлично прошло...

    Обновляйтесь и читайте чаще ошибки. Это сохранит время и нервы. 😀

  14. I have 17,407 QSOs on LOTW, 13,467 confirmed for a 77% rate. Log covers the last 15 years.

    How's everyone else doing?

  16. It has taken 40 years but I finally got my #WAS award. I’ve lost my old logs and had to restart keeping logs multiple times until finally via #LoTW, eQSL.cc, QRZ.com, and #jlog electronically.😆

  18. While the USA democracy is failing... I'm one state short for #qrzcom 50 State and @arrl #LOTW WAS awards! I need #QSLs from NH and WV respectively. I've reconsiled the logs so...any day now? #hamradio

  20. I finally updated my Awards page on my blog from #ARRL #LoTW and it looks like I'm three (3) states away from #WAS on #12m (digital)!

    (I had not updated this page in a *year*, lol)

  22. Got my new Logbook of the World certificate this morning, installed it, and I'm back online (with my Linux computer) with LOTW. That was a lot easier than I thought it was going to be. #hamradio #QLog #LOTW

  24. #LoTW, #clublog, and paper #QSL cards questions.

    1/ is it the case that cards sent to ARRL for checking are entered into LoTW by ARRL?

    2/ if 1/ is the case could I send a partial set of cards (ie fewer than required for an award) simply to get them in LoTW, and hence club log?

  26. Last chance to upload to Logbook of the World before they shut down for a systems upgrade. What was the ARRL thinking? Field Day is basically here. If this were my client, we would dual-upload, test, and schedule a date to cut over painlessly.

    You want young and middle-aged people to get involved? Great, I will, if I can recommend we not shut down for ham radio’s biggest “holiday” of the year. Even AI could recommend that.

  27. Did anyone who is not a member of the #ARRL receive an email about #LoTW, or is it just me?

  28. @dk3jf auch eine komfortable Option ist #wavelog. Da geschieht der Upload zu qrz.com, #eqsl, #lotw und #clublog automatisch im Hintergrund.

  30. Update: I've figure out how to copy my certificate to my new box. You've got to save your callsign certificate on the old box, then load the file you saved on the new box.

    This could really be better documented. You shouldn’t have to be an expert on X.509 public key certificates just to be able to upload your POTA logs from a new box!

  31. I’ve been setting up a new laptop today, and I'm once again blown away to realize that the security measures for my ARRL #LOTW certificate are far stricter than for any of my financial institutions, workplace VPNs, or secure messaging platforms. I respect it, but it's really feels like overkill for what's supposed to be a fun hobby. Case in point: having to wait up to four business days for staff to personally review my request just so I can upload my logs from a new computer.

  32. @colin I do use Wavelog as my logging software. Ther I just configured my #LotW certificates and then forget about it. My logs get uploaded automatically and confirmed QSOs get downloaded automatically as well. Same goes for other services like #eqsl, #ClubLog and #qrz.

  34. I was sitting in my car bored, and thought I’d start calling out on simplex. Made my first non-repeater contact on 70 centimeters. Yes, most VHF/UHF bands have FM and SSB calling frequencies. No luck on 2 meters, 33 cm, or DMR simplex, but hey, not bad for five minutes of boredom.

    Now I have to figure out Logbook of the World.

  35. @mcdanlj have a look at #wavelog. It not only integrates well with many different QSL platforms, but also uploads QSOs automatically in the background.

    No more manually fidling around with signing logs for #lotw.

    While it is possible to upload to QRZ, I can not say how well it works, as this is the one QSL platform I do not use. However, QRZ works well the lookup operator details.

  36. and they confirmed on #LoTW 😍

    Now I have #WAS on #80m #40m #30m #20m #17m #15m and #10m 👀

    I just need to finish off #12m WAS for the U.S., and if I get the right antenna setup soon, I'll try for #6m too

  38. Dear #hamradio fans. I am active in Hamradio since December 2022 - I made 1197 QSOs in total so far.

    - I've sent 457 QSL cards (via bureau)
    - I've received a total of 29 cards so far

    Yes, I love them - yes, I will keep sending them - but if most of the hams are not even clubs like ARRL, DARC etc how can we expect to keep our frequencies? Ok, I got it - we are doing LOTW these days.

    - 711 have been confirmed in LOTW
    - 451 have been confirmed in eQSL

    No matter which one you prefer, please keep the following things in mind:
    - Without clubs and leagues it will be hard to defend our frequencies against commercial interests
    - If LOTW get's out of business (for what ever reason, you'll lose all your QSLs - for nothing)
    - Don't tell ham radio starters that they should buy QSL cards after they got licensed - use a print on demand for the first year - if you like it - go cards.

    Be nice to each other.

  40. @K4HCK @croyle same, I don't really even log in to #QRZ much anymore, I still use it for logging/confirming contacts, but I interface with it and #LOTW via #cloudlog these days

    but to your point, the site of #eQSL is really dated lol
