  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:

    wavelog.org/

    #HamRadio #AmateurRadio #hamr #Wavelog #QRZ #QSL #LoTW #ClubLog #HamLogging #Logging

  2. I wish I could export my logs directly from Wavelog to World Radio League *without* having to do a manual export/import of ADIF files

    It looks like, WRL does have QRZ integration for pulling logs from QRZ, which is neat, but I'd prefer all my logs to come from my Wavelog instance as my source of truth, hmm

  3. In the process of writing a #perl script to pull my most recent QSOs from #QRZ's #LogbookAPI and import them into a #hugo site, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to get recent ones without fetching the entire logbook.
    The MAX option seemed to be the answer, but it's counting from the start; i.e. MAX=5 returns the *first *five QSOs in the logbook instead of the last 5.

    Anyone have a solution?

  5. For this week's #hamchallenge : My primary logging software is #Wavelog. The webserver and backend database both run on virtualized machines in a #HighAvailability #Proxmox #cluster (same one that hosts this instance!). Those are backed up daily to another machine on site via PBS, then those backups are synced to a remote server running in a house in another city.

    In addition, my log is also synced to both #QRZ and #LOTW every 6 hours or so, but I didn't think it qualifies as a true backup, since there is some data which those logs don't record.

  6. @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.

  7. Interesting article on QRZ: "where have all the women gone?"

    my two cents: we *do* need more diversity in the hobby, whether it's women, trans+ or gender expansive folks, or more BIPOC folks

    I don't have a good solution on how to achieve this, but the article does mention how to get widows involved, tho I think it leaves a lot to be desired on getting more folks involved

    What do you think of the article and/or topic?

  8. @BenDoubleU I'm a big proponent of #encryption, but needing to maintain cryptographic keys just to submit a #hamradio log is a bit absurd, especially when you consider the lack of security around the rest of #LOTW.
    I've been through the pain of requesting new keys after #tqsl decided that my exported keys weren't valid on my new machine for some reason.
    Now I keep my keys on my #Wavelog server and everything gets logged to there, then automatically synced to LOTW and #QRZ. Wavelog also does a great job tracking award progress, too, although QRZ has become my authoritative "source of truth" for awards.

  9. @hamchallenge #hc05s

    Updated my #QRZ page.

    Biggest difference from the previous edit: emphasizing bicycle portable operations, de-emphasizing DMR, first mention of plans for HF.

  10. Are you a new ham (in the U.S.) who just got their license in the past 6 months?

    You may be eligible for a free* handheld transceiver from QRZ:

    free*: you may have to pay for shipping and/or tax, see QRZ's website for terms and conditions

  11. Ponied up and paid for a QRZ XML subscription, tried to sync my Cloudlog up/down with QRZ to get everything "on the same page", QRZ is reflecting about 40 fewer QSOs than Cloudlog. Can't find the error. Already removed dupes etc.

  12. @MW1CFN yeah, I prefer physical cards but I think some people automate sending these?

    I put them on my blog, k8vsy.radio/digital_cards.html

    That way I can still catalog them, but I ask people to still upload the contacts to #LoTW or #QRZ

  13. So I have a bunch of students with tech #hamradio licenses and #QRZ-1 HTs. They’re spread out across the country. What are some activities that you would recommend that they engage in?

  14. @chrisfarnham hi!

    Some of my favorite features of Cloudlog:

    * ability to do Live logging in CloudLog (I use this when at my main station)
    * so many fields to track info on a QSO/QSL, like if I received a physical QSL card, etc
    * ability to see custom maps/tables for different parameters (like WAS or countries) based on confirmations
    * analytics/stats on QSOs per year, mode, band, contests, etc

    these are just a few of my top fav features of #CloudLog 😃

  15. So, I did it lol

    I made a graph of my logging platforms/programs and the path my QSOs & QSLs take lol

    it isn't the best quality but, hopefully it conveys what is happening lol

  16. @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

  17. After fighting with the sound settings etc. off and on for a couple of days, I made my first #HF contact ever today on #FT8 #digital.

    Previous attempts were receive only affairs unwittingly. It wasn't until I noticed the output power was 0W on TX that I realized something was up.

    Rig: #XeiguG90 at 5W with a ZLP MiniPro SC TNC attached to a #SlinkTenna in my attic.

    Now I've got to figure out how to setup auto logging with #QRZ and Log Book of the World.

  18. Things that make you go... hmmm.. #yeg #HamRadio #VE6HM #NARC

    Caught this news on the weekly #net Guess I have to update #QRZ now. #VA6LAT Don't be a #SadHAM

  19. Wow, I've got almost 40k visitors to my QRZ page already. Who could imagine that? :) #hamradio #qrz

  20. Is anyone else having trouble with their #QRZ logbook?

    Ever since the most recent #Firefox update (I use #Librewolf on #Xubuntu), it's been broken and I can't do anything with it. It's incorrectly formatted and I get some nonsense message about XML access. I'm a paid account.

  21. What's the protocol for logging Nets on LOTW or QRZ. I started operating few months ago and I see that no station is adding logs for regular Nets or ragchews. Only when there is a new station on a random QSO, logs are created in my region.

  22. I wrote a Python Telegram bot that lets you query/lookup a call sign via QRZ.com

    the code isn't in the best shape, and I'm working on cleaning it up, but I thought I'd share it, in case anyone might find it useful or wants to run their own instance

  23. Redoing my #introductions post since there's a lot of you again:

    I'm a #general class ham in the Washington DC area. I mostly work #HF. I the worst mic shyness on the planet so I tend to stick to #digimodes; sometimes I go outside at obscene hours to wave my #yagi around & talk through a #satellite. I try to do the weekly #hellschreiber & #winlink (#FFWN) nets, & you should too! If you're a #QRZ member from #Vermont let's set up a #sked because you're the last state I need for that #WAS award.
