Clicking the QSO drop-down menu provides two options, Live QSO and Post QSO.

  • Live QSO option has a real-time, per-second precision clock, and can also use information from the radio CAT interface to populate fields such as the frequency.
  • Post QSO should be used to log contacts that don't need those fields mentioned above to be populated automatically.

QSO Entry Area

After a callsign is entered, and the next field is selected, Wavelog will check qrz.com for details of the entered callsign and populate fields automatically with details if they are available.

Previous contacts list

Below the map, the few previous contacts from your logbook are displayed. By default, last 5 contacts are displayed, but this number is configurable in the account settings.

Entering the QSO data

Date and time entry

While post-logging a QSO there is a shortcut for entering date and time: You can enter the date as "202109902" and it is automatically re-formatted to be "2021-09-02". Same goes for time. You can enter the time as "1413" and it is re-formatted to "14:13".

RST - Readability Signal Tone

RST (S) is the code sent by you to your contact. RST (R) is the code received by you from your contact.

For more information, please refer to the R-S-T system Wikipedia page.

Satellite tab

The satellite tab enables satellite name and mode to be entered from drop down menus, this also populates the frequency, band and mode fields in the QSO tab.

General tab

The general tab allows to add additional information like IOTA or SOTA reference or Sig and Sig Info for WWFF or POTA contacts.

Edit a QSO

You'll want to edit a qso for a number of reasons like adding grid-square, or updating the QSLing information. This is possible by going to the "Logbook" section then clicking the icon on the right hand side of each QSO.
