Re: POTA and small rigs


 

+ AA6YQ comments below
I would like to be able to import my logs from my POTA ops to my main log without causing LOTW errors due to mangled MyQTH's, LOTW station locations, Rig names etc.??
?
Is there a document of best practices for POTA logging?? I know it's been discussed before but I wasn't paying as much attention as I should have been!
+ Before importing a log of QSOs from your just-completed POTA activation,

1. define a new myQTH in your Main log; populate the Sig textbox with the activated park code, and appropriately fill in the Rig, Ant, and location-oriented textboxes like "Pri Name", "Sec Name", and Grid. This information can be included in QSL Notes and/or outgoing QSL cards using QSL Substitution commands, as described in

https://www.dxlabsuite.com/dxkeeper/Help/QSL.htm#QSL%20Substitution%20Commands

2. when importing a log of QSOs from your just-completed POTA activation using the Main window's "Import QSOs" tab, check the "Substitution options" panel's "Substitute for missing myQTH IDs" box and select the ID of the myQTH you created in step 1

+ Depending upon what information is included in the ADIF file exported by your POTA application, you may want to specify additional information in the panels on the "Import QSOs" tab
?
+ Ops here with actual experience activating POTA, SOTA, and/or WWFF sites may have more suggestions.
