Would it be possible??? (Question maybe request)
Something I have in plans in the near future is to add an remote antenna switch to my setup, you know, single coax line to a selection of multiple antennas.? But I'm planning on building one with a ESP32 or ESP8266 development board.? That way I can control it over network (either wifi or ethernet).? Once setup I could trigger switching the antenna (relay) with an HTTP request. something like:?
curl -s 192.168.1.5/api/v1/select/2
?that will select antenna port #2 for example.? Doesn't need to be this way, but something similar. ?
This web page has the code for the concept:
?
Could that be added to the Antennas tab on the Equipment?? To add the option to setup a query URL for each antenna, and the "n" amount of buttons for each one, maybe on the rig section or on a new window just for the antenna, so we can push the button and select the antenna (which would also update the "Antenna" field on "My Station" tab?
?
I really don't know if there is any Log that does this.? Maybe there is, but don't think there are many in such case.
If it is possible, I can submit an official request on GitHub.

Re: Qlog and WSJT-X coping dats to log
So this was the answer to my problem. After unchecking that box in WSJT-X all was good. ?

Re: Qlog and WSJT-X coping dats to log
I typically use wsjtx improved and I unchecked the ¡°clear dx after logged¡± option and it works fine.? What I found happens is the dx clears before the entry is logged so it wipes out the info.

Hello all,
?
I'm a new user and quite impressed with QLog so far.
?
I have some strange problem though:
?
QLog does not terminate if I use "Quit" or CTRL-Q in the main window. It only closes the window. Other open windows (like rotor control) which are detached from the main window do not close. I have to kill the program (CTRL_C if started from command line).
?
I observed this on Ubuntu 22.04 with the precompiled image and on Ubuntu 24.04 with the precompiled image and also with a local build from current github master.
?
My search did not find anything. Maybe a user error?
?

I'm just starting to play with POTA some. ?I've only done two successful activations so can give a good plan, I don't have one yet either. ?But a couple things to note:
- You can select multiple POTA Parks in both of those fields. ?I think separate by commas but double check me on that?
- Play with the user filters. ?I create on to filter for say just today, just for the POTA park?
?
You are right I don't think there is an API so you would need to export to an ADI and upload. ?I am not sure if you are at two parks if you just upload the same file twice once for each park or what. ?I've not experienced that one. ?We don't have a bunch of parks down near me.

For anyone who uses QLog for POTA activations - could you explain how you use qlog's fields / your workflow before, during and after the activation. What could be improved? Probably one thing that is missing is generating the ADIF files suitable for uploading to the pota.app site - specifically for the multi park / multi park to park use cases.
?
I looked on the pota website and there doesn't appear to be an api for submitting logs - it must be done through their website... am I wrong?
?
Thanks

Re: Way to copy POTA information from Comments to pota_ref columns in db?
Hi, This is a change that needs to be made directly in the database. Personally, I do not recommend making modifications directly in the database because there are many dependencies that QLog checks during operation. However, in this case, it is possible to do so with some knowledge. Unfortunately, you need to have some SQL knowledge. First, it¡¯s necessary to identify a pattern that will convert your comment to POTA transformation. Based on what you wrote, you could, for example, do the following steps: - Open the QLog database, for instance, in
- Check if you have the appropriate SQL for retrieving POTA information. For example:
- select rtrim(ltrim(substr(comment, 6))) from contacts where comment like 'POTA:%';
- ?And if you are sure, proceed with the final step... update.
- update contacts set POTA_ref = rtrim(ltrim(substr(comment, 6))) where comment like 'POTA:%';
- ?Check the result and perform Write to the database.
A backup is highly recommended in this case.

Hello,
?
I have around 160+- contacts for POTA with the pota information on Comments.? Is there a way managing directly the db file, to grab that information and copy it to the pota_ref db column?
?
most of these contacts are in the form like: "POTA: K-1234 US-ST" or close.? I could play with some left behind and manually update them, but would like to get at least the most of them easily.

I copy the db file and tried to accomplish this, but could not figure out the sql syntax needed.

Re: Device ID and Path for Rig/ Rotor Control
#Guide
#Tip
Hi, Yes, of course, it is possible to use udev rules here. But honestly, for a beginner, the udev subsystem is something they should probably avoid touching. In my opinion, it's better to use dev-id. For advanced users, defining a custom rule can be quite useful, as it makes the paths shorter. po 28. 10. 2024 v?8:21 odes¨ªlatel Joel Vazquez, WE0DX via <ae4sr.radioop= [email protected]> napsal:
Just wanted to chime in with my setup... In my setup I have a computer as "server" with Debian just to connect the rig and rotator with hamlib.? That way if I want to I can do contacts over the network from my living room (or patio) from my laptop.? Anyway, what I really wanted to mention is that I followed the steps on this page and assigned a more human logic name to the USB ports.
?
 Also for the rotator (which right now I dont have conected) would be /dev/rot1y And even if I unplug them, when I plug them back they always be rig1s, rig1e, and rot1y. ?

Re: Filter DX Cluster By Band Allocation
This would be done better by applying a filter to the actual DX Cluster, so that it reports only those spots to QLog (or any other program that is receiving spots).

See for starters.

Re: No "MEEP MEEP sound" when using Chat on ON4KST
Hi?
As you told me in a previous mail that Qlog is not the same as on4kst-chat that is ok...that is why i aske other users how they get around the need for a sound "meep meep"
For several's years i have used SDR-radio and here i use VAC (virtuelle audio cables) so I don't have any "meep meep" audio and in to my wsjt-x or whatever software you use.?
And you have to activate the sound in the on4kst-chat setup...so there is nothing to setup in Qlog, I think ??
But it is really nice to have Qlog and the chat running at a small window on my screen...I have also SDR-thetis, pst-rotator, RF2ks spa....so yes my screen is nearly full..

Hello,
I already responded to this in my previous email from June 28. I might add a longer comment on why I¡¯m not focusing on playing sounds in QLog. Just listen to the FT8/FT4 traffic and hear how many system sounds from various applications are heard. This is because users mostly leave everything in default settings, which means their application outputs go to the sound cards which are used by WSJT-X. To prevent this in QLog, I would have to implement a QLog's output setting for these sounds to define prefered sound card for "Alerts". That means adding more settings for users, which they likely wouldn't change.?
Yes, you could say that users can change it, but very few will. QLog aims for minimal and simple settings. I think adding preferences for different sound cards would increase the complexity of settings. That¡¯s why I use sounds very minimally in QLog, because the goal of a logging application is not to disturb the operator while listening on the band.?
However, let's try to come up with something that could help you notice when a CQ message arrives. Apart from the window that displays messages only for your call, what else would help you?
