CQRLOG for LINUX by OK2CQR & OK1RR

QSO record edit

Most editing operations can be done from the QSO list window which appears by pressing Ctrl-O or clicking the corresponding menu item from the logging screen.

The QSO list displays either all QSO records or a limited number (QSO since ... year), depending on the Preferences -> Program settings.

This window has a quite complex icon system which is explained here:

A single record can be edited (viewed, deleted) if you highlight it using mouse or up/down keys and click the corresponding button (it will be EA8FC in the example above). You will be returned to the QSO logging window which is now changed to an Edit window. This status is clearly marked with the red message (edit mode) just behind the Call header which is also displayed in red. All fields can be edited. When you finish editing, you should save the chages using the ENTER key or by clicking the Save QSO [enter] button, in the same way that you do when you log a new contact.

A QSO record can now be edited directly from the logging screen. The QSOs made in last few days (see Preferences -> New QSO) are displayed in the logging screen. Right click on the required record which appears in the logging screen, and select edit QSO, exactly as described above (here OH1MRR will be edited).


You can also view the record and search in the HamQth or QRZ database or look for the QSL manager in the IK3QAR QSL manager database. And if eQSL is marked as received you have option to view eQSL (opens in web browser).

A record can be tagged by clicking the corresponding icon or with the mouse - hold the Ctrl key on the keyboard and left click on the QSO record to be tagged.
