Before Logging

Personal Logging

Use your own account, your own station location, and your personal logbook.

Use QSO -> Live QSO for real-time operation.

Use QSO -> Post QSO for contacts entered after operating.

Club Mode

Switch into club mode before logging club, special event, or Field Day contacts.

To switch in:

  2. Open the upper-right user/menu area.
  3. Choose the club station or special event station.
  4. Confirm the switch.
  5. Verify the club station context is active.
  6. Confirm station location and logbook.

To switch back:

  1. Save any open QSO.
  2. Use the upper-right “Switch back” option, or log out and log back in.
  3. Confirm your personal account is active again.

If you do not see the club station option, contact Rick or Terry.

Logging a QSO

  1. Open QSO -> Live QSO or QSO -> Post QSO.
  2. Enter callsign.
  3. Verify date/time, band, frequency, mode, and reports.
  4. Add grid, name, QTH, notes, or references as needed.
  5. Save.
  6. Check the recent contacts or Logbook view.

Confirming Contacts

Open Logbook, find the QSO, and use the QSO details/edit menu to update QSL, eQSL, LoTW, or other confirmation status.

WavelogGate Setup

WavelogGate URL:

https://wavelog.k6ldf.com/index.php

WavelogGate needs:

  • Wavelog URL including index.php
  • API key
  • Correct station profile
  • Optional radio control through FLRig, Hamlib, or Internal Hamlib

Create API keys in the correct context:

  • Personal key for personal logging
  • Club/event key while switched into the club station for club logging

WSJT-X to WavelogGate

In WSJT-X:

  1. File -> Settings -> Reporting
  2. Enable Secondary UDP Server
  3. Server: localhost
  4. Port: 2333

Use Secondary UDP Server, not Primary UDP.

WavelogGate Common Ports

  • 2333 UDP: receives WSJT-X/FLDigi QSOs
  • 54321 HTTP: Wavelog QSY requests
  • 54322 WebSocket: radio status

Stop and Ask

Stop logging and contact Rick or Terry if:

  • You are unsure whether you are in personal or club mode.
  • Contacts are going into the wrong log.

  • Creating an API key in the wrong account context.
  • Leaving index.php off the WavelogGate URL.
