Locator in standard format: This was intended to be a fix for issue #187 but it grow up during programming. -sets now locator writing by standard format "AB12cd" as described in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maidenhead_Locator_System#Description_of_the_system Also adif.org uses this link as reference in their descriptions. Writing format is forced at typing phase (I hope I found all loc inputs). Also ADIF input/output forces formatting and finally save qso to database will make sure the format is right. -Playing with locators made an idea of showing distances in QSO list. How ever Lazarus DBGrid does not allow showing calculated columns. Either an additional unit must be used to do this or database needs a new column "distance". That is why a selected QSO's distance is shown at bottom status area with "comment", "Award" and QSL times with total and longest qso distances of log or filter selection. But only if checked to be visible from preferences/visible columns (although it is not actually a column). -preferences/program/Show distance in miles affects also all places where distance is now shown. -Distance can also be selected to exist in ADIF, HTML and QSL label exports. -QSL label export has some new selections with distance. They are: Propagation, Satellite, Contest name and contest exchanges (4) -HTML export output is fixed to support CSS and HTML5. HTML export has now working column width (by average char count, not in pixels) or Auto column width selection. -HTML export column names can be changed by user. -Help files are updated Squashed commit of the following: commit de1cccf58e7698b275fa49be7765dde6665199f4 Author: OH1KH <oh1kh@sral.fi> Date: Wed Oct 2 20:09:08 2019 +0300 Found small big in fraExportPref commit f7697e910d6cf0e595d22d7c6fefb5999b04255b Author: OH1KH <oh1kh@sral.fi> Date: Tue Oct 1 09:55:34 2019 +0300 help update commit a4958fda68db0117666ac47841aa92a28a473b36 Author: OH1KH <oh1kh@sral.fi> Date: Mon Sep 30 16:56:29 2019 +0300 NewQso:fix rxfreq input limit.

<br><br>
<strong><h3>Description:</h3></strong>
<div align="justify">
<div>CQRLOG is an advanced ham radio logging application based
on a MySQL database. It provides radio interfacing utilizing the hamlib libraries
(currently support for 140+ radio types and models), DX cluster
connection, band map, QRZ.com/HamQTH.com callbook (XML access),
ClubLog and Logbook of the World support, IOTA support, a
grayliner, propagation indicator, xplanet support (maps in azimuthal projection centered in
your QTH), OK1RR free QSL manager database etc.
<br> <br>CQRLOG is intended mainly for seriously HF DX minded operators
but can be used for any ham logging purpose, also by casual operators.
It is equipped with probably most accurate DXCC country database
available, providing not only the country resolution but also state,
province, region, district etc. It resolves also antarctic bases,
special event stations, contest callsigns and much more.<br><br>
CQRLOG has its own web site at
<a href=http://www.cqrlog.com><strong>http://www.cqrlog.com</strong></a>.
Find news, changes, latest additional files and howtos there.
If you have a problem, browse the web site first, then ask for help.

<br><br>The authors are not responsible for any damages, losses or safety risks to the user; the software is

<br><br><strong><h3>Supported transceivers:</h3>
</strong> The Radio Control interface is provided using <i>hamlib</i>,
a set of libraries, which is a development effort to provide a
consistent interface for programmers wanting to incorporate radio
control in their programs. <i>hamlib</i> is not a complete user
application, rather, it is a software layer intended to make
controlling various radios and other shack hardware much easier.
<br><br> Most recent amateur radio transceivers allow external control
of their functions through a serial interface. Unfortunately, control
commands are not always consistent across a manufacturer's product line
and each manufacturer's product line differs greatly from its
competitors.
<br><br> There's no standardized protocol to remotely control one's
rig, be it a Ham radio transceiver, a SWL receiver, any kind of scanner
or other mobiles. However, many manufacturer have designed their
own proprietary protocol, implemented in some of their product family.
Therefore, each rig family will require a <i>hamlib</i> backend to set
the VFO frequency, change mode and passband width, get current signal
strength, etc. The actual list of supported radios can be found <a href="https://sourceforge.net/p/hamlib/wiki/Supported%20Radios/"><strong>on Hamlib website</strong></a>.
<br><br> <strong><h3>Installation:</h3></strong>
Ubuntu users can use a repository on <a href="https://launchpad.net/~ok2cqr/+archive/ubuntu/ppa">Launchpad</a>. To add the repo, open a terminal and copy&amp;paste<br><br>
<code>
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ok2cqr/ppa<br>
sudo apt-get update<br>
sudo apt-get install cqrlog <br>
</code><br>
Only Ubuntu 14.04 and Ubuntu 16.04 are officially supported but there are also builds for other
versions of Ubuntu on <a href="https://launchpad.net/~ok2cqr/+archive/ubuntu/ppa">Launchpad</a>.
<br><br>
Debian users can simply install using the package manager<br><br>
<code>
sudo apt-get install cqrlog <br>
</code><br><br>
For other distributions, you can use binaries located at
<a href="http://cqrlog.com/download">http://cqrlog.com/download</a>.
Some of them, like Fedora and Arch, have their own repositories for CQRLOG - Fedora: <a
href="https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/cqrlog">https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/cqrlog</a>
ArchLinux <a href="https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/cqrlog/">https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/cqrlog/</a><br>
If upgrading, no important file will be overwritten. Anyway, <strong>backup your log</strong> before you begin any
upgrade!
<br><br><strong><h3>Dependencies:</h3></strong>
<ul>
<li><strong>HamLib</strong> - must be installed even if you don't want radio control. The sources are available
at <a href="http://hamlib.sourceforge.net/"><strong>http://hamlib.sourceforge.net/</strong></a>, however
precompiled packages are available for almost all major Linux distributions.
</li>
<li><strong>MySQL server and client</strong> - The MySQL client must be installed,
without this the program will not work at all. A MySQL server must be reachable,
either on the local machine or via a network.
</li>
<li><strong>libssl-devel</strong> needed if you want to use LoTW and/or online log upload
</ul>
</div>
<strong><h3>Third Party Programs</h3></strong>
<ul>
<li><strong>Hamlib</strong> - <strong><font color="#FF0000">NEEDED</font></strong>,
without this CQRLOG will not work!
</li>
<li><strong>Trusted QSL</strong> - for LoTW operations. Ubuntu and Debian have this package in their repositories.</li>
<li><strong>xplanet</strong> - for DX Cluster spot visualization on the azimuthal map.</li>
<li><strong>cwdaemon</strong> - for CW operation, only if you choose parallel or serial port keying without Winkey.
</li>

cwdaemon use may result in <strong>sloppy CW at speeds above 30 WPM</strong>.
Use Winkey (by K1EL) if possible or your <strong>kernel must be modified to minimalize the
latency</strong>. Tickless, high resolution timer and 1000 Hz sampling rate must be used.
Recommended for very experienced linux users only!
