Backup your data often! BACKUP your log directory at the end of EVERY session!
|
|
All that you need to backup and store in a safe place is the log database directory
|
|
located in the ~/.config/cqrlog/database folder, or you can enable the autobackup function
|
|
in Preferences. This autobackup function creates an ADIF file with a backup of your log.

<a name="ah21"><h2><strong>QSL records</strong></h2></a>
|
|
All QSL operations must be done from the QSO list (Ctrl-O from the logging screen).
|
|
The QSO list has a dedicated QSL menu item in the upper menu bar.
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><strong>Send QSL</strong> - the sent QSL menu has following options:<br><br>
|
|
<img src="img/h71.png" border="0"><br><br>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Buro (B) (a 'B' appears in the log, column 'QSL sent')</li>
|
|
<li>Direct (D)</li>
|
|
<li>eQSL(E)</li>
|
|
<li>Manager (M)</li>
|
|
<li>Do not send (N)</li>
|
|
<li>Manager direct (MD)</li>
|
|
<li>Manager buro (MB)</li>
|
|
<li>Confirmad by email (CE)</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
If you want to send a QSL card, it is better to mark the QSO record with a similar mark
|
|
which begins with <strong>'S'</strong> (Send). This can be done with the Ctrl-W shortcut.
|
|
The QSO record will be marked with the default option <strong>'SB'</strong>
|
|
(Send via the Buro). For other options, go to the menu QSL->QSL send->Will send-> and
|
|
choose an appropriate option. Once a QSL is complete (ready to go), press Ctrl-S.
|
|
The 'S' letter disappears making it clearly visible that the QSL is complete and sent.
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><strong>Receive QSL</strong> - navigate to the record for the QSL card received.
|
|
Press Ctrl-R and in the 'QSL_R' (QSL Received) field an 'X' will appear.
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<strong>QSL manager search</strong><br><br>
|
|
<img src="img/h53.png" border="0"><br><br>
|
|
When you choose this option A QSL manager window appears, in the lower left corner is
|
|
a box with a <em>Find</em> button.<br><br>

<a name="bh4"><h2><strong>QSL labels printing</strong></h2></a>
|
|
|
|
<div align="justify">QSL label printing is accomplished with the gLabels software
|
|
which is very powerful and allows you to print QSL labels of any size,
|
|
any number, also a whole QSL card can be designed and printed in professional quality
|
|
(printer depending). The gLabels software can be downloaded from
|
|
http://glabels.sourceforge.net/. It contains numerous predefined templates of label sheets
|
|
from many manufacturers. Most Linux distributions have gLabels in their repositories.
|
|
</div>
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
<div align="justify">The main task of CQRLOG is data preparation in a format (CSV) which
|
|
can be processed by gLabels. Several QSOs on a single label are possible and
|
|
gLabels provides all that we need.
|
|
</div>
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
<strong>QSL label template</strong><br>
|
|
<IMG src="img/h72.png"><br><br>
|
|
<div align="justify">A template with data to be printed, its order, typeface, position etc.
|
|
is needed to print your QSL labels. gLabels uses its own format for label design.
|
|
The result is a binary file. The syntax can be derived from the label designer picture,
|
|
you own label design can be derived from the example qsl.glabels included in the CQRLOG
|
|
installation.
|
|
</div>
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
<strong>Printing of individual QSL labels (default)</strong><br><br>
|
|
<IMG src="img/h71.png"><br><br>
|
|
<div align="justify">The QSO records should be properly marked. Records previously marked
|
|
SB (Send Bureau), SM (Send Manager), SMB (Send Manager - Bureau), SD (Send Direct) or SMD
|
|
(Send Manager- Direct) in any combination are exported.
|
|
</div>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<IMG src="img/h70.png"><br><br>
|
|
<strong>Batch QSL label printing</strong>
|
|
|
|
<div align="justify">This method can be used if no QSO records are marked.
|
|
A filter can be set up, labels are printed for the filtered output and all such records
|
|
are marked as 'QSL sent'. To make this option effective, check the box 'Export all QSOs'
|
|
and 'Mark QSLs sent after export'. If you forget to check the 'Export all QSOs' box,
|
|
no output will be generated unless there are previously marked QSO records (see above).
|
|
If the 'Mark QSLs sent after export' remains unchecked, no QSO records will be marked as
|
|
'QSL sent'.
|
|
</div>
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
<div align="justify">For both methods, the filtering potential can be utilized.
|
|
For example, you can filter out all QSOs with DJ3 stations and print QSL labels for them.
|
|
You will get such output:
|
|
</div>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<IMG src="img/h73.png"><br>
|
|
|
|
<div align="justify">There is no need to print QSL labels online on your printer. A very
|
|
good and proven trick is to print the labels to a PDF file, check that for correctness and
|
|
proper alignment against a real label sheet and then print it.
|
|
</div>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<p align=center><img src=img/line.png></p>
|
|
<a name="bh5"><h2><strong>Auto mark QSL</strong></h2></a>
|
|
<IMG src="img/h74.png"><br><br>
|
|
<div align="justify">This option allows you to set the QSL field for the first QSO with a
|
|
particular station on a band, mode, band/mode or for the first band, mode, band/mode
|
|
contact with a particular DXCC country regardless of the station.<br><br>
|
|
<IMG src="img/h75.png"><br><br>
|
|
It works in cooperation with the filters, however the test for the 'first QSO' is taken
|
|
from the whole log. You can limit your selection to 2008 but if you worked this station
|
|
in 1998 for first time, it will NOT be marked. This prevents you from sending multiple QSLs
|
|
for an already confirmed contact on that band, mode or band+mode.
