Changing a logbook call sign

[AD9HV]

I’m an NCS for a special event station that will be starting next week. I’d like to use WRL to log the contacts I make for the event as we have no dedicated logging program, except for QRZ. My problem is I don’t know how to change the SES logbook call sign. It defaults to my personal call. This creates a problem when I try to export the ADIF files to QRZ.

So my main question is can I edit a logbook’s call sign so it will use the SES call when exporting ADIF files?

Thanks and 73,

Ted, AD9HV

P.S., if this isn’t in the right forum, please move it.

I have been looking into how to log my SES soon and I believe you’ll just create a separate logbook. Someone correct me if any of this is incorrect.

How to set up SES in WRL

1. Create a New Logbook:

   • Go to your Logbooks dashboard and click New Logbook.

   • Name it something clear for your SES.

2. Access Logbook Settings:

   • Open that new logbook and click the Gear Icon (Settings) in the top-right corner.

3. Override the Callsign:

   • Look for the field labeled Callsign for This Logbook (it might also be under a “Station Callsign” section).

   • Enter SES here. This ensures that any contact you log in this specific book is associated with the special event callsign, not your own .

4. Set the Operator Field:

   • There is often a separate Operator field. Enter your call sign there. This is a great feature of WRL—it preserves the fact that you were the one on the mic, while the official “Station” record is your SES.

5. Save: Scroll down and click Save Settings.

Here’s what it looks like when I create my new logbook for my SES “K0S”.

Yeah, I can get there, but when I export the .adif file, it uses my personal call sign and not the SES call.

I got it figured out. I was entering the SES call into the wrong spot.
