The ability to export to Logbook of the World (as in QRZ.com) would be a fantastic benefit to the logbook.
Hello Andrew!
Exporting WRL logs to LoTW, Clublog, qrz, etc. is in the roadmap

Perfect! Thanks, Alfredo!
TNX Andy!!!
By the way, is upload to eQSL included?
Yes!

I’m more interested in being able to import my logs from QRZ to WRL here since there isn’t any software that supports automatic uploading logs to WRL. By the way, does WRL have an API interface for uploading .ADI logs here in and automated process? When will some of these features be implemented? Any dates?
I hope security checks are being performed on a regular basis for this website to make sure servers and websites can’t be hacked? What tests are being performed to assure security?
As a retired IT security person, I don’t want to be a member of any websites that are hacked.
We all know LoTW was hacked and ARRL isn’t telling anyone about the hack. While I’m not keeping anything I’m concerned about there, I believe it’s the law to report such breaches, and the ARRL is ignoring it’s legal responsibilities…
Hi John, thank you so much for joining the World Radio League! We’re focused on building a worldwide platform for logging that will re-define amateur for the next decade and beyond.
THANK YOU for the support and for becoming a VIP member with us!!
I’m the CEO here, let me answer some of your questions
-
.ADI file import is already live in the platform. You can access this from the Log Contacts page. We will additionally be adding direct integrations from QRZ, WSJT-X, and others
-
With regards to security, we take security VERY seriously. We understand that losing any user data or any breach is unacceptable, so we take regular backups and we also are constantly implementing security best practices. Our online apps are hosted in Google Cloud and use Google Authentication.
It means a lot to have you hear and to have your support. We are still a very new organization (less than 1 year!) but we are growing fast and getting features live all the time!
Yes, thanks for your response. I see that I can import .ADI files once logged into the application, but what is the common API URL where without being logged in to the app, upload my log files using my authentication like QRZ and other websites have available? I don’t see that. Also your site is rating the most contacts by users without counting uploaded logs it seems. So you are not counting people who upload logs and only people who manually enter each and every contact? I’m not manually entering contacts as that is labor intensive. My uploading my .ADI files from WSJT-X or what local logging app I’m using is the smart thing to do. Maybe I’m just a newby and don’t understand the way this site works, but it seems it’s more difficult to use this site than it should be. Thanks again for providing a modern amateur radio logging site…
Its us who should be thanking you John! Thanks for being willing to try something new out and giving us this direction.

We don’t have the direct integration for the API URL today, but it is on the roadmap! We will be building it soon.
-
We don’t currently count uploaded logs for the leaderboards, but we are planning to change that soon based on user feedback.
-
Today, uploading from WSJT-X or local logger is the best option. We will be adding a direct WSJT-X integration and also building a local/offline logger too.
I hope this helps, please don’t hesitate to message us anytime.
I’m glad to hear that uploaded contacts will be counted. I understand the principle of not counting them, but, with the workflow so many hams have, uploading to QRZ.com and such for credit I think it’s probably the best option.
How far out is that roadmap? Is it getting closer to being an option?
@W4WAG As a member of the team now myself, I can state that we are starting preliminary work on cloud integrations very soon!
