KC3YPF here and I was interested in the procedure to export a logbook once it was created and saved to the Pota site. Is their anything I have to do on the Pota site or will it automatically be logged. Appreciate any help on this matter. 73

@KC3YPF Good morning/afternoon,
So what you’ll want to do is create a new logbook and make sure you set the logbook template to the ‘POTA activator’ template and then set your logbook to the POTA activity and enter your park information (see screenshots). This is the same on the web app and the mobile apps.
Once you’ve done that and have logged your QSO’s you’ll want to goto the logbook settings (the gear icon) and click the ‘Export US-XXX ADIF’ button, this will export your logbook with the proper fields that POTA needs when you upload your logbook to them.
Then just goto the pota site and click the ‘My Log Uploads’ button and upload your ADIF you exported from WRL.
One thing to note before you do the export is to make sure you have a frequency, band and mode set for each QSO. We are working on some updates that will prompt the user when they are exporting their ADIF if this information is missing but we are still finalizing testing on this functionality and it hasn’t been released yet. So for now I would just double check each of your QSO’s before exporting.
Let me know if you have any other questions or need a hand with anything. We’re happy to help and welcome the feedback!
Thanks & 73
