Highlight stations worked today only?

App Help & How-To
1

I’m very new to WRL (and the hobby in general) so my apologies if I’m missing something obvious. Tried searching but couldn’t quite find it.

I did some logging today while POTA hunting and noticed stations I had already worked were highlighted green in the spotting window. This was very useful as it helped me to avoid contacting someone twice.

But what happens when I want to contact the same station for a different activation (e.g., they activate another park tomorrow)? Will they still be highlighted green tomorrow?

If so, is there any current way for me to highlight stations that I have worked today ONLY, or will I need to keep track of those manually?

Thanks!

@KR4JFV Hey Wes,

The duplication detection for pota works off of UTC day as well as different parks. For example, it will only highlight and show the contact as a dupe if the logged contact is at the same park within the same UTC day. If the contact is activating multiple parks in the same UTC day (not a 2fer/3fer etc) it wont park them as a duplicate or highlight them once they are spotted at the 2nd park.

I hope this helps and welcome to WRL and the hobby! Hope to hear you on the air!

Thanks & 73

@K4AZE Just to clarify, as a POTA hunter I have a lot of the same contacts just before and then again just after the new UTC day, and when I first enter the call sign in the new day it will still flag it as a DUPE as I’m entering the info, but then once I actually log it the DUPE designation will go away.

That threw me off the first couple of times but now I just ignore it.
