I have the logbook from Missouri QSO party still active. How do I close this out, so it no longer shows. Also, do I need to merge those QSOs into my main logbook, so I get credit for them or are they automatically added to my account?? Thanks, loving this site! Great job

@WV1DAD The logbook for the contest will persist in your list of logs even though the contest has ended. If you would like to merge those contacts into your main logbook you can do this and it should remove the contest log from the list. However something to note, currently if you merge them you wont show in the WRL leaderboard after you have merged since those contacts wont be in your contest log anymore. We are working on an update that will fix this so you will be able to merge those contacts, removing your contest log and still show in the leaderboard. I just don’t currently have a timeline for when that will be pushed live. General good practice after a contest is completed would be to export your contest log (some people also save them locally on their computers for record keeping, others don’t), and upload it to the contest’s website to submit your results so you get credit for the QSO’s you made during the contest. I hope this helps! Let us know if you have any other questions or concerns! Happy to help!
Thanks & 73

Good morning Brad thank you for the email and explanation I really appreciate everything. I wish I wouldn’t have been so quick on the trigger after I sent the email I was playing around with it and saw that I could merge it with my main logbook and I did such that. Now after reading your email I went to the contest page for Missouri QSO I saw that I no longer am in first place and I lost all my points because I merged. Lesson learned there I guess. Appreciate what you all are doing be safe.

@WV1DAD Your very welcome! No big deal, the leaderboards on WRL only show the rankings for users that are within the WRL ecosystem and not contest wide. Like I said previously we are working on some changes that will keep users listed on the leaderboard even if they happen to merge their contest contacts into a main logbook. I’ve done this myself so I completely understand! If you run into any issues or have any questions please feel free to reach out! We welcome the feedback and are happy to help!
