Prior Contact History

I’ve been using WRL for several weeks now and it has fast become my favorite logging software! I read through the feature development frequently and I’m impressed with the road map and the pace of development.

I have a thought on a different use of some screen real-estate. I would like to see contact history during a repeat contact without the need to search in the log on the right side of the page. This would eliminate the extra step need to do a look up.

Here’s what I see now:

I like seeing those four stat’s blocks but I think I’d rather see those on the profile or analytics views and instead use this screen real estate to show the log history of the current contact being worked.

So that any call sign looked up above also shows the prior log entries below. Something like this:

This would eliminate the need to switch on the right side of the page from the spotting view to the logging view and typing in the call sign to see history. Instead, any call sign looked up above on the left shows history below it.

Thoughts?

Hey, Tom!

This is an awesome feature that we’ve actually already added! As you can see in this screenshot, we show the number of times you have worked the current station, along with a view button to see each of those contacts! Let me know if you have any questions or suggestions to make this even better!

@N0APX That’s great, Thanks! I managed to look right past the eyeball icon.

Any chance you could add a checkbox so the prior contact list view is a default?

Keep up the great work!

I was just thinking about that earlier! I’ll get something of that nature cooked up with the team and we’ll see what happens!

A real upgrade to this that has been requested by several people woud be to also have a column in the QSO manager that allows you to sort all QSOs by the number of times contacted. FOr example, the most contacts I have with anyone one operator is with N0APX, then when that column is clicked, N0APX shows up at the top and the list descends with number of QSOs

@K8FXY Hey Josh, Yeah this is on the feature request list.
