I know that some of these things are in the works, but all of them would help further my dream of uninstalling all my other amateur radio software except maybe WSTJ-X.
LOTW Uploads.
Robust Contesting Logging to completely replace N1MM or N3FJP.
Send and receive CW from the app (maybe even RTTY, Hell, and other digital modes).
In CW contesting, the speeds get too fast for my 75-year-old brain, and it’s nice to have a decoder on hand (like CWGet or CW Skimmer) to help.
Also, for contesting, adding the ability to create CW and voice macros. (It’s not cheating – all serious contesters use both voice and CW programmable keyers.)
@KQ4Y All of these things are on the roadmap already
In the meantime at least for #1. Since you have a QRZ subscription you can just export your WRL QSO’s to QRZ and have QRZ auto export them to LOTW via your QRZ logbook settings.
Great - as for #1, it works better for me to export to LOTW first, then have QRZ get the contact from LOTW. I operate from various remote locations, and QRZ always shows my home county instead of the location listed in the WRL log. Maybe I can figure out why that happens - thanks!
@KQ4Y There are location settings in your QRZ logbook account that can be changed to fix that. I’m always sketchy about LOTW just because they have been known to strip data from the QSO record (ie RST data, etc).
Right. QRZ always add my home county (Nassau County, FL) when I have the QSO sent from WRL. I don’t even see where my home county is in QRZ anywhere and I don’t see it anywhere in WRL.
When I import to QRZ from LOTW, the correct location shows up - it’s been a mystery to me!
Can you see anywhere in WRL that Nassau County, FL or Fernandina Beach, FL is listed for me?
@KQ4Y In QRZ you goto your callsign in the upper right hand corner and click ‘EDIT KQ4Y’ then you click ‘Map, Grid Square, and coordinate settings’ then you can update your location there.
In WRL you assign a location to each of your logbooks via your logbook location. Looking in your account, in your three logbooks you only have 1 location set for the KQ4Y logbook but not for the other two. You’ll just need to go into the logbook and then logbook settings and click location at the top, then either selected a saved location from the drop down or click ‘custom location’ and enter a location that way. Keep in mind though that when you add a location to your logbook, if you already have QSO’s in that logbook it wont update the previous QSO’s with that location, only new QSO’s. You can update those previously logged QSO’s with the location but you need to do that via the QSO manager and bulk update them.
