Main Log

The Main Log tab-page shows a stored ADIF log, that can be plotted on the Online and Overlay Maps. It is designed to provide a method of keeping a permanent record of calls, regions, and especially grid locators that have been contacted so far, and provides a useful visual record of your operating achievements. Sub-selections of the log can be plotted, detailing QSOs by band, mode, or confirmed status. The Main Log has its own upper menu-group, on the top line of the window, with various menu sub-items: Load Main Log, Merge All from Auxiliary, Plot All Calls, Plot Confirmed Calls, Plot Unconfirmed Calls, Plot Calls By Band, Plot Calls By Mode, Delete Main Log.

When first supplied, the Main Log contains a fictional sample-log, to show you some of the things that can be done with a saved log, but this log can easily be deleted and replaced with your own ADIF log. There is a separate menu-item for loading the Main Log. QSOs can also be Merged to the Main log from the Auxiliary log.

You can select a line by left or right-clicking it. Unlike the 'Tables' page, the Main Log page allows multiple lines to be selected simultaneously. Left clicking will select one line at a time. Holding the Control-Key down whilst left clicking will add lines to the current selection. Right-clicking will also add lines to the current selection. Holding the Shift-Key down whilst clicking will select all lines from the last selection to the current line.

Right-clicking a line in the Main Log shows a context-menu with various options: Show on Map, Copy Line to Clipboard, Edit Line, Delete Line, Delete All Selected.

Note that Main Log facilities are only available during the Trial Period, and if the programme is subsequently registered with an 'Advanced' licence. You can always upgrade a 'Standard' licence if you wish to enable Main and Auxiliary Log storage and plotting.
