Why join Club Log?

Posted date: December 18, 2014in: DxingNo Comments

Club Log is not only an expedition log search service, but a toolkit for all DXers.

If you sign up and upload your log, you will be able to track and refine your log and DXing progress more closely. Your participation will also improve the usefulness of the database – for example the propagation and most-wanted charts – and as a result help expeditions to plan their activities in the future.

Did you know that Club Log will completely automate filling in OQRS forms, and show you which slots you need, if you have an account? You can sign up free anytime.

About Club Log

Introduction by Michael G7VJR

Club Log is a web-based application that analyses log files from radio amateurs all over the world. Using the logs, Club Log offers you a wide range of reports for your own benefit, and identifies large scale trends from the sum of all activity in the database.

If you participate in Club Log by uploading your log you will receive:

Personal DXCC reports and league tables
Detailed analysis of your log, using researched DXCC information
Zone charts for your log, again based on detailed research
A personal timeline of your activity (DXCCs per year, band and mode info)
Your own log search tool, eg. to link from your web page or QRZ profile
A filtered DX Cluster which only tells you about DX you still ‘need’
A say in the Club Log most wanted report: your log is part of the trend data
Access to propagation and activity predictions, using everyone’s logs
QSL suggestions to help you send out just the cards you need
OQRS (Online QSL Requests) to make direct and bureau QSLing faster and easier
Satisfaction from taking part in and improving a free DXing resource.

In November 2014, Club Log received the prestigious Al Slater G3FXB Memorial Award from FOC, and in 2012 the Yasme Foundation made a special grant for equipment costs to Club Log. The service continues to grow in scope every year!

Club Log Needs Your Input

One of the driving principles of Club Log is to store as many QSOs as possible, as this makes the reports and statistics more meaningful and representative. Everything in Club Log depends upon analysing real QSOs, and for this reason I am very grateful to everyone who participates.

If you have not joined yet, I warmly invite you to sign up and join the action! It is completely free. Club Log needs more participants from North America at the moment, in particular.
