Fldigi maintains a large set of QSO logbook fields that will probably be
|
|
sufficient for casual operating, contesting and some certificate logging. All
|
|
of the fields that are captured in the logbook are maintained in an ADIF
|
|
database that can be read by any logbook program that can read the ADIF text
|
|
format.

\section list_of_log_fields List of Log Fields

The data in the fldigi logbook can be exported to external text files;
|
|
ADIF, text, and CSV (comma separated value). The ADIF can be
|
|
read by any ADIF compatible logbook program. The text output is
|
|
suitable for use in a wordprocessor and for printing. The CSV can
|
|
be read into many spreadsheet programs such as Excel, Open Office or
|
|
Gnumeric.

\section digital_mode_signal_reports Digital Modes Signal Reports
|
|
|
|
Fldigi does not enforce any rules on signal reporting. It could very
|
|
well do so for many of the modes in which signal quality is inherently
|
|
measured as a part of the decoder. Learning how to evaluate a
|
|
signal, to properly report it, and then help in correcting deficiencies
|
|
should be the goal of every amateur operator. Please read further
|
|
on using both \ref rst_rsq_page "RST and RSQ signal reports".
|
|

|
\section capturing_qso_data Capturing QSO Data
|
|
|
|
Fldigi supports two QSO capture panels. The first for casual QSO logging
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
\image html log-qso.png "QSO capture panel"
|
|
\image latex log-qso.png "QSO capture panel" width=6.5in
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
and the second for contest fields
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
\image html log-contest.png "Contest capture panel"
|
|
\image latex log-contest.png "Contest capture panel" width=6.5in
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
You might prefer a more minimal view of the logging fields. You can select
|
|
to completely suppress the log panel or to use a single line view as in
|
|
either of these two:
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
\image html log-qso-min.png "Minimal QSO Capture Panel"
|
|

|
|
\image latex log-contest-min.png "Minimal Contest Capture Panel" width=6.5in
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
These are selectable from the View menu:
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
\image html menu-view.png "View menu"
|
|
\image latex menu-view.png "View menu" width=1.5in
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
These three buttons are associated with logbook entries.
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li> The globe button provides access
|
|
to \ref callsign_db_configuration_page "QRZ queries" </li>
|
|
<li>The brush button clears all of the logging entries </li>
|
|
<li>The save-into button saves the current logging entries into the
|
|
logbook</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
\image html log-buttons.png "Log Buttons"
|
|

|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
The frequency, Off (time off), and \#Out are filled by the program. All
|
|
the others can be populated by manual keyboard entry or by
|
|
selection from the Rx panel. The time off, Off, is continuously
|
|
update with the current GMT. The time on, On, will be filled in
|
|
when the Call is updated, but can be modified later by the operator.
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
A right click on the Rx panel brings up a context sensitive menu that will
|
|
reflect which of the two QSO capture views you have open.
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
|
|
\image html menu-rx-popup-long.png "Normal Menu"
|
|
\image latex menu-rx-popup-long.png "Normal Menu" width=1.0in

|
|
\image html menu-rx-popup-contest-short.png "Contest Menu"
|
|
\image latex menu-rx-popup-contest-short.png "Contest Menu" width=1.0in
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
If you highlight text in the Rx pane then the menu selection will operate
|
|
on that text. If you simply point to a word of text and right
|
|
click then the menu selection will operate on the single word.
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
Certain fields may also be populated with automatic parsing, Call, Name, QTH
|
|
and Loc. You point to the Rx pane word and then either
|
|
double-left-click or hold a shift key down and left click. The
|
|
program will attempt to parse the word as a regular expression to
|
|
populate the Call, Name, QTH, and Loc fields in that order. It
|
|
may place some non standard calls into the Loc field if they qualify as
|
|
a proper Maidenhead Grid Square, such as MM55CQ. That may be a
|
|
special event station, but it also looks like a grid square locator
|
|
value. You need to decide when that occurs and use the pop up
|
|
menu for those special cases. The first non-Call non-Loc word
|
|
will fill the Name field and subsequent qualify words will go into the
|
|
QTH field.
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
A highlighted section of text, can always be copied
|
|
to the clipboard for subsequent pasting elsewhere. The Copy menu
|
|
item will be active when text in the Rx pane has been highlighted. That
|
|
text can also be saved to a file. Use the \"Save as...\" menu item for that
|
|
purpose. All data fields in fldigi share a common set of keyboard
|
|
shortcuts. Linux users will recognize these as familiar Emacs
|
|
shortcuts. There is also a small popup menu that can be opened for each
|
|
field by right clicking the contents with the mouse:
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
\image html menu-popup-edit-field.png "Menu Popup Edit Field"
|
|
\image latex menu-popup-edit-field.png "Menu Popup Edit Field" width=1.6in
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
Highlighted text will be overwritten when a paste is selected. Otherwise the
|
|
clipboard will be pasted at the current cursor position.
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
You can query on-line and local CD based data base systems for data
|
|
regarding a Call. Set up your query using
|
|
the \ref callsign_db_configuration_page "Callsign DB configuration tab".
|
|
You make the query by either clicking on the globe button, or
|
|
selecing "Look up call" from the menu. The latter will also move
|
|
the call to the Call field and make the query.
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
If you have previously worked a station the logbook will be searched for the
|
|
most recent qso and fill the Name, Qth and other fields from the logbook. If
|
|
the logbook dialog is open that last QSO will be selected for viewing in the
|
|
logbook.
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
You open the logbook by selecting from the Logbook menu; Logbook/View. The
|
|
logbook title bar will show you which logbook you currently have open.
|
|
Fldigi can maintain an unlimited (except for disk space) number of logbooks.
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
\image html logbook.png "Log Book"
|
|
\image latex logbook.png "Log Book" width=6.0in
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
You can resize the dialog to suit your screen size and operating needs.
|
|
Fldigi will remember the placement and size for subsequent use.
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
You can create new entries, update existing entries, and delete entries
|
|
using this dialog. You can also search for an entry by callsign. The browser
|
|
can be sorted by Date, Callsign, Frequency or Mode. The sort can
|
|
be forward or backward with the most recent being the default selected
|
|
entry after each sort. You execute the sort by clicking on the
|
|
column button at the top of the column to be sorted. Each click
|
|
causes the sort to reverse. I like to view my log with the most
|
|
recent at the top. You might want to view it with the most recent on the
|
|
bottom.
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
There are no frills such as keeping track of DXCC
|
|
worked, fancy printouts etc. Fldigi's logbook is primarily a
|
|
capture function. You can export your data for use with an
|
|
external database or for uploading to LOTW or eQSL. Data from
|
|
those sources can also be used for importing into the logbook.
