 \section{Data storage model}
 Many amateur radio operators choose to store all the contacts they ever make in a single \textit{logbook}, whereas others keep a separate logbook for each year, for example. Each logbook may be divided up to form multiple distinct \textit{logs}, perhaps one for casual repeater contacts and another for DX'ing. Finally, each log can contain multiple \textit{records}. PyQSO is based around this three-tier model for data storage, going from logbooks at the top to individual records at the bottom. 
 
-Rather than storing each log in a separate file, a single database can hold several logs together; in PyQSO, a database is therefore analogous to a logbook. Within a database the user can create multiple tables which are analogous to the logs. Within each table users can create/modify/delete the records which are analogous to the records in each log.

 \section{Structure of this manual}
-The structure of this manual is as follows. Chapter \ref{chap:getting_started} is concerned with the installation, running, and overall layout of PyQSO. It also describes how to create a  new logbook and open an existing one. Chapter \ref{chap:log_management} explains how to create a log in the logbook, as well as the basic operations that users can perform with existing logs, such as printing, importing from/exporting to ADIF format, and sorting. Chapter \ref{chap:record_management} deals with the bottom layer of the three-tier model -- the creation, deletion, and modification of QSO records in a log. Chapter \ref{chap:toolbox} introduces the PyQSO toolbox which contains three tools that are useful to amateur radio operators: a DX cluster, grey line plotter, and an awards progress tracker. Finally, Chapter \ref{chap:preferences} explains how users can set up Hamlib support and show/hide various fields in a log, along with several other user preferences that can be set via the Preferences dialog window.

 \section{DX cluster}
 A DX cluster is essentially a server through which amateur radio operators can report and receive updates about QSOs that are in progress across the bands. PyQSO is able to connect to a DX cluster that operates using the Telnet protocol to provide a text-based alert service. As a result of the many different Telnet-based software products that DX clusters run, PyQSO currently outputs the raw data received from the DX cluster rather than trying to parse it in some way.
