LF and MF bands

Post by g3yxm »

Dear all

I came to enter a 472kHz QSO yesterday (630m) and the band is not available in Log4OM. Neither is the 136kHz band (2200m).
Can these be added?

Thank Dave GM3YXM

Yes just edit the bandmap, see other thread here about doing that

Well I've had a search for "edit bandmap" and failed to come up with anything. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
The point is that these are international bands and should really be there on the built-in list to choose from.

You have to change the bandlist.txt in the configuration folder and the bandplan of your DXCC in the bandplan folder.
England has DXCC 223. In Log4OM use Help/Open config folder to find the bandmap list and the Bandplan folder. Make
your changes in the files, save them and restart Log4OM.

Thanks Juergen, it's a case of "RTFM" I guess!
It would be easier if they were there by default though.
Also there is an inconsistency in that one band is down as "136khz" and the other as "600m" in the DXCC223 file.

I'm on a steep learning curve!
