Merging Logs

Post by KQ8M »

Hi,

If I make a copy of the same log and work on it elsewhere can I merge it without duplicates. I am updating awards on my laptop while watching TV and the main log is on my main desktop. If the only thing that is changed is QSL and award status will that merge and update the existing QSO's, will it make duplicate QSO's or will it just ignore the changed QSO's. All other parts of the QSO is the same.

Thanks for any help,

Tim, KQ8M

No it will ignore the QSO's that have the same call sign, band, frequency, date and time as duplicates.

Best way is to use a cloud storage for the location of your database and then both computers can update it and access it - See our user guide Page 158 >>

QSL Management has a "merge" feature that effectively merge inbound QSO with informations not present in the main log.
Try checking if the result is ok with 1-2 QSO
