QSL Manager - uploading updated QSO info to Clublog

[G4KRW]

Hello, I would appreciate some help (or maybe even a Terry video: I find them very helpful ).

I am using the latest release of Log4OM (2.2.0.0). I have it set to automatically upload QSOs to eQSL and Clublog as they are logged (after the random delay). At the end of an operating session, using QSL Manager, I like to download new confirmations from eQSL, then upload new QSOs to LOTW, then download new confirmations from LOTW, then finally upload those new LOTW confirmations to Clublog. It's this last bit that I can't figure out how to do easily in v2.

I've been going through this procedure since I started using v1 and the whole thing takes only a couple of minutes. Having downloaded LOTW confirmations I just sort on LOTW date received, then select QSOs back to the last time I uploaded to Clublog, then move across to the Clublog tab in which the previously selected QSOs are still visible and do a Clublog upload. At no point do I have to worry about noting the callsigns of the updated QSOs, it's all done via dates.

However, I can't get this to work in v2. When I select the QSOs in the LOTW dropdown after downloading confirmations, the selection does not persist across to the Clublog dropdown. Also in the Clublog dropdown, I cannot find a way of getting the LOTW received date to display. I can see the LOTW status, but not date (it's not available as a column). Hence, other than noting all the callsigns and then searching for those manually, I can't think of a way to upload their new status to Clublog.

Really would appreciate guidance on how to do this. I have read the manual, watched the latest v2 YouTubes and done a lot of button clicking, all to no avail. Feel I must be missing something simple in this mighty piece of software.

Hello Richard,

you can add extra columns by right clicking on an existing coloumn and click on "Edit table layout".
"Received Date" is what you are looking for.

Hello Roland,

Many thanks for a quick reply.

Unfortunately, the problem is not about finding the LOTW received date in the LOTW drop down QSL Manager screen. I had already added "Received Date" column so I can see what dates are shown for LOTW confirmations. I do then make a selection of the relevant QSOs but when I move to the Clublog drop down in QSL manager, that selection disappears and all my QSOs are shown. In the Clublog dropdown QSL Manager screen all "Received Date" entries are blank, because there is nothing to receive from Clublog. What I need is a way of showing the LOTW Received Date when in the Clublog dropdown screen of QSL Manager. I have also tried using filter display but again there does not seem to be a way of getting the relevant QSOs to be visible.

I'd appreciate any further thoughts you, or others, may have.

Richard,

I got your point now. Unfortunately I don't think there is a way to exactly do that like you explained in Log4OM today.
Is there any reason why you are not uploading just any unsent QSL confirmations to Clublog ?

I would have reccommended the following but just discovered it dont dam well work

After doing whatever updates required:

1. Go to QSL Manager
2. Select Search confirmation = Clublog
3. In 'Filters' at bottom of window select the 'Confirmations' tab
4. Select 'Search confirmation = LOTW
5. Select received = Yes
6. Select 'Range' and input date ranges
7. Close the filter window

At that point the display should show just those QSO's that have been confirmed by LOTW between the dates chosen However that is not working so bug is now on our list

Meanwhile I suggest that after doing whatever updates are required you:

1. Go to QSL Manager
2. Select Search confirmation = Clublog
3. Select 'Special activities/Full clublog upload' at the top of the page
4. Click the green up arrow at the top right of the window

This will upload all QSO's, including the LOTW updated ones, to Clublog and replace the existing QSO's stored in clublog.

Thanks both Roland and Terry.

Terry, your recommendation of the filter / search and explanation that it is not working due to a bug came as something of a relief to me (though I imagine not to you) as I had tried that and was convinced the absence of results meant I was doing something wrong. I'll await a fix in due course. Thanks also for the suggested work-around. I'll use it sparingly but good to know that I can.

I have another query relating to WSJT-X comms but I'll ask that on another thread.

Really appreciate the help from both of you.
