Good evening, how to use QSO filter for WWBOTA and all references e.g. B/G-xxxx?
Thanks for your help

Just close the filter window and it will list just QSO's with B/G- NNNNNN references
Also of course you could refer to the user guide

If you dont enter a ref it shows all BOTA worked

Thanks for the answer Terry. I meant to use the filter only to filter out references, for example all B/G- (B/OK- etc.). As you write, if I don't enter a reference, it will show all processed WWBOTA references (B/G-xxxx, B/OK-xxxx, B/LA-xxxx etc.), or. the exact reference (B/G-1234, B/OK-0123 etc. - this also works)

I assume that you have good reason not to use the View/Award status/WWBOTA award and then filter by country or award parameter?

The reason was this Terry: in View/Award Status/WWBOTA awards the QSO date and callsing are not displayed, which I wanted to do using the QSO filter and export. However, thank you for trying to help Terry.

No they are not because often there are often multiple contacts with the same ref but different stations, but the award reference can only be used once for an award. Clicking a cell or reference displays the stations worked at that reference or band
However if thats not what you need, why not filter firstly by DXCC ref or country name and also by award ref WWBOTA, that will provide a list of all contacts with a BOTA ref in the country selected
Multiple filters make Log4OM one of the most powerful QSO handling software available
you could filter for
Operator name = Fred
DXCC= 223
SOTA = (Empty)
Band = 40m
Mode = CW
start date = 25052025000154
End time = 26052025235959
Now your list shows all stations where you worked a SOTA activator on 40m CW and the operator was Fred, lived in England between 00.54 sec AM to 1 second before midnight on 25th May 2025, you could of course add to that some detail about yourself like what rig your were using.

That's exactly it Terry, thanks for the guide. I've already managed to filter B2B QSOs between OK and G.
dxcc=223
mysig=WWBOTA
References - WWBOTA (empty)
Thanks again for the help and guide.
