Old QSL's to Log4OM

I have hundreds of old QSL's from the paper log days.
Can I manually enter these into Log4OM, and how?

Will Log4OM identify old prefixes from countries that no longer exist, assuming that QRZ can't recognize them?

Will these be automatically credited into my awards tracking in log4om?

BTW, I've stopped using HRD - Log4OM is so much better and easier! :) :D

Hi,
Yes its fairly easy, I think :D

First turn of CAT control by going to the "Settings" drop down menu and click on "Suspend CAT Reading"

Check the "Manual time" box as shown below

Then sort your QSL cards into rough date order by year/month to make the entering the date and time faster

Enter the QSO details, select the date, time, mode and enter the frequency (The band will be entered automatically)

You will need to make sure the DXCC entity and ref number are correctly selected for those entities that have changed prefix - The can always be errors :cry:

Once entered correctly these QSO's will be included in your award statistics.
