Handling multi callsigns?
Posted: 19 May 2020, 12:29
Hello,
Nice forum, nice logging program and it looks great on Youtube.
I am currently using another logging program since many years and for several reasons I am looking into if it is actually time to change with all that comes with it. Some problems can example be that not all award data is transfered with the adif. There may be features missing in any new program.
However been looking at this one, HRD and DX Lab and so far I do like Log4OM the best from what I read and seen on Youtube.
Now, my main concern, which you guys probably easy can let me know how it can be done is that of use of multiple callsigns. In W-land it is very common to start with a Tech callsign, upgrade to a shorter callsign when getting the General licence and then when an Expert licence to get a 3x1 callsign. Even though one has had several callsigns one is eligble to use confirmations to all callsigns to awards.
Here in Sweden we generally have our SM and SA callsigns (and SL/SK for clubs) but we can also for a small annual sum buy vanity/contest callsigns (currently up to 2) in addition to your regular callsign.
Some people only use these and lay their SM/SA-call resting and some will use all their calls.
Anyhow, to my question.
Will Log4OM allow me to have several callsign databases? I have 3 Swedish calls, 2 Cook Island Calls, Cyprus Call, Azores Call, various /P calls?
And will Log4OM allow me to combine a user selected calls from the databases when searching awards? Example I can view all the DXCC, WAS, VUCC, WAZ and counties for SM6WET, SG6T, 8S6T, SM6WET/P at the same time?
