SWL Cards

Hello,

Is there somewhere a possibility to register the received SWL cards in LOG4om2?
When I receive a SWL card, I check the QSO and this could indicate that I have received a SWL report for that same QSO.
Afterwards you can print labels for my QSL cards.

QSL manager - Try watching the three Youtube videos on 'Confirmations'

Hello Terry,

Thank you for your support.

I have already used the QSL manager to update EQSL, Paper QSL, Clublog and others.
Custom is also there, but I don't know yet what the purpose is. Maybe you mean this?

Custom means "make something, make your own settings"?
Maybe I misunderstand this as I cannot find any settings for Custom.

I also saw your 3 videos Confirmations on youtube.
Congratulations with these videos.

This is not what I mean.

An example:
I receive the paper QSL from SWL F-16494 through the Bureau. The SWL-OM heard me in QSO with C31RP.
The QSO with C31RP is in my log.
Now I want to print a QSL label for SWL F-16494 so that I can confirm that the SWL-OM has listened properly.
Via the QSL manager I can of course see the QSO with C31RP.
Question is now, how can I "link" SWL F-16494 to my QSO with C31RP, so that I can send SWL F-16494 a QSL card from Log4OM2?

Hi Patrick,

Log4om does not really support SWL operations, either as a listener or a station receiving a report, there are specialist programs for the SWL.

I just have a label template set up in my Brother roll printer software for responses to SWL reports because there are not great volumes of SWL cards received so a bit of typing is no hardship.

The custom feature is there to cover confirmations for special activities like some awards but is not developed at this time.
