Tell Log4OM "don't upload DMR QSOs to QRZ, LOTW, etc."

Post by kd7mw »

I like to log enjoyable contacts, especially international ones, even if they are on UHF-to-Internet digital voice. That way I have a record I can look up, including personal notes on the contact, just as I have with conversational HF QSOs. But this creates a problem. I've set up Log4OM to automatically upload all logged QSOs to QRZ, eQSL and (when working) LOTW. Obviously, the "Internet assisted" contacts are not eligible for awards.

This is a conflict between one's log being a personal record vs. being primarily an awards vehicle.

So, my question:
1. Is there a way to tell Log4OM not to upload Internet assisted digital voice to external services, OR
2. Is there a way to tell QRZ, LOTW, etc. to simply reject such contacts?

One alternative is to upload everything manually, skipping the Internet assisted QSOs. But that makes life much more complicated.

Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Just set the confirmation's to 'ignore' while you log the QSO'S

Thanks, Terry. Would I do this in Settings/Program Configuration/Confirmations before operating DMR or D-star? It looks like I should set the "Sent" (and maybe also "Recieve) fields to Invalid (which also means Ignore?) for each service I use, and then set them back to the "default set" afterwards. If I'm not correct, could you refer me to the page in the manual where it's described? Thanks!

While inputting the other stations details in main UI, and before saving the QSO select the Extended (F5) tab and change 'Overide default confirmation settings'
