QSO - A simple logging program for amateur radio
QSO is a simple, command line, logging program for amateur radio.
Commands:
add Add an entry
ammend Change the last entry
clear Remove the database
config Print the current configuration
dump Dump the database contents as a csv
eqsl Upload new QSOs to eqsl.cc
export Print adif formatted log entries
previous Show previous QSOs with the given callsign
print Print the database contents
rescue Re-build the database from a specified CSV file (see dump)
search Search for a callsign in the database
shell Run a python shell with access to the database
The shell command allows the user to programatically manipulate the
database. To generate maps like the one shown below (from OK2PBQ's qso map)
a list of locators worked is required. Generating this list with the
shell is simple:
QSO Shell: db is the log database.
>>> "\n".join(r.location for r in db.ptr if r.location is not None and len(r.location) == 6)
The user can also modify the database from the shell, e.g. to change all records with the mode PSK
to have the mode PSK31:
QSO Shell: db is the log database.
>>> records = db.ptr.select_for_update(mode='PSK')
>>> for record in records:
... r.update(mode='PSK31')
>>> db.ptr.commit()
qso can communicate with a hamlib RPC server take mode and frequency
information directly from the transceiver. For those keen on digimodes, qso
can communicate with fldigi to extract logging information and
pre-populate fields. If data is available from fldigi and hamlib then recent
fldigi data takes priority.
qso allows the simple upload of logged QSOs to eQSL with the
comamnd eqsl. The eQSL username is assumed to be identical to the
configured callsign, and no passwords are stored.
