So far, there are contact fields for the logging station's transceiver, antenna and power. In local contacts, it is quite common to not only log these information for "my station", but also for the station I'm contacting with. I'm current logging these information into the "Remark" field, but it's not structured so not easy for parsing.

Therefore, it would be nice to have the 3 fields added to the contacts, and it would be even nicer if they could be added as a line via the "activity editor" so I could create a layout with these fields.

I understand that these 3 fields are not in the ADIF specification, so it would not be directly able to export them. I suppose that user-defined fields can be used (presumably with a qlog_ prefix to avoid future conflicts if those fields were added officially) for exporting into ADI, ADX and JSON.

TNX & VY73.

  • contacting station transceiver can be save is the field RIG - QLog supports it but it is not a field in the GUI. no problem to added it to QLog
  • contacting station power is already present in QLog as a GUI field 'RCVPwr" - you can add it via the Activity Manager
  • contacting station antenna - as you wrote, there is no ADIF field and I do not want to introduce "application"-specific tag to QLog. More discussion about Antenna support to ADIF here. Ideally, you can use REMARK for it.
