Re: [Elecraft] How to keep track of grid squares logged?

[Jim Brown]

This is MONDO COOL, Jeff!  Thanks!

Feature request -- how about showing only grids that are still needed?

Re: [Elecraft] How to keep track of grid squares logged?

[David Anderson via Elecraft]

I was going to suggest VQLOG by Gabriel EA6VQ, the same ham that produces the 
wonderful DXMaps spotting website.  

https://www.dxmaps.com/spots/mapg.php

https://www.dxmaps.com/vqlog.html

I have used VQLOG for all my VHF and UHF contacts and it makes keeping track of 
countries, grid squares, awards and so on very easy.   

If you are more than just a casual VHF guy then having a logging program like 
this is needed.

Re: [Elecraft] How to keep track of grid squares logged?

[Ralph Parker]

In addition to DX Atlas and Logger32, I use the paper ARRL grid square 
map, overlaid with directional lines every 30 degrees true, for quick 
antenna pointing. You'll need that when you get your 7el Yagi up.


Yellow highlight for worked, green highlight for confirmed.

After a while, your skip zones become evident.

And it works when the computer is off :-)

Frank,

I downloaded this great tracking tool and filled in my 10 grid squares (so 
far). Long way to 488

I’m replacing my 6 meter ham-stick dipole with a 2-element Moxon next week :)

Re: [Elecraft] How to keep track of grid squares logged?

[Jeffrey Otterson]

Howdy,

I'm using DxLab to log everything, including the grid square, and then
submitting to Logbook of The World for confirmation.  "Worked" does not
mean much to me; what I am interested in is "confirmed."

I built this little toy to map my confirmed squares:

https://www.n1kdo.com/lotw-gridmapper/6mGrids.html

The "toy" sucks down a ADIF file of confirmed 6m contacts from LoTW and
then plots them on Google Maps.  There is no reason why the toy should not
be able to ingest any ADIF file and plot the grids.  The code is all
javascript/css/html and there is a link to the sources on GitHub at the
bottom of the page.

Wayne, I am glad to hear you have discovered the joys of the Magic Band!

On the Mac, RUMlogNG (free) tracks grid squares. Use JT-Bridge to link it to 
WSJT-X.

Log4om will create a google earth view that is pretty cool. 

I just did one last night.  35 grids on ft8 in a week.
