If I were to develop an integration with QRZ to automatically look up the
full names of people associated with a callsign that's getting logged and
populate the name field in the log window, would you be receptive to
receiving and incorporating said patch?
Please advise, and thank y
Dave,
Scheme to populate name field in log: good idea but — you suggest “full
names” where it seems to me “first name” would be sufficient and appropriate.
Comment?

FWIW ... there are plenty of third-party bridge, programs that do this
as do many logging programs. Adding something that requires Internet
access both ways, rather than the PSK Reporter's feed only, may cause
other issues, as well as add on to the support issues often seen here.

You said, "there are plenty of third-party bridge, programs that do this as

Please support your statement with specific examples.
I would like to know which of these run under Linux and directly modify the
file "wsjtx_log.adi" file.
Thank you. Regards

Given the number of cultural differences in naming, it is a
difficult question which name is the given name and which is the
family name.
If it is a Spanish speaker, it is likely that both the father's
and mother's family names will be included in the full name. If
the OP is Hungarian, the gi
It occurs to me that this may also need to be checked the EU General
Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)? It's very wide in effect!

There are many for Windows, and I'm fairly sure that Gridtracker does a
lookup also, and its available for Linux.
As far as modifying the wsjtx_log file, why? Again, you're adding
complexity to the program that is not really needed, and would add to
the support issues seen here.

So many users have so many different tastes that the UI really should be
dedicated to decoding functions vs what are “quality of life” functions. If
you try to sharpen a hammer to make it a knife, you’ll have a mediocre knife
and a terrible hammer.
Just my 2 cents...

I want to agree with Jim N2ADV here - WSJT-X is a great application for
weak signal work. ACLog/Log4OM/RUMLog are great loggers that will tie to
QRZ/HamQTH/a database of US Hams from the FCC's dump/etc, and two of the
three are free (plus CQRLog and other tools). In information systems we're

the core functions and let 3rd party apps do the rest. They are out there.

It does beg the question if there is a use case where someone is not exporting
their ADIF log to a real logging program (or using JT-ALERT to do it for them).
As has been said, I would expect the station logger to have the QRZ, HamCall,

Thank you for such a detailed and thoughtful response.

Hi Bill,
You've been very clear in two separate messages that you're not going to be
accepting any code merges from me for this functionality -- even in a
suggested reduced format. This leaves me with two options (which are not
