[DogParkList] eqsl and lotw

[John Graf]

I wrote an Applescript to take the current QSO from MacLoggerDX and  
send it to eQSL.   You can download it here:  http://homepage.mac.com/jmgraf/filechute/eQSL_MacloggerDX.zip

It is a little problematic in that I don't think that there is a way  
to get the frequency or band except from the radio (Don, please tell  
me if I am wrong).  What that means is that if you are using a radio  
that does not have rig control, this script will not work.  You must  
invoke the script before you change bands and before you move on to  
the next QSO.

I realize that this is not ideal but it is a start, and a work in  
progress.   I welcome anyone who wants to tweak this script.

LOTW is much harder to do.  As far as I can tell, the TQSL program for  
the Mac is not scriptable.  There may be ways to work around this, but  
it is definitely beyond my capability.

Now, what I think would be a very useful and more of a possibility is  
the ability to check your log against LOTW and mark the QSLs.  This  
should be possible, since you can download the QSL information  
directly from LOTW.   I haven't looked into it enough to figure out if  
this would be a scriptable task or not (perhaps using FileMaker?).   
But it is something in my ever-expanding to-do list.

73,

John, WA6L
