[DogParkList] eqsl and lotw

[John Graf]

Sure!

The easiest way is to put this script in one of your script  
libraries.  Click on the Finder, and go to your home folder (the  
folder with the same name as your user account).  Then find the  
'Library' folder.  Within the Library folder is  a folder called  
'Scripts.'  Put the script in there.

Create a log entry in MacLoggerDX.  Now, you can click on the  
Applescript icon that should be in your menu bar.  It looks like a  
scroll.  Then from there, you can click on the script that you  
previously put in the folder, and it should execute.

Make sure you change the lines in the Applescript that have your eQSL  
username (call) and password.  Otherwise it won't work.

Let me know if you have any problems with this . . .

73,

John, WA6L
