[DogParkList] eqsl and lotw

[John Graf]

Thanks for the message -- I am glad that it worked!

Yes, when I created the script I got carried away and added that QRZ  
lookup to the script.  If you want to, you can get rid of that fairly  
easily.

What you want to do is open the script in script editor as you have  
been doing.  Then you will "comment out" three lines in the script.   
This means that you will add two dashes "--" in front of the lines.   
This has the effect to telling your computer to ignore the lines.

Here is what the end of the script will look like after you comment  
out the lines:

tell application "Safari"
	activate
	set target_URL to eQSLurl
	make new document at end of documents
	set URL of document 1 to target_URL
	-- close document 1
	
	--set target_URL to qrz_URL & item 1 of eQSLqso
	--make new document at end of documents
	--set URL of document 1 to target_URL
	
end tell

As you can see, I added the "--" to the last three lines before the  
"end tell"

Once you do this, you can hit the compile or the run button on top,  
then save your changes.  QRZ should no longer pop up.  The lines will  
remain in the script and if you (or someone you give the script to)  
wants to bring the functionality back, you just remove the "--" from  
the lines and compile again.

NOW -- about how to run these scripts.

There are several ways to do it, but probably the easiest is to put  
them in your scripts folder.   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.

Good Luck and 73,

John
