TWLOG
Twlog records basic Ham log information. It was writen for day to day
logging, not contesting. There are no dup checks or contest related
features. Well, you could say it's getting closer to dup checking.
The Twlog log editor uses the Xbae Matrix Widget, as shown below. It is
not included in a lot of linux distro's. To compile and install it,
download the xbae-4.60.4 source from
here.
-
Automatic call search - when you enter a call (at least 2 characters) into the Call box, the logfile is searched and matches are displayed in another window.
-
The log editor has a new Matrix window and the logfile has a new format. Tools are provided to convert version 1.x logfiles to the new format.
-
A popup menu was added to the main window. It has buttons for the more commonly used functions.
-
A Clear button was added to the File menu. It lets you clear all of the
fields in the log entry form.
-
Twlog provides the current station's call to other programs. The call
entered in the Call box can be read and used by other programs - currently this works with twpsk, and twcw.
-
A resource file allows you to customize the menus (Band, Mode, Power) for
the bands and modes that you work.
-
Most of the log entries and operations can be made with a button press or
a single key stroke.
-
The data fields include the date, start and end times, call sign, band,
mode, power, and signal reports. There is also a field for general notes.
The log editor is shown below at about one half normal size.
The window for the call search is similar.
