BEST WAY FOR LOGS FROM DXPEDITIONS


Greg
 

Hi Dave,

 

I have a couple of Carribean licenses with their foreign callsigns plus I operated as J3/N9GB.  Given that I could apply for different awards for the foreign permanent callsigns and the portable callsigns (versus my awards for N9GB), and wish to separate QSO/QSL should I create a new separate log for these callsigns or should I include these as part of my normal N9GB log with different myQTH’s, operator, and station callsigns?  It seems to me that it could get confusing unless I create separate logs for the foreign and portable callsigns.  If I am creating separate logs, is there a way to copy the N9GB log as a “template” and modify only the fields that make sense.  Any other hints or suggestions regarding doing this?

I believe best practice would be to have a separate log database for each DXCC entity.

+ Agree. DXKeeper assumes that all QSOs in a log were made from the same DXCC entity.
