I’ve added locator.clublog.org to Club Log. Using vector not PNG raster tiles for the first time. It seems really great (very sharp text on retina displays even if zoomed). If you need to find your locator, or just want to explore the Maidenhead system, this is a light, easy option with a beautiful map.
The Club Log gateway is a tool developed by G7VJR to enable real-time uploads from three popular networked logging software tools, DXLog, N1MM and Win-Test. It replaces other plugins that upload to Club Log with a more efficient and reliable solution. The gateway is easy to use, and designed for robustness with specific functionality on both ends of the […]
The last few months have been especially busy behind the scenes for Club Log. I’ve spent a lot of time working on low-level details, mainly brought about by the installation of the new server in September.

Club Log supports nearly 130,000 callsigns and stores around 1.25 billion QSOs. Behind the scenes, this requires a huge IT resource to provide a worldwide fast, reliable service.

This firewall is triggered by behaviour that isn’t consistent with a normal user of Club Log, and blocks the originator’s IP address for an extended period of time. […]
It’s been a while since I conducted an analysis of the modes on the air (such as in 2021). One of the reasons is that it’s quite laborious to do the analysis, and I haven’t really expected to be able to reveal something new that would garner attention. However, we are in the era of […]
Club Log uses matching – a system of pairing two QSOs – where both callsigns are in Club Log. The strength of this feature is that it provides a sure confirmation of a QSO, and this match is acceptable for credit in various awards such as IOTA, WIA, DARC and others (but not DXCC). Matching […]
Club Log report on the modes and activity of radio amateurs, dated March 2021
DXers have adopted FT8 to catch openings on the 6m band in the last year in even greater numbers than on HF. With the often sporadic nature of the openings on 6m, it’s easy to see the upsides of all the activity being easy to find in a narrow segment of the band, and of […]
