[NLRS] Logging software

[KB0DCO Thomas]

Hey Gang,

I have not been on here well over a decade!

Looking to get my all mode radio in operation in my mobile again here soon.
I have an iPad and looking for free logging software, but have not had much
luck in the App Store.

So I might have to create one from scratch in an Excel spreadsheet app. Has
anyone else try to create a logbook in excel spreadsheets? I’m looking to
do this mainly in the mobile on my iPad… which to me seems to be the best
device choice to use for me.

I decided to download N3FJP, ARRL Contest Logs, VHF/UHF.  I was trying to
search for the name of contests I used to do years ago working multiple
bands. Which was 6M, 2M, 70CM (432) exchanging Grid Squares, Callsigns, and
Signal Reports. Getting multiplier points for working one station on those
3 bands. (I always used to call it the Six Meters to Light contest. And I
knew it was in the winter time…. February maybe?) as far as I knew it was
an ARRL contest. Then there was the mono band contests too. Which I did
from home for the VHF Sweepstakes, (I think it was sweepstakes? Not sure.)
UHF Sweepstakes (432-440) not sure if there was one for 6M or not. And I
think there was one for 220, but I do not have the equipment for that band.

So I just recently downloaded Grid Tracker and trying to figure that one
out yet. Since I was looking for a software to keep track of all the grid
squares I log for my satellite and 6M and VHF/UHF contests.

So the software I am trying to look for will handle multiple things.
Such as:

Satellite contacts
6 Meter contacts
Field Day contacts
MN QSO Party contacts
6M to Light Contests contacts

I have yet to look into and figure out about Log Book Of The World and
EQSL. So then all of my contacts get uploaded online so everyone can see
them. I have been trying the logbook on QRZ, to me there something not
working correctly on it. I tried to send a request from the person I had
the QSO with to confirm it. But keep getting error messages like:


1 records skipped.

O records successfully requested confirmation.


You have requested confirmation for the following QSOs in your logbook,.

Unfortunately the records listed below were not requested for the following
reasons:

Cannot Request Confirmation for Assisted Contact

I put in all the data and save it. Which is really the only part that
works.
The star should be yellow once it is confirmed. But yet have not seen one
yet. In the past, when I worked Satellites about a decade ago… I used to
get QSL cards within a week of the contact. Now I guess everyone went to
doing digital QSL Cards… So if anyone can help me with me for portable
logging and  from home logging would be greatly appreciated.
