A message from the founders

Dear friends,

 

As spring arrives, it stirs something timeless within us: the urge to tune into the unseen, reconnect, and uncover the messages the world holds for us.

Spring symbolizes fresh starts. Nature awakens, and our minds open to new possibilities. It’s also the perfect moment to express our gratitude: for 40 issues, you have journeyed with us with passion, curiosity, and trust.

 

This season, we are taking things even further. Fresh ideas are blossoming, new features are emerging, all with the same purpose: to guide you, make things simpler, and communicate — in every way possible.

 

To all of you who share our love for the magic of subtle signals and meaningful connections: happy spring. May your paths be clear and your beginnings radiant.

 

With gratitude and excitement,
Franco & Piero

Tips & Tricks

­

The checkboxes of the Log selector.

EasyLog manages up to 5 Logs simultaneously, each with its own independent awards management, LoTW, and eQSL.

­ ­ ­
­ Il selettore del Log ­
­ ­ ­

Next to the Log selector, there are two selection checkboxes.
If the upper checkbox is ticked, all Log tabs will be displayed, regardless of whether they contain open Logs or not.
If the checkbox is unchecked (as shown in the image below on the right), only the tabs with open Logs will be shown.
This is especially useful when resizing the Log area or when using screens with limited video resolution.

­

The second checkbox controls the display mode of the cursor, which allows navigation between QSOs and between fields within the Log area.

­ ­ ­
­ Il selettore del Log ­
­ ­ ­

If the second checkbox is ticked, the cursor is displayed as a single bar; to scroll to the right, you’ll need to use the mouse and the scroll bar.
If the checkbox is unticked, the cursor becomes a single cell (field), and scrolling can be done by using the keyboard arrow keys until the view shifts to the right or left.

­

What is the meaning of the colors in the Log area?

We are revisiting this topic because some users have recently expressed doubts about its interpretation.

­ ­ ­
­ Row colors on Log area ­
­ ­ ­

The colors in the Log area represent the QSL status of the QSOs. The following legend details their meaning:

  • QSO confirmed only with a paper QSL and QSL not sent.
  • QSL received via LoTW.
  • Paper QSL sent, but neither paper QSL nor LoTW confirmation received.
  • Paper QSL sent and received, but LoTW confirmation not received.
  • QSL received only via LoTW.

Readers' Testimonials

"This evening I read the guide on FT8 and FT4 that I purchased for 10 euros. Although I have been using this technology for a long time, I must say that the manual is really well done and absolutely essential for beginners: clear, comprehensive, and capable of explaining all the fundamental aspects.

 

Even for those, like me, who already have experience, it still offers some interesting technical insights, with small useful tips to verify and explore further. Overall, I believe the 10 euros were well spent. The only suggestion I feel like giving would be to expand the section related to spectrum configuration and perhaps integrate information on emerging new software, especially those used in expeditions.

A guide I truly recommend to anyone interested in these digital modes!

User Testimonials

"Perhaps not everyone knows that the Easylog Team is a sponsor of the IY4FGM Marconi commemorative station that broadcasts from Villa Griffone, and the station's log is managed through Easylog. As the QSL manager of the station, I have been using it for many years to respond to the QSLs requested from us worldwide. Thanks again to Pietro Paolo and his Team.

Extremely user-friendly compared to others, effortlessly prints labels and on QSL (simple to set up), and support is always responsive and attentive if any issues arise.

I have been using EasyLog since its inception, you could say since its early days. A friend introduced it to me back in 1989 when they had just purchased it, and I immediately found it user-friendly, well-designed, and straightforward. Of course, it was still in its early stages with fewer features compared to today, but it showed great potential. I recall the Pirrone brothers being inundated with calls for assistance or guidance, and I must sincerely acknowledge their kindness, expertise, and patience with everyone; they truly deserve recognition for that.
Since then, I’ve continued using EasyLog, though not all of its features. For instance, I don’t use antenna pointing or some minor functionalities. I was highly satisfied with the automatic QSO logging in FT8 and other digital modes from WSJT, but I was particularly impressed by the two latest features introduced by the Pirrone brothers. The first is the instant sending of courtesy QSLs, and the other is the cloud saving, which makes it easy to update logs across multiple computers.
Kudos to the Pirrone brothers, and I hope they continue supporting this fantastic program.


73 to everyone from I1YHU Gianni

This is an excellent product, user-friendly, and requiring minimal customization. I truly value Franco's dedication to keeping it updated with the latest technologies used daily. I hope future updates include eQSL management for confirmations from this system, enabling the handling of Diplomas like AMERICAN COUNTIES, which are challenging to obtain since LOTW confirmations are currently excluded. I also want to express my gratitude to Franco for his commitment over the years in keeping this program updated and addressing the minor issues that arise due to the complexity and volume of data involved. THANK YOU!!!!
