A message from the founders

Dear readers,

Every great competition celebrates those who stand on the highest step of the podium.

The world of radio, however, has taught us something different.

Here, there isn't a single champion. Every day, in every corner of the world, thousands of amateur radio enthusiasts chase their own goals: a new DXCC, a band never worked, a contest, a new antenna, an impossible QSO that becomes a reality.

The true victory is to continue improving, learning, experimenting, and sharing one's passion.

For over thirty years, this has been the spirit accompanying EasyLog.

Being alongside radio amateurs, offering increasingly advanced tools to help them achieve their goals, whatever they may be.

Because, in the end, the most important title isn’t the one engraved on a trophy.

It is the satisfaction of every successful connection, every milestone achieved, and the passion that continues to accompany us, day after day.

73, and Good DX!
IK1TZO Pietro and IW1DGL Franco

Perfection is unattainable, but

if we chase perfection we can catch excellence.

— Vince Lombardi

New Renewal Page

Renewing EasyLog is even easier

The new renewal page has an even simpler and more intuitive structure. We have redesigned the renewal engine and right away, we are able to offer different renewal options (we have added the 24-month renewal option) and more will follow in the future.

The process is even more straightforward and transparent, allowing you to check support status, expiration, bonuses, the number of renewal months depending on the selected option, and updates of the latest release compared to the one you currently have. Payment and renewal are now even more efficient and faster, with the addition of a confirmation email sent directly to the user's email.

Tips & Tricks

Using DX-Cluster Filters

Band

In the band panel, you can select all the bands or only the bands you are interested in. Disable the bands you do not operate to avoid DX-Spots on those bands.

Modes

Similarly to bands, select only the modes you are interested in, so DX-Spots of unselected modes will not be shown.

Spotted by

To avoid receiving DX-Spots spotted by remote stations that you likely cannot hear, particularly significant on some bands, you can remove continents: DX-Spots spotted by stations from those continents will not be displayed.

DX Spot Status

Decide if you want to see only the NewOne, also include unconfirmed worked ones, and if you want to show confirmed ones as well.

Check DXSpot in

EasyLog manages up to 5 Logs simultaneously, so it is necessary to specify which Log to refer to for spot coloring, that is, to which DXCC situation of which Log to refer to. Only one Log can be selected, the selection is exclusive.

LoTW

If you check the box Only LoTW, only the spots related to DX stations registered with LoTW will be displayed.

Click Apply to save the filter selection. From that moment on, the new filters will be applied.

How to Upload Photos

On the homepage, at the bottom right of the new scroller, click the Login button and enter your credentials to access the Reserved Area. The Upload button will appear. Click Upload and select the photo to upload.

Move the blue slider below by sliding it left or rightto adjust the size of the selection box and/or move it to the desired position on your photo and finally confirm the upload by clicking the blue button Confirm and Submit for Approval.

Wait for our staff to approve the photo. The photo will go live automatically after approval.

Only registered users with active support can upload photos, and uploads are subject to approval by our staff.

Soon it will be possible to vote for the most beautiful station photos, and we will award the most voted ones.

Each user can upload up to 3 photos of their station or their QSL - at least one must show EasyLog active on the monitor and their callsign overlaid or visible on a plaque near the monitor.
