Logs On A Map

When used with a GPS, CQ/X can be set up to log the coordinates of each QSO in a file separate from the QSO log. Once the QSO party is over, and the log submission deadline is past, this log can be used to create a unique searchable view of the mobile operation showing the map location from which each QSO was made. Creation of a log on a map for your operation is described briefly on the features page and in more detail in the Help file.

Here are links to some examples from the operations of NO5W/M over the last several years. Choose an operation and search for your call to see where we were when we worked you. This capability was introduced in Patch 177-06 so you will need a system patched to 177-06 or a later version in order to create the KML files for publishing your own logs on a map, and be sure to have CQ/X keep a GPS QSL file so that when you get back you'll have the necessary data.
