How to keep track of grid squares logged?

Administrator

Hi all,

On 6 m, everyone uses grid squares when reporting their QTH. Is there a web tool or spreadsheet available somewhere that allows you to conveniently keep track of which ones you’ve worked?

Thanks,
Wayne

I just used a paper map and a highlight marker. This worked infallibly
right up to the senior moment when I put the map in the shredder.

Log4om will create a google earth view that is pretty cool.

I just did one last night. 35 grids on ft8 in a week.

DXKeeper, the logging component of DXLab, allows realtime tracking of VUCC.

I do about the same, but haven't shredded it. Yet. :) I make a single
diagonal mark when I work the grid, and make it an X when it's confirmed.

As of last night, I've worked 130 grids this season, and I just worked a
few more this morning. This map is great for showing 6M activity -- it
shows spots for the last 60 minutes. Clicking on MUF ES will show
locations of active Es regions.

KPA 1500 feature

Hi All, just a thought,
I saw a KPA1500 in FHN the other week but forgot to look behind the psu.
What would have been nice is a 12v output to power the K3. This would
make it all integrated.
I feel sure the extra space required would be minimal and rear panel
space for connectors ...well there must be plenty of room unless some
pesky fan got in the way?
