Callsign look-ups from four sources. Settings → Callsign Lookup lists QRZ.com, qrz.ru, HamQTH and callook.info, each with its own tick: every ticked source is asked in that order — the first that knows the station fills the contact, the next ones only what is still empty. qrz.ru, strong on Russian callsigns, uses your own qrz.ru XML API login and is asked only for a callsign you type or a QSO you save yourself; callook.info answers for US callsigns without a login. When QRZ.com's website is slow, the app now says so instead of asking you to check your password. Profiles on the New QSO page: General, POTA, SOTA, WWFF, GMA, Satellite and Contest — and Rover — bring the fields you need to the top, larger, and count your contacts towards a valid activation. Spots from each programme's own service: DX from HamQTH.com's DX cluster feed, GMA's own spots, and WWFF from WWFF Spotline with every park's name. A live spot stays for 3 hours, and when your own spot shows on a programme's list the app tells you once.

Every contact that comes in now fills itself in. Every import — ADIF, CSV and JSON — and every Sync FROM looks up its contacts in full, QRZ.com with its web page and then HamQTH for what QRZ leaves empty, and the QSO Logs list fills in as they come. With no network the look-up waits and carries on by itself. Each contact keeps the date of its last look-up, so Enrich Missing Fields asks only what is due and Force Re-enrich All asks again; a field you empty yourself stays empty. New QSO and Rover Mode take My Grid and My Callsign as they are when you save each contact. DxQSO brings its own LoTW and QRZ confirmations, waits when DxQSO is busy, and clears there a field you empty here. A QSL card shows only the contact's own grid. de A41UX 73

LoTW from this phone with your own certificate, DxQSO as a Sync service, your QSO's comment on its QSL card, worked grids as squares on the map, and a Path picture that leaves your screen alone. LOTW • Sync TO now sends to LoTW itself: it signs your contacts on this phone with your own callsign certificate — the file TQSL saves — exactly as TQSL signs them. Add it in Settings → Logging Services → LoTW; it stays in this phone's secure store, and sending needs no LoTW login. • Each contact is signed with its own My Grid, as TQSL does, or with the certificate's location when it has none. A grid outside your certificate's country is never swapped for another: that contact waits until you correct it. • Before any Sync TO, the LoTW card in Settings says how many waiting contacts can be signed now and why the others wait. They are never sent, never an error, and go once something covers them. • A renewed certificate replaces the old one; a new or upgraded callsign's certificate sits beside the first. After your first Sync TO by hand, Auto Sync sends to LoTW too. DXQSO • Your DxQSO cloud logbook is a Sync service: paste a station token from dxqso.net → Stations (a DxQSO Member account makes one). Sync TO sends your contacts and your edits, a contact you delete here is deleted there, and Sync FROM brings your DxQSO log in. • A key that may only read shows the Test tick amber: Sync FROM works with it, and Auto Sync then only downloads from DxQSO. • If DxQSO passes your contacts on to QRZ or LoTW, send them there one way only, as DxQSO advises. SYNC • A small Auto Sync icon on a service's card when Auto Sync is running for it; hold it to see which way. • Auto Sync downloads from eQSL at most once a day, since eQSL sends its whole inbox each time; Sync FROM by hand downloads whenever you press it. • A card's download line now says what the last download brought: "last download: 33 (0 new)". • With nothing able to download yet, Auto Sync no longer starts one round straight after another while the app is open. QSL CARDS AND THE MAP • The QSL card carries the QSO's Comment under MODE / RST — never your private Notes. • "Show Worked Grids Rectangles" draws each grid square you have worked as a green square of its real size, with its name in yellow; the worked-grid dots are 15% smaller. ALSO • Sharing the Path tab keeps your screen in your own time; the picture is in UTC as before. • Seven SSTV satellites and ERMINAZ-2U (AO-129) fill in a new QSO's satellite details. • On an iPhone, a Bluetooth address typed for rig control gets a plain answer: leave the box empty to find the radio, or type its name. • A question's two buttons are no longer cut off with the largest text on a small phone. 73 de A41UX

What's New in 2.2.0 Extra → Path now reads in your own time. After Check, the hours of the table run from your local midnight and are labelled in your phone's own time, with Local above them, and the sunrise and sunset of the path are in local time too. A picture you share from the top right still shows the table in UTC, as before. de A41UX 73

What's New in 2.1.0 Rig control says what is wrong and stops when only you can fix it, instead of trying again and again. Icom network and Kenwood KNS links take a Network username, and the IC-705 keeps the identity it pairs with (one paired with an earlier version asks to pair once more). FT2 and JTTY are in the Mode list and go in every file and upload as ADIF 3.1.8 defines them. LoTW downloads wait up to 5 minutes for a large log, then ask only for what is new, and a busy LoTW is said in plain words. de A41UX 73

Auto Sync Logs: switch it on in Settings and Ham Logging sends your new, edited and deleted QSOs to your logging services by itself, a few quiet minutes after you log, once each QSO is fully looked up. The callsign look-up fills in the worked grid far more often, with HamQTH.com where QRZ.com has none. Every logging service was checked against its own documentation; deletes now reach QRZ, Club Log, HamQTH, HRDLog and Wavelog. Nine new satellites. de A41UX 73

What's New in 1.4.0 Uploads finish: a contact a service already has counts as there, so the "to upload" count clears on Wavelog, HamQTH and QRZ. Downloads and imports up to 15 minutes off merge instead of doubling. Edits go to Club Log, HamQTH and QRZ; Wavelog and CloudLog's Test reads the server's answer. Settings save themselves. Share the map. New QSO can keep your comment and shows who you worked before. An ADIF button on every QSO card, Share ADIF for LoTW, and a wrong QRZ password is tried once.

GMA the new way, cqGMA log upload with corrections, the name under every reference you type, a map for every spot, APRS messages, four more ways to reach your radio, and your own QSL card background. GMA SPOTS GMA spotting now uses GMA's new interface — the old one answered every spot with an error, so GMA spots from 1.2.0 never arrived. There is no GMA login any more: GMA recognises the app itself. GMA takes live spots only, and a spot to several references goes out as one request. GMA allows one spot request a minute: a spot that finds the minute taken waits, then goes out on its own. CQGMA LOG UPLOAD cqGMA joins the logging services: enter your cqGMA login and Sync uploads every contact that carries a GMA reference — as activator, chaser or summit-to-summit. The New QSO page gains "My GMA" and "GMA Ref", stored in ADIF's standard SIG fields so other loggers read them too. A contact missing something cqGMA needs, such as an RST, is skipped and named — nothing is made up. A contact you edit after uploading is corrected at cqGMA at your next upload; one you delete, or take the GMA reference off, is removed there, and the delete window tells you first. If GMA does not take one contact, the others still go and the report names it. THE NAME UNDER A REFERENCE Type a GMA reference — in the Announce window or on the New QSO page — and a line under the box shows the summit's name from GMA's register; a reference GMA does not know is flagged before the spot goes out. A POTA reference shows the park's name from POTA's register. Under a SOTA reference the name comes from GMA's register and is marked "GMA data". It is a hint, never a block. GMA AND WWFF SPOTS Two new buttons on the Spots page: GMA shows Global Mountain Activity's own live spots and planned activations, WWFF the Flora & Fauna activators GMA lists. SPOTS ON THE MAP Every DX, POTA and SOTA card has a map icon beside the share icon. It opens the Map on that station, with bearing and distance from your QTH. Parks and summits use their own coordinates; a DX cluster position is only a region, and the map says so. With a QRZ lookup login, the tap asks QRZ for the station's own grid instead. RIG CONTROL Four new ways to reach your radio: FLRig, the FlexRadio SmartSDR API, Ten-Tec (Orion, Orion II, Eagle, Argonaut V and VI, Omni VII, Jupiter) and Alinco (DX-SR8, DX-SR9, DX-77). SATELLITES AND LOTW ADIF exports now name satellites the way LoTW expects — SO-125 rather than "HADES-ICM (SO-125)", the TEVEL2 satellites as TEV2-1 to TEV2-9. The catalogue follows the September audit: five satellites added, FO-29, AO-91, Tiangong, Taurus 1 and Lobachevsky corrected, and "ISAT" and "Sparrow" identified as D-STAR ONE iSat and Sparrow. QSL CARDS Pick your own QSL card background in Settings → Default Values: the picture is trimmed to the card once and kept on your phone, and the card's own colours lie over it so the text stays readable in both themes. × goes back to the standard design. APRS MESSAGES The APRS layer on the Map now carries messages: messages to your APRS callsign, on any SSID, arrive with an unread count. To send, add your APRS-IS passcode in Settings under the APRS Call — a number made from your callsign; get yours at apps.magicbug.co.uk/passcode. The APRS-IS server decides whether it is valid: the message screen says so while it checks, and names the callsign if it refuses. Messages are retried until acknowledged, and Ham Logging acknowledges only messages to its own callsign or your callsign with no SSID. SYNC The POTA, SOTA, WWFF and ARRL Contest cards on the Sync page now count and share only their own contacts; they used to share the whole log. The general logbooks still receive every contact. ALSO ADIF import and export keep the name of an activity as well as its reference. POTA and SOTA spot cards line up like DX. The Contests page has a Show box: All, Active or Upcoming. de A41UX 73

Rover Mode now talks to your radio, and a Tropo refresh you can steer. YOUR RADIO, BOTH WAYS Turn the dial and Rover's frequency and mode follow it; set them in the app and the radio follows you. Split is handled properly, so a cross-band contact logs the frequency you transmitted on and the one you listened on. Your radio is never touched while transmitting, whatever you are typing is never overwritten, and a contact always saves exactly what the fields show. HOWEVER YOURS IS WIRED Over the network — rigctld, Icom WLAN, Kenwood KNS, Elecraft K4, or serial over TCP. Straight off the phone — USB, Bluetooth SPP, Bluetooth LE, or an LE-UART bridge. Or passively: point it at the N1MM or WSJT-X listener and it just reads what your desk software already broadcasts, touching nothing. NEW: TCI over WebSocket for Expert Electronics SunSDR2 PRO / DX / QRP and MB1, with no bridge. AROUND 90 RADIOS Icom IC-706 / 746 / 756 / 7-series / 9100 / 910H, Yaesu FT-891 / 950 / 450 / 2000 and the FTDX-1200 / 3000 / 5000 / 9000, the Kenwood TS-450 / 690 / 790 / 850 / 950 line, Elecraft K2 and K4, Xiegu X5105, FlexRadio via SmartSDR CAT, and homebrew uBITX and mcHF. Pick your model and the address, baud and driver fill in for you — each one labelled so you know whether it has been verified on hardware or implemented from the specification. If the radio is off, asleep or out of range nothing breaks: the chip greys out and the app keeps trying quietly in the background. ANNOUNCE AN ACTIVATION, OR SPOT YOURSELF Tell the world you are on the air. From Extra > Spots, announce a planned activation so chasers can diary it, or spot yourself live the moment you are on frequency — to POTA, WWFF, GMA and the DX cluster, in one go. Each programme takes its own optional activation callsign, sent exactly as you type it, slash and suffix intact. Nothing is fired and forgotten: an announcement composed where there is no signal is held and sent when coverage returns, and a tick beside each programme shows exactly what happened to your last post. ALSO IN THIS RELEASE A small antenna button beside TX Frequency grabs the dial and mode in one tap. The Tropo refresh button gets its two gestures back — and no longer reports success when it did not actually refresh. Satellite contacts made through the space station now pass LoTW cleanly. Credentials are stored more defensively on devices whose secure keystore misbehaves. APRS on the map no longer mis-attributes packets relayed by receive-only iGates. de A46UNX 73

Ham Logging v 1.1.1 +5 - What’s New in This Version: Tropo reliability + a Rover heads-up touch. • Tropo (VHF/UHF ducting) map now heals a partial forecast on its own. If part of the area doesn't come down on the first try — say a few map tiles drop on a shaky connection — the app quietly fetches the missing piece once more in the background and fills it in, so those areas no longer linger looking like clear, duct-free air. Quiet conditions (genuinely no ducting) still show as clear, as before. No prompts, nothing to tap. • While you're viewing the Tropo tab, the forecast now refreshes itself in the background once your data ages out, so you pick up a newer model run without leaving and re-opening the tab. It only fetches when something has actually changed — no needless redraws, and it stays quiet when you're offline or already current. • Smoother time-scrubbing on the Tropo map and a lighter network footprint per refresh. • Rover mode: the "worked before" heads-up now leads with the station's country. When you type or dictate a callsign you've worked, its country flag and name appear at the top of the snackbar — read straight from the callsign prefix, with no lookup and no network — and the same flag now marks the callsign in the tap-to-open QSO history list. 73 de A41UX

Rover heads-up, past-QSO history & confirmation status. ROVER MODE • Enter — or dictate — a callsign you've worked before and a quick note shows the date you last worked that station and the band, plus how many times and on which bands across your whole log (e.g. "A41UK last worked 24/06/2026 on 2m. Worked 6 times on 2m and 10m."). Pulled straight from your saved contacts — no lookup, no network needed. • A new history button appears at the edge of the callsign field for worked-before stations. Tap it for a scrollable list of every past QSO with that station — date, time, frequency and band on each line. SYNC — CONFIRMATIONS • LoTW, eQSL and QRZ.com now show how many of your QSOs each service has confirmed (green) versus still pending (orange), with a one-tap Refresh. QRZ reads straight from your logbook — no paid subscription needed. It only updates the confirmed marker; it never adds or edits your logged QSOs. • New QRZ "Request Confirmation" button asks for confirmation of your still-unconfirmed QRZ contacts right from the app — the same as ticking them on the QRZ website. • ADIF import and export now carry QRZ confirmation status, so confirmations follow your log between apps. • Added Mustafa AL Shueili (A41UK) to our Oman testing team credits — with thanks for the reviews and testing. 73 de A41UX

Ham Logging Version 1.0.1 +3 in now live in Stores Sync & reliability • QRZ.com Logbook downloads are now resumable — a large logbook comes down in batches and saves as it goes, so an interrupted download continues right where it left off. • New “Stop & Save” control during a long QRZ download — stop any time and keep everything pulled so far. • Names & grids now fill in automatically in the background after a download. New “Force Re-enrich All” and “Deep Enrich (full)” options in the QSO Logs menu (Deep Enrich adds 6-char grid, county, QSL info, and license class). • Smoother saving of large logbooks — the app stays responsive while it writes. • Callsign lookup is steadier on an unstable connection — a dropped link no longer loses the basic info already retrieved. Propagation & space weather • New “Live (NOAA SWPC)” strip: real-time Kp index + GOES X-ray flare class alongside the 3-hour HamQSL values, colour-coded for fast-moving solar events. • Solar tab: SFI and the K/A magnetic index now read as at-a-glance dial gauges, with the whole tab fitting one screen. • Conditions tab: new “Band Activity by Continent” heatmap — live DX-cluster spot counts per band across EU / NA / SA / AS / AF / OC. • Tropo forecast: steadier background loading at launch — shows the last saved forecast instead of claiming a new one when offline — and Refresh now reports whether it pulled a newer GFS run or you are already up to date. Spots • New “RBN” sub-mode: shows where YOUR callsign has been picked up (Reverse Beacon Network + DX-cluster), last 72 hours, each row tagged with source and how long ago. • New “SOTA” sub-mode: live Summits on the Air activator spots, filter by band/mode or search by summit, callsign, or reference. Logging & map • Manual QSO entry: Date/Time UTC are now tap-to-open pickers that stay put across “Save & Next QSO” for batch back-dated entry; tap the clock icon to snap back to now. • Manual QSO entry: picking a satellite auto-fills TX/RX band + frequency + mode from a built-in catalog of 100+ amateur satellites. • Map: turning off “Show Worked Grids on Map” now hides the worked-grid markers too; grid circles are a touch smaller for a cleaner map. • Map: the info panel now shows a live location row — your saved QTH grid, your current grid (“You are here”), and the distance between them, all updating every second as you move. It tucks away when you tap a worked grid or set a destination. • Grid locators now display in standard Maidenhead case (e.g. LL93jq) — the subsquare letters are no longer shown in all-caps — on the map and in spot details. • APRS map: fixed a crash on a second packet from a station first heard without an internet gateway; toggling APRS off then on reloads stations straight away. Settings • “Reset All App Settings” now keeps your service logins and your QSO log — it only restores preferences. “Delete All Account Data” removes just saved logins and API keys. • Theme, font size, and each service’s on/off switch apply instantly but save only when you tap Save All. 73 de A41UX
