Navigation:  AWARD_SECRETARY project and its purpose > Numbering QSL by label as a quick way to find the QSL for awards > Cooperation of AWARD_SECRETARY with Logger32 when numbering QSL cards

This is where you must choice a field through which will be passed data number QSL cards from Logger32 to a table  QSOS_AWARDS in AWARD_SECRETARY.  All  loggers what is compatible to ADIF standard , have definied  field USER_1 to USER_N. These boxes are intended for use by the user . Exception field USER_4 field, which is use  by AWARD_SECRETARY, you can use any other fields in order to pass QSL No to AWARD_SECRETARY. Often, these fields are called USERDEF.

This description is given basis of Logger32, where for passing number qsl card to AWARD_SECRETARY was choised field USER_1. We must first configure Logger32, for name  the entry field for No QSL

 

Starting configuration Logger32 to transmit number QSL to AWARD_SECRETARY

The screen to transfer fields USER1 and IOTA to a new positions of fields, to be better visible

Moving field USER_1 to a new location so that it is visible and can quickly enter into a  new  value

Changing name description field from USER_1 to NO_QSL_CARD

In Logger32 we get the look for the window Loogbook. It should be added that during the process of entering NR_QSL_CARD . and approval QSO as received QSL card is good also  look at the card , if it  contains an entry for the IOTA and add or correct this field in the logger

Appearance corrected windows Logbook for Logger32

Now I will show you how to enter into  Logger32 NO_QSL_CARD when you receive a QSL card and you want to select the QSL , that was received .

I received a such QSL card from the VE3UTT

QSL card received from station VE3UTT

Now you need to enter into Logger32 fact that the QSL card was received. It is here common card for many QSOs. Peel off the printed sheet labels with numbers QSL subsequent  label such for examp No 6001 , and  glue it in a blank area of the QSL's . Such sticking have been agreed with the Polish DXCC-Checker .  .After stuck sticker on the QSL it looks

In a Logger choice Search QSO

Then we put  VE3UTT as a searched calsign  and get

The resulting effect of searching the station VE3UTT

Entered QSL  card numbers and No for order QSO

Now we have to point out that for each QSO was received QSL card

Marking for the QSO the paper QSL has been received

The end result selection for all QSO and QSL card has been received

When we get QSL card for a single QSO - then we insert into the logger only QSL card number, but without the ordinal number of QSOs on the card , for example. 6002.

Now it remains to configure AWARD_SECRETARY that it will be knew in a what  ADIF field will be present  No QSL cards . Not always a field is named  USER_N, Let's look what  producing Logger32 for their QSO

QSOS with entered NO_QSL_CARD

Now let's look at what produces Logger32 in his file ADIF

The name APP_LOGGER32_USER_1 under which Logger32 places No QSL cards This name should be given in a config file for AWARD_SECRETARY

Now remains to configure AWARD_SECRETARY in this way , to take the name APP_LOGGER32_USER_1 from adif file . So you must  call the configuration of personal data

Configure AWARD_SECRETARY  to adopt QSL number in the name of which is produced in a ADI file

For other loggers as HRD, MixW, DXKeeper, you need to choose what field of USERDEF is available in a adif file , and in this field enter No QSL card when marking that the QSL card was received. Of course, you also need to configure AWARD_SECRETARY

The end result of entering QSL card numbers may look like
