Running  program is done by pressing the icon created  on desktop LOOKING_HAM_DATA.exe

 

Screen begin working program  LOOKING_HAM_DATA

Then select the button Load ADIF data from file

Screen where you must choce file to translate

Screen downloading all rows from not limited serwer HAMQTH.COM

After press button on yellow background appear text what desribes function what do button

Context text decribing function do by button

When collecting data, the following principles take effect and there are described on the screen;

1 rule

  

2 second rule The program allows you to download data from the server in three possible ways :

1.Button No. 1 Download the data for all rows This  download data for all rows regardless of whether they are any data or not. If the data in this case originating from a logger is already any data in this  cases  not be overwritten with the data from the server.
2.Button No. 2 Download  data for stations that do not have QTH or QSL_Via . This button is the same as the Button 1 that dea with data download only those stations that do not have any value in the field QTH or QSL_Via QTH. And so it should be used when you want to get data   for the new station
3.Button No. 3 . Download  absolutely all data for the selected rows . The downloaded data will replace the data in the table - except that the server is not given data for this field and in the field for already exists data from logger. Before pressing this button you must  be selected at least one row. Select rows can be done by pressing button

The program, however, behave in this way that  first select  all rows to retrieve, and if there are exists data for this station on a server , then  removes the select for this station. So that  as result we left selected rows to download from another server

 

After pressing button No. 1. our screen may look

Screen after downloading data from not limited
serwer HAMQTH.COM

We see that we still lack data for 8  stations, which have already been selected as having no data on the server HAMQTH.com. . So choose a new server

 

Select another server for downlading selected rows

 

 

Screen after downloading te rest rows from QRZ.COM .
Only one row - station is not present

If a data for station or stations is not sure  we must select rows to  downloads and change the server from you must download again . Next you must initiate downloading  by pressing button

Principles selecting rows have been described on the screen and it is as :

To download the data for stations of your choice you must make a selection of row or rows . You can select single row by left-clicking on it.  If you want to make a selection of multiple rows then you must left-click on rows  for download while pressing the CTRL key .If you want to make a selection of a range then you must select first row, press and hold SHIFT key, and click the last row.

Sometimes we can get on-screen message that we are not  logged into the server  QRZ.COMH or HAMCALL.NET . The server QTHCOM.COM does not require a login

 

Then you must do  login to the server by pressing the button Login to the server.

Edit the field before their final record

Assume that before writing the data we want to edit  some data fields manually. Need to edit  data due to incorrect data in some fields from a data server. If there is such data  for fields QTH  for station  SP9CTS as i &#;WI&#;TOCH&#;OWICE P;  which is an big  mistake. It is a mix of code page Polish Windows 1250 and ISO8852   , and yet for some unknown code . This code gives Logger32 for this station - but specifically the record comes from QRZ.COM. The field can be edited but only  manually by double-clicking the left mouse button in any field. A description of how to edit the described window is present on the screen - the program interface

Suppose that before writing the data we want edit some data in the fields by hand. By default, when you run the program is set to default mode EDIT MODE OFF  This means that clicking on any row causes a row  selection. Therefore, it can not be edited in this mode . To edit a field,  you must switch program to EDIT MODE ON and now when you press the mouse on any field, this gives the possibility to edit the fields

It seems that the entry P.K Trazbon QTH is wrong

After pressing twice the left mouse butto in this field get

Edit this field and press OK

row will be look

Now we can write data to output file  in a format .adiwrite data to output file  in a format .adi if you pres  button   . Next sceren appear

Saving data to output file

Let's see now what was included in the output. Adi

In a input file SP9AUV.adi in a 3-th record we have

We see that the have been added field personal information name  operator, QTH, QSLVia, station address, E-mail, State, County, GRIDSQUARE, Web site address. Now we can use this file to be enter as input .adi file to  the proper logger for example. Logger32, HamRadioDeLuxe or for anothers needs .
