- The Blue light on the left flashes as spots come in on the connected cluster.
- The light to the right of it flashes green when a call looked up has been worked previously (flashes red if unconfirmed).
If you click on this light while it is flashing it will take you to the Log Panel and display all your previous QSOs with this station. - The bearing (short and long path) and distance to the call looked up.

QSL Image Panels
Immediately under the Radio/Rotor panels and to the right of the DX/Contest panels are the QSL Image panels. With each lookup that station's QSL Image (or country flag if your Call Book does not support QSL Images) is displayed. Subsequent look ups will shift the QSL images from the QSL Image panel on the left over to the other QSL Image panels. The number of QSL Image panels visible will depend on how much monitor real estate you have available for the MacLoggerDX window.

If the click on the call sign in the DX de text field it will look up the DX de spotter's call sign.
Locator
The Locator field in the DX and Contest Panels will tell you what Geolocation method MacLoggerDX has used for each lookup:
MacLoggerDX resolves all call signs to the DXCC country level using the data published in the ARRL Operating guide: 'Locator: Country'.
Then it resolves specific prefix based locations - 'Locator: Call'.
QRZ, HamCall or WM7D.net lookup may provide a zip code which can be resolved with the US census zip to post office latitude and longitude data 'Locator:Zip'.
If the city is known and found the latitude and longitude can be resolved: 'Locator: City'.
If the call is in your log, that location data is found in a lookup 'Locator: Log GS'.
If QRZ, HamCall or WM7D.net Internet Lookup is enabled and if there is a grid square or Latitude and Longitude data provided on the Internet this will be used: 'Locator: iNet GS', 'Locator: iNet LL', this is usually the most accurate since the operator has provided this data himself.
Editing the Grid or SOTA fields after a Lookup and before logging will update the distance and bearing.
RSTS/RSTR
MacLoggerDX keeps 2 separate sets of persistent values. When you manually change the radio mode or auto tune changes it MacLoggerDX chooses one set based on the mapped mode. If the mapped mode contains 'SB', AM', or 'FM', then one set is displayed and the other set is used for everything else. When you edit either set the new value is stored for that mode.
If your radio is in CW mode and you enter 599 that will be stored and reloaded the next time the radio is in CW, or RTTY etc.
If your radio is in USB mode and you enter 59 then that will be stored and reloaded the next time the radio is in SSB, AM, FM etc.
This all happens automatically - you just have to enter the values and they will be remembered.
We use the mapped mode so that if your radio is in USB but you have that mapped to a digital mode then the 599 set will be used.
You can also use the qso_was_logged.scpt to reset RST after each QSO. Restore RST (K5TXT).scpt from the download Extras folder (instructions in the script comments).
Email/URL
The Email and URL fields display the looked up call's email address and personal web page/bio if available after a lookup.
Clicking in the Email field and pressing return will compose an email to that address in your default mail client.
Clicking in the URL field and pressing return will cause your default web browser to display that URL.
Note: The QRZ Bio url includes a session key so it is not saved in the log.
Buttons
Look Up Performs a look up on the call sign entered in the 'Call' field. MacLoggerDX first resolves the dxcc country identity with an internal lookup of prefixes, dxpeditions and exceptions, then performs a lookup with which ever call book service you have selected in the Look Up Prefs.
The internal prefix, dxpedition, skcc and exceptions databases are updated when you select 'Update Internet Files' from the File menu, or automatically at midnight and when you start MacLoggerDX if you have selected Check for Updates in the Station Prefs.
Previous switches to the Log Panel and searches for previous contacts based on the Call entered.
Time On Sets the Time On in the log to the current time (The default is the look up time)
Time Off Sets the Time Off in the log to the current time (The default is the logged time)
Log QSO Logs whatever information is displayed in the DX or Contest panel fields to your current log.
Changes to the QSO after it has been logged must be made in the Log panel.
Beam If a rotor controller is connected rotates the beam to the currect heading (displayed just above the 'Call' field)
R If a rotor controller is connected rotates the beam to the reverse heading.
Stacking:The stacking register is a scratch pad to quickly make note of something you were tuned to so that you can tune back in a few minutes. It saves the frequency call sign and split.
+ Adds the current call and VFO Frequency to the stacking popup.
Stacking popup - Select any entry to set the call (which will trigger a lookup), VFO frequency and split from the stack. Selecting Edit from the popup will allow you to re-order, edit and delete entries.
Most of these button actions are replicated in the menus and can have keyboard equivalents.
Contest Panel
The Contest Panel is optimized for data entry during casual contesting.
You can TAB quickly from field to field and TAB to reverse the tabbing direction or use the Log menu commands FocusCall Sign, Clear Log Fields and Log QSO and Clear Fields to return focus to the call sign. You can also set your own keyboard shortcuts for any of these commands. When you log the QSO Time On and Time Off are set.
Macloggerdx 5 57 – Auto Dx Radio Tuner Amplifier
A complete exchange can be completed with a few tabs and then a keyboard shortcut to log the QSO clear the fields and start again with the non-persistant fields cleared.
The Call Sign field automatically up-cases your typing and will do a lookup when you tab out of the field.
The Call Sign field will flash red if the call is already in your log as you type.
Make sure you are logging the correct exchange data during the contest so that CabConverter will be able to process the MacLoggerDX ADIF file into a Cabrillo file for submission. How to get excel.
There are detailed instructions for each contest included with the CabConverter program.
There is an Introduction video showing how to install and use CabConverter.
CabConverter was written by Scott (NE1RD) and is supported by Scott (NE1RD), David (M0XDF), and Rich (AB1HD).
It is important to set up before the contest because CabConverter does all the heavy lifting creating the Cabrillo file.
MacLoggerDX provides the logged QSO exchange data via the exported ADIF file but it is CabConverter that processes the QSOs according to the contest recipe, so the exchange data needs to be logged in MacLoggerDX in the way that CabConverter is expecting it.
Contest Prefs
You can show or hide Contest Panel Fields and Labels based on the Contest Prefs check boxes.
The Contest ID popup in the Contest Prefs is loaded from the contest_id.dat file in the ~/Documents/MLDX_Logs/data_files/ folder. You can customize that file and place it in the top level MLDX_Logs folder if you want to override the defaults. The contest ID you select is used in the CONTEST_ID field of each QSO logged and is remembered in your Prefs between sessions.
The Map Rcvd popup in the Contest Prefs will automatically fill in some log fields based on the Rcvd field (SRX_STRING).
Look Up
A Look up is triggered when a call sign is entered in the DX Panel or the Contest Panel and return is pressed or you tab out of the Contest Call Sign field. How much is minecraft pc edition. A look up also occurs automatically if a DX Spot comes in on the DX Cluster and Auto Lookup is enabled, or if you triple click on a DX Cluster spot, double click on a History Panel list item or double click on a 2D or 3D Map item or click on a Bands Panel entry.
Look Up Previous in the Log menu will do a look up of the call and also show a list of previous QSOs in the Log panel.
The Suggest IOTA check box will suggest IOTA values based on the geolocation of the call sign in the absence of call book IOTA data or DXCluster comments which are always used.
The Suggest CQ Zone check box will suggest CQ Zone values based on the call sign in the absence of call book CQ Zone data which is always used. Supplied by Club Log cty.xml.
The Suggest ITU check box will suggest ITU values based on the call sign in the absence of call book ITU data which is always used. Should Be Verified in QSO.
How MacLoggerDX determines IOTA, ITU and CQ Zones
- If the data is contained in the QRZ or HamCall lookup, MacLoggerDX assumes it to be correct and uses it. DXCluster spot comments may also define IOTA references.
- If you have Suggest IOTA, Suggest ITU Zone or Suggest CQ Zone enabled MacLoggerDX will try and determine them from the prefix.
- If you have previously logged the call and the Call Book values are blank MacLoggerDX will assume that the logged data is correct and use it for the new QSO. (This does not apply to SOTA references since one call sign can be associated with numerous SOTA activations over time).
If the call is in the log, the logged First Name will override the call book first name and will be displayed in italics.
With portable call signs there is no algorithmic way to ensure the correct zones are logged. If the station you are logging has not included his zone data in QRZ or HamCall then you must verify while in QSO or not log the zone data.
The Include Comments check box will include comments from the call book server and the dx cluster spot.
Principal 51 license. The Local Filter text edit box will set the distance away from you that spotters reports will be filtered out if you check the Local filter in the DXClusters Panel.
The Call Book popup determines which call book service is to be used for look ups.
Make sure to set your Call Book to None in the Lookup Prefs if you are contesting unassisted.
If you are having a problem with your look ups, please check your Look Up Preferences to make sure your call book service is selected in the Call Book popup.
If this is set to 'None' cached lookups and your log will provide some stored data for some calls but lookups for totally new calls will only provide DXCC info.
How MacLoggerDX determines QSL Via
- If the data is contained in the Callbook lookup, MacLoggerDX assumes it to be correct and uses it.
- Otherwise, if the call is in the ARRL list (LoTW uploads in the last year) MacLoggerDX will indicate it with 'LoTW.' (blue in Spots panel).
The Local Time Server popup will show the local time of the QSO looked up in the DX Panel Local field. The accuracy of this time depends on the accuracy of the location data for the call looked up.
- No Local Time - No local time lookup or cache retrieval is done and the Local field in the DX Panel remains blank.
- Local Time Zone - Local time and GMT offset for station's location.
- GeoNames - The GeoNames.org server will be used to determine the local time.
- Sunrise/Sunset - Local calculation of Sunrise, Sunset times and time to next Sunrise/Sunset.
- Local Weather - The World Weather server and Forecast.io will be used to determine the local weather).
Live lookups require an internet request to the geonames.org server so you may want to turn this option off if the dxcluster is busy and you have Auto Lookup enabled. A '.' after the date and time indicates that the time zone has been estimated from the longitude. After a change in Daylight Saving time it may take a few days for the caches to catch up and the local time displayed could be off by an hour.
Lookup Sequence
MacLoggerDX separates the call into prefix/base call/suffix and then resolves all call signs to the DXCC country level using the data published in the ARRL Operating guide subject to special issue call overrides in it's internal dxpedition database and discards non identifying prefixes and suffixes like 'MM' etc.
Then a lookup is done in the user selected call book QRZ, HamCall, WM7D or QRZ CD ROM and in the case of the QRZ XML Service a QSL Image is downloaded, cached and displayed. You need a username and password for the QRZ XML subscription service distinct from your QRZ.com username and password.

You can make the Web QRZ - Look Up on WWW sub-menu a keyboard short cut - F14 (or any other key combination) which will take you to the QRZ web page for the current call sign, with one keystroke.
You can also use Web HamCall, QRZCQ etc.
DXCC Prefix update process
MacLoggerDX resolves all prefixes to DXCC country using internal databases for mapped, exception, ambiguous and dxpedition call signs. Using a customized version of MacLoggerDX, we lookup all dxcluster spots world wide continuously and compare MacLoggerDX's prefix result against QRZ and HamQTH DXCC Lookup.
If a discrepancy is found we compare the call sign with Club Log's historical data to determine if the prefix is mapped correctly or is an exception.
Sometimes MacLoggerDX is wrong, sometimes QRZ is wrong, sometimes HamQTH DXCC is wrong and sometimes the DXCC has changed (as with non-continental U.S. stations moving to the mainland or some European/Asiatic/Kaliningrad Russian stations since 2010 etc.). We review the results daily and If MacLoggerDX is incorrect we update the internal database files and and upload them to our server.
At Midnight (if left running), or the next time you run MacLoggerDX, if Check for Updates is enabled in the Station prefs or you select Update Internet Files from the File menu, your copy of MacLoggerDX will be updated to reflect the change in future lookups.

If you have logged a call with incorrect DXCC name or numeric value - set the DXCC numeric ID to 0, clear the DXCC Country field to blank and then Update Selected Log Entries with the new call and the new DXCC and DXCC Country will be entered automatically. This will never overwrite existing data - only fill in empty string or zeroed numeric fields.
Please note that MacLoggerDX maintains a mapping to current DXCC entities - if your log contains a QSO with a DXCC entity which has changed or been deleted in the past or a special event prefix which is only valid for a short period of time, you may have to edit the DXCC fields manually.
If you find a call that maps to a different DXCC than the operator identifies with or receive an error from one of the online log books please let us know so that we can update our databases. Make sure to correct the DXCC name and ID in your Log since incorrect log entries may confuse future lookups.
Look Up prefs
Call Book prefs
Some Call Books require a username and password which you can set in the appropriate Call Book tab. Make sure you choose the Call Book you want to use with the Call Book popup.
Online Log books
Logged QSOs can be automatically uploaded when logged (Club Log, LoTW, eQSL, QRZ Logbook and HRDLOG), or Individual QSOs can be uploaded and confirmations requested (LoTW and eQSL) in the Log menu or the Log panel contextual (right-click) menu.Only Log books that you enter preferences for will be enabled in these menus.
Multiple QSOs can be selected for signing and uploading to LoTW but if you have a lot of QSOs to upload you should export them as one ADIF file and use the tqsl app to sign and upload it. Likewise, if you have a large number of QSOs to upload to the eQSL, QRZ, or HRDLOG logbooks, export them first to an ADIF file and upload that file to the logbook web interface.
If QSO upload or confirmation errors occur, MacLoggerDX will display short error descriptions in the Look Up prefs error status field for each service and in an ErrorAlert or Notification. Longer error descriptions can be found in the Debug Log or in the case of Confirmations in a popup error window. If you do not have the preferences configured correctly or there is some other problem with the QSOs you are trying to upload, the Debug Log will tell you what the error is.
When an error occurs, select Show Debug Log from the File menu and view the file, or select Email Debug Log from the File menu to send it to us.
eQSL prefs
- Callsign - eQSL registered call sign. Taken from MacLoggerDX Station prefs.
- Password - eQSL password (Note: some customers have reported problems with eQSL passwords longer than 14 characters).
- Nickname - eQSL QTH Nickname (or blank if not used).
eQSL Confirmations can be requested at any time with the Confirmations button or by control-clicking on any Log panel QSO (contextual menu). The first time you request Confirmations, all confirmed QSOs will be downloaded and checked against your log - marking QSL Received. The next time you run Confirmations, only confirmed QSOs since the saved Last Report time will be downloaded and checked against your log. You can Reset the Report Time to download all confirmations (Hold the Option key when pressing the button to reset the Report Time to the last 30 days).
A confirmations log is kept in your ~/Documents/MLDX_Logs/adif_confirmations folder.
If there are QSOs in your downloaded report that don't match any QSOs in your log - an ADIF Confirmation Errors file will be displayed which will list QSOs that don't match up with any QSO in your Log.
Macloggerdx 5 57 – Auto Dx Radio Tuner Tuning
If there are QSOs in your log that continue to be displayed as unconfirmed and are not in your ADIF Confirmation Errors file, they may be missing from the downloaded report because they are outside the Last Report time frame, or were not uploaded. The Mark QSL Sent check box will stamp the QSO when it is uploaded.
LoTW prefs
- Note: Requires Version 2.3 or later of the tqsl application to be installed. With macOS Catalina you will need to run a 64 bit version - v2.4.7 or later).
- Note: When a log is signed by tqslv2.5.2, the station details - call Sign, DXCC entity, grid square, and other location details provided by the selected station location (and call sign certificate) — are compared with the details in the log. If the US state and station location in a log do not agree, tqsl v2.5.2 will reject the contact, detecting errors in instances when an incorrect station location has been chosen.
For example: Make sure the grid square entered in the MacLoggerDX Station preferences Grid Square field is exactly the same as the one you enter in the tqsl Location Grid Square field.
Optionally, a station performing roaming operations (e.g., from multiple grid squares) can choose to have tqsl assume that the log is correct. When call sign or home station are provided with the log, tqsl will automatically update the details on the upload. Select 'Override Station Location with QTH Details from your Log' on the 'Log Handling' preference page to enable this feature.
Confirmations interract directly with the LoTW servers over the Internet, but LoTW Uploads go through the tqsl app - so make sure your tqsl app is up to date and working correctly (Once you are set up you won't notice tqsl being called in the background).
When you first upload a QSO to LoTW (either automatically or by right clicking a QSO in the Log panel) or request confirmations MacLoggerDX asks you to select the tqsl app, you need to navigate to the place you are keeping it and select it. When you upgrade your tqsl app, rename the old one and press the Confirmations button or upload a QSO, this will force MacLoggerDX to ask again. - Call Sign - taken from MacLoggerDX Station prefs.
- Location - tqsl application StationLocation name (needed if you have more than one location per call sign - otherwise blank).
- Password - Callsign Certificate password you chose to protect the certificate or blank if you didn't.
- Web Username - received in Callsign Certificate email - needed for Confirmations.
- Web Password - received in Callsign Certificate email - needed for Confirmations.
ARRL LoTW Web username and password help.
You can display your Callsign Certificate Properties in the tqsl application if you are unsure if the certificate is password protected or expired.
The Location needs to be the same as one of your locations in tqsl (outlined in red in the screen shot below). If you have multiple call signs and locations in tqsl, make sure that the Station Location names are all unique. Do not use the same Station Location name for more than one call sign. Location is optional if you have only one.
The actual Location names must match.
LoTW Confirmations can be requested at any time with the Confirmations button or by control-clicking on any Log panel QSO (contextual menu). The first time you request Confirmations, all confirmed QSOs will be downloaded and checked against your log - marking QSL Received.

If there are QSOs in your log that continue to be displayed as unconfirmed and are not in your ADIF Confirmation Errors file, they may be missing from the downloaded report because they are outside the Last Report time frame, or were not uploaded. The Mark QSL Sent check box will stamp the QSO when it is uploaded.
TQSL
If a LoTW upload (either live or from the Log panel contextual menu) appears to hang or times out with an Alert, check that the tqsl app is not waiting for input - i.e. prompting for a password - this can happen if the LoTW certificate password is required but missing or incorrect, or if tqsl is not able to use your System language - 'This language is not supported by the system.' - you can change the language under the tqslFile menu.
MacLoggerDX does not flag duplicates it replaces them. To flag a duplicate would require a switch to the tqsl application user interface which would hang the process. The other alternative is to toss the duplicate - which would not allow you to upload corrected QSOs.
If you are having problems with LoTW uploads from MacLoggerDX, make sure you can sign and upload a small ADIF file using tqsl by itself.
The ARRL LoTW help is here.
If you change your call sign and registration number in MacLoggerDX you will also have to notify the ARRL and make some changes in tqsl.
If an error reported in the MacLoggerDX Debug Log is coming from the tqsl application, help for tqsl is here.
From the ARRL Help desk - if you get this error: 'Error: Database Error: BDB0087 DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery on line 6'.
Open a Terminal window then copy and paste the following 2 commands at the prompt, pressing return after each:
