What's Next?
Please read the remainder of this page to learn more about DXtreme Station Log
and how it can make your Amateur Radio operating more efficient and pleasurable!
We'll tell you the whole story!
So, grab a cool 807 ...
... and read on!
By the way ... a search glass appears where screenshots are available for viewing.
The DX Spot Checker™ lets you
receive incoming DX spot announcements from Telnet-based DX Cluster and DXSpider
servers.1
As each spot arrives, the DX Spot Checker checks your
Station Log database and lets you know by means of colorful
rich-text andaudio whether you need a:
QSO with the station for a new DXCC entity
QSL from the station to confirm a DXCC entity
QSO with the station for a new band-entity
QSL from the station to confirm a band-entity
The audio announcements are particularly useful when you
cannot see the DX Spot Checker window — like when
you're busy working on your computer and forget to Alt-Tab between applications often enough, or
when you're busy working on a project in the shack and you can't even see your monitor!
The audio feature is there ... making sure that
you don't miss the DXCC entities you need! A button on the
DX Spot Checker toolbar lets you toggle the audio
announcements off for those times when you crave silence.
If desired, you can customize the rich-text messages and audio files for each DXCC status
so the DXCC announcements look and sound the way you want them to.
You can even assign different colors
to each DXCC status message to make the spots you really need stand out! We like
red for spots representing new DXCC entities.
The DX Spot Checker also displays the
mode status of each entity on its window. You can use this information to determine
whether you need to contact the station for a new or verified mode-entity.
Additional features let you:
Recall spots in a separate window so you can view the history of spots for a
single station in one place.
Send spot announcements to others by e-mail.
Perform Web-based, callsign lookups on stations spotted.
Tune your radio to the frequency and mode of a desired spot!2
Quickly check your DXCC status information without having to leave the
DX Spot Checker window.
Furthermore, the DX Spot Checker lets you access your favorite propagation
Web page with the click of a button.
And it lets you send DX Cluster- and DXSpider-supported commands to the server by clicking the
desired menu item, or pressing its corresponding Function key on your keyboard.
For review purposes, you can export the content of the DX Spot Checker window to WordPad,
where you can scroll through the history of spots received thus far and, if desired, save, send, or print the information.
The DX Spot Checker has a separate Options dialog box
that lets you specify:
Server addresses.
Rig-control mode definitions.
Standard server commands.
Additional commands that can be sent from menu and Function key combinations.
Custom DXCC text messages for each DXCC message type.
Custom DXCC audio WAV files for each DXCC message type.
Separate font and color
attributes for each DXCC message type.
Whether to display spot recalls in ascending or descending order.
Whether to suppress the display of spots whose DXCC entities are verified on all bands.
1 — Requires an Internet connection. 2 — Requires installation and configuration of Afreet Omni-Rig or Ham Radio Deluxe. Refer to
"Rig Control in DXtreme Station Log" later on this page for important information.
Note: You must have JavaScript enabled to see the sample window
on your browser.
For best results, please click the button at the bottom of the
sample window when you've finished viewing it.
If you don't, the sample window may appear
behind the main browser window.
The Station Log window has five tabs that organize and
provide access to the fields of your electronic logbook:
Station Log tab —
The Station Log tab lets you enter information about the
contact, such as the:
Callsign and location of the station.
Name of the ham radio operator.
Date and time of the contact. (The date can be retained over several
log entries by selecting the Retain Date check box; the current time
can be updated by double-clicking the Start and End captions.)
Frequency and mode of transmission.
Note: When Afreet Omni-Rig or Ham Radio Deluxe is installed and configured on your
computer, Station Log enters the frequency and mode from your transceiver in the
Frequency and Mode fields. Refer to "Rig Control in DXtreme Station Log" for important information.
Signal quality.
Name of the audio archive file.
Equipment you used to work the station. (Defaults for which can be set
per band within the Bands module.)
The Station Log tab can also display information, such as:
DXCC status information.
DXCC, Band, and Mode fields on the Station Log tab
display entity status information when the entity, band, and mode are known to Station Log. The entity status information
that can appear includes New, Worked, and Verified.
Status appears immediately after entering a valid callsign when Station Log has been
configured to work with a rig control application. When you have not configured a rig control
application, the status appears after you type a frequency and select a mode.
The distance between your station and the station worked.
Whether the amateur radio operator you worked is a user of Logbook of The World (LoTW).1
The Solar Flux, A-Index, and K-Index values in effect at the
time of the QSO!2
1 — Must download the lotw.txt file from the HB9BZA Web site and
import it using the LoTW Users module.
2 — Requires an Internet connection. Users can update existing log entries
with solar data at any time, provided the QSOs took place on or after January 1, 1997.
Station Information tab —
The Station Information tab lets you enter the postal address of the station
you worked or its QSL manager. It also lets you enter or obtain the coordinates, Web, and
e-mail address of the station. You only have to enter this information
once because Station Log recalls it every time you work the station.
If desired, you can drag and drop address information from a Web callsign lookup page
or any OLE-compatible Windows program. You can click the Call
field at any time to perform a Web callsign lookup.
When you subscribe to Buckmaster HamCall™, Station Log fills location and address
fields automatically when you enter a log entry — if the information is provided
by HamCall.
If a QSL manager is defined in Buckmaster HamCall, Station Log displays a dialog box that lets you
confirm the callsign of the manager. Once confirmed, Station Log queries HamCall for the
address of the QSL manager and enters that address in the fields of the
Station Information tab. If Buckmaster doesn't know the identity of a QSL manager,
but you do, you can have Buckmaster populate the address fields with the address of the QSL manager.
The address information on the Station Information tab appears in the
Create QSL Label window, so you can create an address label for your outgoing QSLs.
Station Log uses the coordinates to calculate the great circle distance between your QTH
and that of the station you contacted. The distance appears in the
DX field on the Station Log tab
and in Stations reports that you print or display in the Active Report Viewer.
Clicking the Web caption on the tab displays the Web page of the station in your registered browser; clicking
the E-Mail caption displays a pre-addressed Message window in
Microsoft Windows Live Mail, Windows Mail, Outlook Express, or Microsoft Office Outlook.
Clicking the Click Here for Map hyperlink displays a map of the address if available
on the MapQuest™ Web site. (requires an Internet connection).
MapQuest™ is a registered trademark of MapQuest.com, Inc.
Verification Status tab —
The Verification Status tab lets you specify information regarding
outgoing and incoming QSLs.
For Outgoing QSLs — You can specify:
Whether you're sending a QSL.
Date you're sending the QSL.
Return postage you're sending with the QSL.
Method you're using to send the QSL (air mail, Web, etc.).
Entity to whom you're sending the QSL (bureau, QSL manager, etc.).
For Incoming QSLs — You can specify:
Whether you have received a QSL.
Date you received the QSL.
Entity from whom you received the QSL (bureau, QSL manager, etc.).
Method used to send the QSL to you (air mail, Web, etc.).
Name of the QSL image file.
The Verification Status tab also lets you preview the front and back
of the QSL — provided you have either scanned or captured the
QSL.
Comments - Station + QSO tab —
The Comments - Station + QSO tab has two memo fields that let you enter comments
about the station and/or QSO.
User Defined Fields tab —
The User Defined Fields tab has seven fields that you can define and then
use to enter and track information that is important
to you.
There are two kinds of user defined fields (UDFs): Text Box Fields and
List Box Fields.
Text Box Fields — Station Log's four text box fields let you
type the information you desire. (The information you enter can be retained over several
log entries by selecting the adjacent Retain check box.)
List Box Fields — Station Log's three list box fields let you
select the information you desire from a list of
items that you also define.
You define the UDFs in Station Log's Preferences window (described
later). Defining UDFs involves:
Labeling each field, and
Entering the list items you want to appear in each list box field.
For example, you could define and use UDFs
this way:
Text Box UDF — Specify "Age of Ham" as the label in
Preferences. Then on the Station Log window, type the current
age of the ham you contacted into the Age of Ham box. When
you run a Performance, Bands, or Stations report, you can track a specific
age value.
List Box UDF — Specify "Location" as the
label in Preferences and then define a list of the locations
from which you operate. These locations could be Home, Vacation,
DXpedition, and so on. Then on the Station Log window,
select the current operating location as you log each contact. When
you run a Performance, Bands, or Stations report, you can track a specific
operating location.
Note: If you use a UDF list box field to track your operating
locations, Station Log can calculate distance based on the specific coordinates
of each operating location.
Fields and Maintenance Modules
Most of the fields on the Station Log window are drop-down
list box fields that make entering consistent data easy. These
fields are populated with list items that you can maintain
in Station Log's maintenance modules (described later).
Menu Bar and Toolbar
Station Log's menu bar lets you access the other functions of Station Log. These
functions let you access the DX Spot Checker, search for log entries, perform maintenance functions,
manage QSLing, perform audio processing, perform QSL imaging, run performance reports, display maps,
and more.
Station Log's toolbar lets you quickly and conveniently access the functions you use most often.

Note: Remember to click the button at the bottom of the sample window
when you've finished viewing it.
To provide our users with a robust logging program that also provides a degree of rig control,
DXtreme Station Log — Multimedia Edition integrates with Omni-Rig and Ham Radio Deluxe, both free-for-amateur-use
rig control programs that are available over Web.
Click http://www.dxatlas.com
for information about Omni-Rig, which is owned by Afreet Software, Inc.
When Omni-Rig or Ham Radio Deluxe is installed and configured on your PC:
Station Log's DX Spot Checker can tune your rig to a frequency
double-clicked on the DX Spot Checker window. The DX Spot Checker can also
set your rig to the mode you specify for the frequency in the DX Spot Checker Options
window.
The main window of Station Log enters the frequency and mode from your rig in
the Frequency and Mode fields whenever you add a new log entry or
double-click the Frequency field.
You can then use Omni-Rig or Ham Radio Deluxe to perform other rig-control functions
provided for your radio.
While ...
Making maximum use of the advanced, general-purpose logging functions provided
by DXtreme Station Log — Multimedia Edition, many of which are not provided by any other vendor
on the market today.
With DXtreme Station Log — Multimedia Edition and either Omni-Rig or Ham Radio Deluxe, you'll have
the best of both worlds!
Using rig control is optional. To enable it:
Install a copy of Omni-Rig or Ham Radio Deluxe on your system.
Configure it to work with your radio. (Omni-Rig makes it possible for users to
create a rig descriptor file that provides rig control functions for a radio not currently supported; although,
most popular radios are supported.)
In the Preferences window of DXtreme Station Log, click the
Afreet Omni-Rig or Ham Radio Deluxe option button as desired.
In the case of Ham Radio Deluxe, invoke a single instance of it running in the background.
It is not necessary to invoke an instance of Omni-Rig.
Refer to the Omni-Rig Web site or the Ham Radio Deluxe Web site for support when using
their software with your radio.
Contact us for support on our integration with those products.
Station Log's audio archive facility lets you record and play audio clips
of the stations you work.
The audio toolbar on the Station Log window ...
... lets you quickly and easily record and play audio as you are logging
a station.
Station Log also integrates with the Windows Sound Recorder to let you
edit and compress audio files.
Requirements and Format
To use Station Log's audio archive facility, your computer must have sound
capabilities that are supported by Windows® 7, Windows Vista® or Windows XP.
Station Log saves the audio clip as a WAV file in the Audio Repository
you specify in Preferences.
Several contesting, RTTY, PSK, and other data-mode programs enable you to output contact information in the
Amateur Data Interchange Format (ADIF). DXtreme Station Log has an ADIF Import Utility that lets you
import log entries from such ADIF files.
Options on the ADIF Import Utility window let you specify:
The ADIF tag from which you want to import states and provinces
Default information for the log entries being imported, such as information you want to capture
in the user-defined fields you created in Preferences, and default RST values if they're not
already in the ADIF file being imported.
Whether to perform callsign lookups on each station being imported if you subscribe to
Buckmaster HamCall.
Whether you want to approve each entity selection the utility makes based on standard and
special prefixes. The utility tries first to use ADIF DXCC tag numbers to identify the entity if
those numbers are in the ADIF. If DXCC tag numbers are not in the ADIF, the utility bases its
entity selections on standard and special prefixes.
Whether you want to be prompted for the CQ zone when the ADIF file has no CQ zone information
of its own and the entity has more than one CQ zone assigned. (When the entity has a single
CQ zone assigned, or when a state or province has a single CQ zone assigned, the utility selects
the appropriate zone automatically.)
Whether you want to be prompted for a state or province when the ADIF file has no state or province information
of its own.
The number of months it typically takes to obtain a QSL from the stations you have worked
and verified in the past. The import utility uses this information to set an approximate
QSL received date when the ADIF file contains QSL information, but no <QSLRDATE> tags.
Whether to create Web eQSLs as you import the ADIF file.
As the ADIF Import Utility runs, it:
Generates multi-QSO QSL labels automatically for cards being sent via an
outgoing QSL bureau — provided Automatic Bureau QSL Generation has been enabled for
the ADIF Import Utility in Preferences.1
Note: A pre-sort facility comes with ADIF Import Utility. The facility pre-sorts the source
ADIF file by callsign instead of by date and time. This action ensures that the maximum number of
multi-QSO QSL labels will be generated because the incoming log entries will be contiguous by call sign.
Writes the rig, antenna, accessory, and power used to each imported contact record by band, according to
the defaults specified in the Bands module.
Writes other default information into each imported contact record, such as the post method, QSL Via entity, and
return postage — if you indicated in Preferences that you are sending a QSL to every station worked.
Indicates whether the amateur radio operator of each imported record is a user of Logbook of the World. The
indication appears in the report entitled "Records Added During ADIF Import or QSL Update." You can use this
information to decide whether you want to send and request a paper QSL, or simply rely on the anticipated
LoTW QSL for verification of the QSO.
The import utility recognizes the following ADIF tags:
<ARRL_SECT>
<BAND>
<CALL>
<CNTY>
<COMMENT>
<CQZ>
<DXCC>
<FREQ>
<GRIDSQUARE>
<IOTA>
<MODE>
<NAME>
<QSL_RCVD>
<QSL_SENT>
<QSL_VIA>
<QSLRDATE>
<QSLSDATE>
<QSO_DATE>
<QTH>
<RST_RCVD>
<RST_SENT>
<STATE>
<TIME>
<TIME_OFF>
<TIME_ON>
<VE_PROV>
1 — Requires Microsoft® Word.

Note: Remember to click the button at the bottom of the sample window
when you've finished viewing it.
DXtreme Station Log can help you manage your outgoing QSLs. Specifically,
you can:
Create customized single-QSO1 and multi-QSO2 QSL and
address labels for physical QSL cards.
Generate multi-QSO QSL labels automatically for cards being sent
via an outgoing QSL bureau.2
Send eQSLs to Web sites that specialize in the delivery of eQSLs.
Send eQSLs directly to hams by Internet e-mail.
QSL and Address Labels
DXtreme Station Log integrates with other applications to create QSL
and address labels for the physical QSL cards you send by regular mail.
Each label has precisely the format and wording you want.
Microsoft Word — DXtreme Station Log
uses its Create QSL Label window and Microsoft Word to manage the
creation of multiple single-QSO or multi-QSO QSL and address labels.
After Station Log creates the labels, you can print them from Word on standard,
adhesive label stock.2
The following illustrations show QSL and address labels printed
from Word:
Single-QSO Label
Multi-QSO Label
Address Label
The Create QSL Label window gets address information from the
Station Information fields on the Station Log
window if the address information exists in the Station Log database.
If you subscribe to Buckmaster HamCall, the Address Information
box contains the address of the station or its QSL manager automatically.
If there is no address information present, or if you want to replace it, you
can click the Web button on the Create QSL Label
window to perform a callsign lookup. When the Callsign Lookup Web page appears,
ou can select the address information on the Web page and then drag and drop it onto the
Address Information box. The address must be in text format on the Web page.
You can also drag and drop address text from any OLE-compatible Windows program.
You can also type or edit the address manually.
As an alternative, you can click the Change to QSL Via button to produce a QSL-Via label for
sending the QSL via the bureau.
Other text editors — DXtreme
Station Log uses text editors such as Microsoft Works or WordPad
to create single-QSO QSL labels one-at-a-time. After Station Log creates the label,
you can print it from the text editor on adhesive stock.1
The following illustration shows a completed QSL label printed
from a text editor:
Note: Creating QSL labels with Microsoft Word is the preferred
method.2 Doing so lets you:
Create single-QSO or multi-QSO QSL labels.
Create QSL and address labels with rich text formatting features, such
as different font colors and attributes.
Easily manage the printing of multiple QSL and address labels on standard,
adhesive label stock.
Generate multi-QSO QSL labels automatically for cards being sent via an outgoing QSL bureau.
Web eQSLs
DXtreme Station Log creates Web eQSLs by appending each eQSL record
to a special ADIF file.
You can access your preferred eQSL Web site through Station Log at
any time to upload your eQSL records — either one-at-a-time or in a batch.
e-Mail eQSLs
DXtreme Station Log integrates with Microsoft Windows Live Mail/Windows Mail/Outlook Express or
Microsoft Outlook to send eQSLs to hams by Internet e-mail. Each eQSL has the wording
and information you want.
1 — Requires Microsoft® Word or an external text editor. 2 — Requires Microsoft® Word.
Screenshots — Outgoing QSLs
Note: Remember to click the button at the bottom of the sample window
when you've finished viewing it.
DXtreme Station Log outputs log entries in ADIF format so you can
use the ARRL's TrustedQSL (TQSL) software to digitally sign them.
After you sign the log entries, you can upload them to the League's
Logbook of the World server.
DXtreme Station Log's LoTW QSL Update Utility lets you update your
Station Log database with QSL records downloaded from the ARRL's
Logbook of the World (LoTW) server.
The utility marks as verified only those log entries that have not
been verified by other QSLs, such as traditional QSL cards.
If your database does not contain log entries that correspond to
downloaded LoTW QSL records, the utility gives you the option of
importing those LoTW QSL records as new log entries.
Screenshot — LoTW QSL Update Utility
Note: Remember to click the button at the bottom of the sample window
when you've finished viewing it.
DXtreme Station Log comes with DXtreme Software's highly acclaimed
QSL Imaging™ facility.
QSL Imaging lets you scan, capture, view, edit, format, and annotate
your QSLs and related documents.
With QSL Imaging, you never again have to look through boxes or photo
albums to answer the question:
"What did that QSL look like?"
Just search Station Log for the confirmed log entry and then click
View QSL to see the QSL card! As an alternative, you can use the
QSL Repository Explorer (described later) to browse or explore your QSL
Repository.
By default, QSL Imaging saves QSLs in the Tagged Image File Format (TIFF).
The TIFF format lets you save the front and back of each QSL as
individual pages in a single image file — similar to how a word processor lets you save
individual text pages in a single document file. If you want to save
your QSL images in other formats, you can.
With QSL Imaging you can perform the following functions:
Basic Functions
Scan QSLs and other documents into your computer (industry-standard TWAIN scanner required).
Capture eQSLs from the Internet.
Capture Logbook of the World (LoTW) QSLs from the LoTW Web site.
View QSLs and related documents.
Magnify and zoom QSL images.
Navigate the pages of QSL image files.
Page Manipulation Functions

DXtreme Station Log has an array of reports that let you
track the performance of your station.
You can run the following types of reports:
Performance — Lets you track the overall performance
of your station.
The report shows the number of contacts per subject and whether the subject is
worked or verified overall and on each mode and band. You can produce
a Performance report for each of the following subjects:
Entities
Continents
Counties
CQ Zones
Grid locators
IOTA numbers
States and Provinces
User-defined fields (UDFs)
Bands — Lets you analyze the performance of your
station from a bands perspective. The report shows the number of contacts
you have made per band, overall and on each mode. The report also
shows grand totals for all bands and for each mode.
Stations — Lets you see a list of the stations
in your log.
Filter Reports
Station Log lets you filter your Performance, Bands, and
Stations reports. You can run a report that contains:
All of the information in your log, or
Specific information from your log that satisfies criteria you specify.
For example, you can run a report that shows results for a particular:
Band
Mode
Date range
Rig, antenna, and/or power range
Solar Flux, A-Index, and/or K-Index range
And so on ...
Just the thing for seeing how well a particular rig, antenna, or amplifier is performing; for producing
QRP reports; or for analyzing the effects of specific propagation conditions.
