Displaying QSOs
QSOs are displayed in the Log Page Display, a table located at the bottom of the Main window's Log QSOs tab. Each row of this table corresponds to a QSO in your log. Each column of this table corresponds to a recorded item. After DXKeeper is first installed, the Log Page Display has eight columns:
Call |
DXCC |
Starting UTC |
Band |
Mode |
Sent |
Rcvd |
Name |
call |
DXCCPrefix |
QSO_Begin |
Band |
Mode |
RST_Sent |
RST_Rcvd |

If you've logged 3 QSOs, your Log Page Display might look like this:

You can add or remove columns in the Log Page Display, change their order, change their column heading, and change the alignment of the information within a column, for example
The complete list of items recorded with each QSO is provided here.
To select a QSO, click anywhere on its row in the Log Page Display. The panels located above the Log Page Display display all of the items recorded with that QSO. Each panel contains a group of related items. The QSO panel at the top is always visible, and displays basic items such as callsign, begin, end, frequency, band, mode, and DXCC prefix. You can optionally make six other panels visible: Auxillary, QSL, Online QSL, Awards, Contest, and Satellite. To make one of the panel's visible check its box in the Log Panels panel on the Config window's Log tab; conversely, you can hide a panel by unchecking its box. You can also control the visibility of these panels using the vertical array of 6 checkboxes located in the upper-right corner of the Main window's Log QSOs tab; you may need to expand the width of the Main window to see them.
Additional Capabilities
You can
specify the order in which QSOs are presented in the Log Page Display -- e.g. by QSO date and time, or by callsign.
specify a subset of QSOs to remain visible in the Log Page Display; for example, you might wish to only see QSOs made on the 160m band, or only QSOs with stations in Yemen.
Generate Reports showing your logged QSOs, progress towards awards, QSL status, etc.
