Need to correct a frequency, update a location, or add a note to a logged QSO? World Radio League makes it easy to edit contact details directly from your logbook — whether you’re fixing an error or updating data after an activation.
This guide will walk you through how to find and edit an individual QSO from any logbook.
Step 1: Open the Correct Logbook #
-
Navigate to the Log Contacts section.
-
Select the logbook that contains the QSO you want to edit.
-
Locate the QSO in your logbook list.
Step 2: Open Contact Details #
You have two ways to access editing:
-
Click the eye icon to view the contact details, then click “Edit”
-
Or, from the logbook table view, click the pencil (edit) icon directly on the row
Step 3: Edit QSO Fields #
You’ll now be able to update any field in the logging interface.
Common editable fields include:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Operating Location | Choose from saved locations or set a new one (affects distance calculations) |
| Radio & Antenna | Select the equipment used for that contact |
| Frequency / Band / Mode | Correct or fine-tune frequency details |
| Power Output | Adjust transmit power (e.g., 20W for a G90) |
| Date & Time | Backdate a QSO or fix a logging timestamp |
| Comments | Add notes like “First contact with Antarctica” |
| Contest Fields | Leave blank if not contesting, or adjust exchange info if needed |
World Radio League automatically pulls some details (country, grid, state, etc.) from its database — these typically don’t require manual edits unless you need to override them.
Step 4: Save Changes #
Once you’ve made all necessary updates:
-
Click “Update Contact”
-
You’ll see the new data reflected immediately in your logbook
The system will also recalculate distance and azimuth if you changed the operating location or frequency.
Example Use Case #
Let’s say you made a mobile QSO but accidentally logged it with your home location:
-
Edit the QSO
-
Change the operating location to your mobile grid
-
Update the frequency, radio, antenna, and power
-
Add a note like “Mobile op from GA”
-
Save the changes
World Radio League will update the QSO details and recalculate the distance and mapping data automatically.
