I was doing some housekeeping on the K7CCH QRZ page and thought it couldn’t be that difficult to open and start a QRZ logbook for the club. What a Rabbit hole! Anyway, after our POTA Palooza last weekend I was thinking, "I know I like to get confirmations in my own log so how many people have we not confirmed that may have needed us for WAS (Worked all states), worked all counties, grid squares etc."
Well, I traveled down the rabbit hole! After about 5 hours of beating my head against the desk, the club now has 4150 QSO’s in the logbook. 1146 confirmed contacts and 15 countries. Oh, and Worked All States, and 284 Grid Squares, and 506 counties, and…. get the picture?
I had logs from Field days, Winter Field days, 7QP, and POTA from the last 3 years so I made a master log using N3FJP and converted and uploaded to QRZ. No, it’s not Logbook of the World so no official awards but it still gives us an idea of how good we are doing and gives those operators that contacted us their confirmations.
From here on I’ll continue to upload our club logs after club events.
Cheers,
