Using DxQSO with N3FJP
The N3FJP logging programs have one of the most loyal followings in amateur radio, and for good reason: they do the job, they are straightforward, and they do not make you learn a system before you can log a contact.
Keep using them. DxQSO does not replace your logging program and is not trying to.
The simplest route: ADIF
If you would rather not configure anything, this is all you need:
- Export an ADIF file from your N3FJP program.
- Upload it to DxQSO, from the website or the mobile app.
- That is it. Your contacts are in the cloud, searchable from your phone.
You can repeat that whenever you like, and DxQSO will not duplicate contacts it already has.
The route that then runs by itself
If you upload to LoTW or QRZ — and most N3FJP users do — connect those accounts to DxQSO once and the rest is automatic. DxQSO reads your confirmations back around the clock, so you never have to log in and check a report again.
What you get
- Your log in your pocket. Searchable at the club meeting, in the car, anywhere.
- An alert when a contact is confirmed, saying what it moved — a new state toward Worked All States, a new entity toward DXCC.
- Award tracking done for you, across DXCC, WAS, VUCC, the CQ awards and the DX Marathon.
- Your club on one screen, if your club uses DxSocial.
If LoTW has always felt like more trouble than it is worth, DX-TQSL is our attempt at making the signing and uploading part painless — and it backs up your certificate so a failed hard drive does not cost you years of confirmations.
What DxQSO does not do
- It is not a logging program. There is no contest keyer, no rig control, no macros. Log where you log.
- It does not need to sit between you and LoTW. Upload however you already upload; DxQSO reads the results.
- It does not merge your confirmation sources. LoTW and QRZ are kept as two labeled sets, because ARRL awards accept one of them and not the other.
Common questions
Do I have to change how I log?
No. That is the whole point.
Does DxQSO upload to LoTW for me?
It does not need to. If you would like an easier path to LoTW, that is what DX-TQSL is for.
Is there a free tier?
Yes. Connect a logbook source and the core features are free.
