    Great! Glad you shared this. I converted to Linux about two months ago and I had been using HRD. This should do very nicely. 73

    Thanks for the heads up on this one. Just compiled and install on Debian with no problems at all. Up and running and the time is in 24 hour format the same as the system..
    Thanks for sharing.

    I have been using this Qlog after Xlog. Xlog is very permissive, it alows you to introduce erros. Qlog is much better in this and many other features. Also sends the information to LOTW, eQSL etc, in a very easy way. very good!

    I too found the backend of QRlog's database impossible to use. This sounds like a good logger.

    Always remember the Microsoft dictum: 'If it works it hasn't got enough features'

      That's funny! I do remember the windows days, more than 12 years ago when I still used Windows. Applications had so many buttons and widgets all over their window, it was a cluttered mess that you had to learn and then remember. I don't know if it's improved much recently or not. I have seen in other streams a really popular logger for windows that looks like that, cluttered.

    Do you know if supports remote logging via ADIF call like CQrlog? I'm using this a lot to log calls from browser extensions (like POTA) 73

      No, I don't know. There is a qlog group over on groups.io. You could ask there or dig through the manual on the wiki page.

    I just installed Qlog on my Linux computer, and the clock is 24 hour format, matching the system setup.

      Yeah, it's Hit or Miss. I have discovered that it depends on environment variables buried in configuration files. I have put a request in over on the forum for the developer to add a simple preference setting that the user can click.

    I have noticed you installed a "fork". Is there any difference with the original repo?

    • @VA3HDL

      The fork seems a revival. The original repo did not change in 6 years. Looks like someone took that old code base and modernized.

    I am about to dump Windows and join the Linux crowd. What flavor of Linux do you run? and what flavor would you recommend for mostly Ham Radio stuff? Thank you.

      I run Ubuntu mate. The mate desktop is very similar to the windows desktop in the way it does things. Ubuntu is one of the most popular distributions therefore highly compatible with most tutorials that you find. You do have to install the amateur radio software using the package manager, but that is fairly easy.
      If you want to start out with all the ham radio software installed, check out Andy's ham radio Linux. I don't remember which desktop it runs, but it has most of the amateur radio software installed right from the start.
