PyQSO – contact logging tool for amateur radio operators

PyQSO is a contact logging tool for amateur radio operators.

The graphical user interface has been developed using the GTK+ library through the PyGObject bindings.

This is free and open source software.

Key Features

  • Simple graphical interface through which users can manage information about the contacts/QSOs they make with other operators on the air.
  • All information is stored in a light-weight SQL database.
  • Customisable interface (e.g. only show callsign and frequency information).
  • Import logs in ADIF format, and export logs in ADIF or Cabrillo format.
  • Perform callsign lookups and auto-fill data fields using the qrz.com and hamqth.com online databases.
  • Sort the logs by individual fields.
  • Print a hard-copy of logs, or print to PDF.
  • Connect to Telnet-based DX clusters.
  • Progress tracker for the DXCC award.
  • World map with grey line and Maidenhead grid squares.
  • Filter QSOs based on callsign (e.g. only display contacts with callsigns beginning with “M6”).
  • Remove duplicate QSOs.
  • Basic support for the Hamlib library.
