Speaker 1: While at Galveston Island State Park for Parks on the
Speaker 1: Air today, we're going to be using the World Radio
Speaker 1: League logging software. One of the most famous questions we get,
Speaker 1: we as YouTubers get in multiple videos that we do,
Speaker 1: is what logging software is that? And that's probably going
Speaker 1: to be the name of this video too. What logging
Speaker 1: software in that? World Radio League is a web based
Speaker 1: logging platform that works on Android and iOS as well
Speaker 1: as Windows, Mac and everything else because it's web based.
Speaker 1: When you download the app, which is free, you log
Speaker 1: your you create a potolog and you can use it
Speaker 1: for Soda, Winterfield Day, several other templates as well. And
Speaker 1: when you are back, if you're out of Wi Fi
Speaker 1: range or sell coverage range, you create the log on
Speaker 1: your smartphone. You put all your data in the log.
Speaker 1: At the end of your activation, when you go back,
Speaker 1: it auto uploads the log to the website, and then
Speaker 1: you go to the website, log into your account, which
Speaker 1: is also free, and download any logs you have and
Speaker 1: they're easy to upload from to the Parks on the
Speaker 1: Air website from there. So we're gonna take a look
Speaker 1: at that, and I'm gonna go through some of the
Speaker 1: features of the app today. I really like this app.
Speaker 1: It does self spotting for PODA, Like I just type
Speaker 1: in where I'm at, what state park I'm at, what
Speaker 1: the number is, what frequency I'm on, and I click
Speaker 1: auto upload and auto spots being on the PoTA website.
Speaker 1: I don't have to do anything else, so it works
Speaker 1: very well. Been using this for about the past six
Speaker 1: months or so. And I found a couple of bugs
Speaker 1: early on, and I submitted a bug report through the
Speaker 1: app and they fixed it within like forty eight hours.
Speaker 1: So they're very active in the community. They're very willing
Speaker 1: to listen to feedback from Ham Radio operators like myself
Speaker 1: and everybody else. And you can get into the forums
Speaker 1: and chat about stuff and do future requests and whatnot.
Speaker 1: So let's go. I'm excited to show you guys this
Speaker 1: app today. Today's video is sponsored by Ham Radio. Prep
Speaker 1: save a twenty percent discount off of all of their
Speaker 1: courses with the coupon code of Jason twenty link in
Speaker 1: the description below. This is the log There's all the
Speaker 1: logs I've put into this app since I started using it,
Speaker 1: And again, this is on my phone. You're the screen
Speaker 1: you're looking at right now. Is on my phone. So
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go to a new log book and I'm
Speaker 1: gonna put case five h towb at US three O
Speaker 1: one three twenty twenty five oh three oh five. I
Speaker 1: think today's fifth, Yes, Today's fifth, and then I name
Speaker 1: my logs that way. You can name it whatever you
Speaker 1: want to, obviously, because that's back from the day where
Speaker 1: you had to name it a certain format to send
Speaker 1: it to the uploaders at Poda. But now you can
Speaker 1: upload your own logs at Poda. It doesn't matter. So
Speaker 1: you can see there, I've got Poda Soda Worldwide, Flora fauna,
Speaker 1: and Iota Islands on the air, Okay, and there's actually
Speaker 1: more than that that it'll do. So I got Poda
Speaker 1: right there. I'm gonna find my park, which I already
Speaker 1: know where my park is, but if you don't, if
Speaker 1: you're at a new park, you just click on find
Speaker 1: my park, click the park that's that you want, Galveston
Speaker 1: Island State Park. I'm gonna put my frequency is twenty
Speaker 1: one dot three fifty because that's where I tune my
Speaker 1: intended to. But it might change, and I don't like
Speaker 1: the fact that it requires you to put the frequency
Speaker 1: in I wish you could just put the band in
Speaker 1: and then when you do the auto spot you need
Speaker 1: the frequency obviously, but we'll do that here in a minute.
Speaker 1: So the grid looks good, I'm gonna go create logbook
Speaker 1: and there I am right there. Over on the right
Speaker 1: hand side. We see all the spots. You can look
Speaker 1: at the spots there. I can change band. I can
Speaker 1: see all the fifteen meters spots right there. Some CWNFT eight.
Speaker 1: There's a sideband one KA five CRL is on twenty
Speaker 1: one dot two eighty one. He's in Texas. I doubt
Speaker 1: I can hear him. You never know. I'm looking at
Speaker 1: my radio. I'm not seeing that right now. But anyway,
Speaker 1: so you can get spots there. Go back to log
Speaker 1: it's got a mapping feature obviously. Once I start putting
Speaker 1: logs in, it'll have the map. So let's do a
Speaker 1: couple of contacts and see what this looks like here.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go find a frequency. Keilo Charlie five Hotel

Speaker 1: Golf two Mike, Mike Great signal five nine, Thank you
Speaker 1: much anything. You're also five nine in the mobile year
Speaker 1: in North Florida. Good to get you thirty three. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's the other mic out there, right, all right, buddy,
Speaker 1: good to work. You get sounded good from the mobile
Speaker 1: station seventy three this afternoon. And that's how it's working. Right.
Speaker 1: There is a great app. I'm gonna work this up.
Speaker 1: Want to work this pile up. So let me stop that.
Speaker 1: After all of that, when you go to open this,
Speaker 1: this is a web page from my computer. This is
Speaker 1: not the app anymore. So everything I just put into
Speaker 1: the app is trackable right here under log contacts. It's
Speaker 1: log contacts. It's kind of misleading, in my opinion. It
Speaker 1: should say logbook or something right here, because log contact
Speaker 1: makes it sound like you're starting a new log, which
Speaker 1: you can do from that view. But the view we
Speaker 1: were using that day at the park, this is a
Speaker 1: couple days later I'm recording. This was this guy right here.
Speaker 1: But even if I did two or three activations in
Speaker 1: a row, this is one hundred and fifteen contact activation
Speaker 1: I did from Galveston Island State Park the day before
Speaker 1: this one that you were watching the day before the app.
Speaker 1: I used the app in both places, obviously, but this
Speaker 1: was the day before, and then I recorded that video
Speaker 1: this day right here. So all of your log books
Speaker 1: are now on the web store or on the website
Speaker 1: rather where you can access them real time after the fact.
Speaker 1: You can go up here to leaderboard and it gives
Speaker 1: you stats here. Contest mode tells you dates of stuff
Speaker 1: in here. Community Chat. If there's other people chatting or
Speaker 1: other people using the app at the same time you are,
Speaker 1: you can come in here and chat with them. You know, again,
Speaker 1: you need an Internet connection to use all of this part,
Speaker 1: but it's got a lot of extra stuff in here
Speaker 1: that you can make use of at different times, whether
Speaker 1: you're out of park or after the fact. Or want
Speaker 1: to log your contacts and you can just download. You
Speaker 1: can just download that ADIF file from here and upload
Speaker 1: it directly to the PoTA website or add it to
Speaker 1: your own logbook, your master logbook that you keep on
Speaker 1: a computer somewhere, so it's very easy to access the
Speaker 1: file once you are finished with it, or you want
Speaker 1: to add to it later or something like that. So
