00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:02.960
<v Speaker 1>While at Galveston Island State Park for Parks on the

2
00:00:03.000 --> 00:00:05.160
<v Speaker 1>Air today, we're going to be using the World Radio

3
00:00:05.360 --> 00:00:09.880
<v Speaker 1>League logging software. One of the most famous questions we get,

4
00:00:10.359 --> 00:00:13.439
<v Speaker 1>we as YouTubers get in multiple videos that we do,

5
00:00:13.720 --> 00:00:16.120
<v Speaker 1>is what logging software is that? And that's probably going

6
00:00:16.160 --> 00:00:17.719
<v Speaker 1>to be the name of this video too. What logging

7
00:00:17.760 --> 00:00:21.519
<v Speaker 1>software in that? World Radio League is a web based

8
00:00:21.920 --> 00:00:25.839
<v Speaker 1>logging platform that works on Android and iOS as well

9
00:00:25.839 --> 00:00:28.440
<v Speaker 1>as Windows, Mac and everything else because it's web based.

10
00:00:28.920 --> 00:00:32.840
<v Speaker 1>When you download the app, which is free, you log

11
00:00:32.880 --> 00:00:35.240
<v Speaker 1>your you create a potolog and you can use it

12
00:00:35.240 --> 00:00:38.479
<v Speaker 1>for Soda, Winterfield Day, several other templates as well. And

13
00:00:38.520 --> 00:00:42.560
<v Speaker 1>when you are back, if you're out of Wi Fi

14
00:00:42.679 --> 00:00:46.119
<v Speaker 1>range or sell coverage range, you create the log on

15
00:00:46.159 --> 00:00:49.039
<v Speaker 1>your smartphone. You put all your data in the log.

16
00:00:49.079 --> 00:00:51.520
<v Speaker 1>At the end of your activation, when you go back,

17
00:00:51.880 --> 00:00:54.960
<v Speaker 1>it auto uploads the log to the website, and then

18
00:00:55.000 --> 00:00:57.320
<v Speaker 1>you go to the website, log into your account, which

19
00:00:57.399 --> 00:01:00.280
<v Speaker 1>is also free, and download any logs you have and

20
00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:02.439
<v Speaker 1>they're easy to upload from to the Parks on the

21
00:01:02.479 --> 00:01:05.040
<v Speaker 1>Air website from there. So we're gonna take a look

22
00:01:05.040 --> 00:01:06.680
<v Speaker 1>at that, and I'm gonna go through some of the

23
00:01:06.680 --> 00:01:08.959
<v Speaker 1>features of the app today. I really like this app.

24
00:01:08.959 --> 00:01:12.439
<v Speaker 1>It does self spotting for PODA, Like I just type

25
00:01:12.439 --> 00:01:15.840
<v Speaker 1>in where I'm at, what state park I'm at, what

26
00:01:16.280 --> 00:01:18.400
<v Speaker 1>the number is, what frequency I'm on, and I click

27
00:01:18.439 --> 00:01:20.719
<v Speaker 1>auto upload and auto spots being on the PoTA website.

28
00:01:20.719 --> 00:01:24.239
<v Speaker 1>I don't have to do anything else, so it works

29
00:01:24.400 --> 00:01:26.680
<v Speaker 1>very well. Been using this for about the past six

30
00:01:26.719 --> 00:01:30.200
<v Speaker 1>months or so. And I found a couple of bugs

31
00:01:30.239 --> 00:01:32.760
<v Speaker 1>early on, and I submitted a bug report through the

32
00:01:32.799 --> 00:01:35.400
<v Speaker 1>app and they fixed it within like forty eight hours.

33
00:01:35.560 --> 00:01:38.079
<v Speaker 1>So they're very active in the community. They're very willing

34
00:01:38.480 --> 00:01:41.200
<v Speaker 1>to listen to feedback from Ham Radio operators like myself

35
00:01:41.239 --> 00:01:43.560
<v Speaker 1>and everybody else. And you can get into the forums

36
00:01:43.560 --> 00:01:46.040
<v Speaker 1>and chat about stuff and do future requests and whatnot.

37
00:01:46.079 --> 00:01:48.200
<v Speaker 1>So let's go. I'm excited to show you guys this

38
00:01:48.239 --> 00:01:55.200
<v Speaker 1>app today. Today's video is sponsored by Ham Radio. Prep

39

<v Speaker 1>save a twenty percent discount off of all of their

41
00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:06.719
<v Speaker 1>the description below. This is the log There's all the

42
00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:09.000
<v Speaker 1>logs I've put into this app since I started using it,

43
00:02:09.759 --> 00:02:11.759
<v Speaker 1>And again, this is on my phone. You're the screen

44
00:02:11.800 --> 00:02:14.000
<v Speaker 1>you're looking at right now. Is on my phone. So

45
00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:16.719
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna go to a new log book and I'm

46
00:02:16.719 --> 00:02:22.400
<v Speaker 1>gonna put case five h towb at US three O

47
00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:26.319
<v Speaker 1>one three twenty twenty five oh three oh five. I

48
00:02:26.319 --> 00:02:30.360
<v Speaker 1>think today's fifth, Yes, Today's fifth, and then I name

49
00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:32.039
<v Speaker 1>my logs that way. You can name it whatever you

50
00:02:32.039 --> 00:02:34.960
<v Speaker 1>want to, obviously, because that's back from the day where

51
00:02:34.960 --> 00:02:36.840
<v Speaker 1>you had to name it a certain format to send

52
00:02:36.879 --> 00:02:39.159
<v Speaker 1>it to the uploaders at Poda. But now you can

53
00:02:39.240 --> 00:02:41.360
<v Speaker 1>upload your own logs at Poda. It doesn't matter. So

54
00:02:41.400 --> 00:02:44.280
<v Speaker 1>you can see there, I've got Poda Soda Worldwide, Flora fauna,

55
00:02:44.360 --> 00:02:48.319
<v Speaker 1>and Iota Islands on the air, Okay, and there's actually

56
00:02:48.319 --> 00:02:51.199
<v Speaker 1>more than that that it'll do. So I got Poda

57
00:02:51.319 --> 00:02:53.840
<v Speaker 1>right there. I'm gonna find my park, which I already

58
00:02:53.879 --> 00:02:55.439
<v Speaker 1>know where my park is, but if you don't, if

59
00:02:55.439 --> 00:02:57.560
<v Speaker 1>you're at a new park, you just click on find

60
00:02:57.599 --> 00:03:01.840
<v Speaker 1>my park, click the park that's that you want, Galveston

61
00:03:01.879 --> 00:03:04.560
<v Speaker 1>Island State Park. I'm gonna put my frequency is twenty

62
00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:07.159
<v Speaker 1>one dot three fifty because that's where I tune my

63
00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:10.680
<v Speaker 1>intended to. But it might change, and I don't like

64
00:03:10.719 --> 00:03:14.919
<v Speaker 1>the fact that it requires you to put the frequency

65
00:03:14.919 --> 00:03:16.680
<v Speaker 1>in I wish you could just put the band in

66
00:03:17.199 --> 00:03:19.280
<v Speaker 1>and then when you do the auto spot you need

67
00:03:19.319 --> 00:03:22.919
<v Speaker 1>the frequency obviously, but we'll do that here in a minute.

68
00:03:22.960 --> 00:03:25.439
<v Speaker 1>So the grid looks good, I'm gonna go create logbook

69
00:03:26.159 --> 00:03:28.319
<v Speaker 1>and there I am right there. Over on the right

70
00:03:28.360 --> 00:03:30.719
<v Speaker 1>hand side. We see all the spots. You can look

71
00:03:30.759 --> 00:03:34.560
<v Speaker 1>at the spots there. I can change band. I can

72
00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:38.840
<v Speaker 1>see all the fifteen meters spots right there. Some CWNFT eight.

73
00:03:38.919 --> 00:03:42.400
<v Speaker 1>There's a sideband one KA five CRL is on twenty

74
00:03:42.479 --> 00:03:45.520
<v Speaker 1>one dot two eighty one. He's in Texas. I doubt

75
00:03:45.560 --> 00:03:48.039
<v Speaker 1>I can hear him. You never know. I'm looking at

76
00:03:48.039 --> 00:03:50.080
<v Speaker 1>my radio. I'm not seeing that right now. But anyway,

77
00:03:50.159 --> 00:03:52.400
<v Speaker 1>so you can get spots there. Go back to log

78
00:03:52.759 --> 00:03:55.919
<v Speaker 1>it's got a mapping feature obviously. Once I start putting

79
00:03:55.960 --> 00:03:57.800
<v Speaker 1>logs in, it'll have the map. So let's do a

80
00:03:57.840 --> 00:03:59.919
<v Speaker 1>couple of contacts and see what this looks like here.

81
00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:04.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna go find a frequency. Keilo Charlie five Hotel

00:08:51.919 --> 00:08:53.960
<v Speaker 1>good to work. You get sounded good from the mobile

150
00:08:54.000 --> 00:08:57.279
<v Speaker 1>station seventy three this afternoon. And that's how it's working. Right.

151
00:08:57.279 --> 00:08:59.919
<v Speaker 1>There is a great app. I'm gonna work this up.

152
00:09:00.000 --> 00:09:01.799
<v Speaker 1>Want to work this pile up. So let me stop that.

153
00:09:02.360 --> 00:09:05.240
<v Speaker 1>After all of that, when you go to open this,

154
00:09:05.240 --> 00:09:07.799
<v Speaker 1>this is a web page from my computer. This is

155
00:09:08.080 --> 00:09:10.519
<v Speaker 1>not the app anymore. So everything I just put into

156
00:09:10.559 --> 00:09:16.320
<v Speaker 1>the app is trackable right here under log contacts. It's

157
00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:19.000
<v Speaker 1>log contacts. It's kind of misleading, in my opinion. It

158
00:09:19.039 --> 00:09:22.000
<v Speaker 1>should say logbook or something right here, because log contact

159
00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:23.799
<v Speaker 1>makes it sound like you're starting a new log, which

160
00:09:23.799 --> 00:09:26.480
<v Speaker 1>you can do from that view. But the view we

161
00:09:26.480 --> 00:09:28.759
<v Speaker 1>were using that day at the park, this is a

162
00:09:28.759 --> 00:09:33.799
<v Speaker 1>couple days later I'm recording. This was this guy right here.

163
00:09:34.320 --> 00:09:36.960
<v Speaker 1>But even if I did two or three activations in

164
00:09:37.000 --> 00:09:41.000
<v Speaker 1>a row, this is one hundred and fifteen contact activation

165
00:09:41.080 --> 00:09:43.279
<v Speaker 1>I did from Galveston Island State Park the day before

166
00:09:44.080 --> 00:09:47.000
<v Speaker 1>this one that you were watching the day before the app.

167
00:09:47.320 --> 00:09:49.759
<v Speaker 1>I used the app in both places, obviously, but this

168
00:09:49.879 --> 00:09:51.840
<v Speaker 1>was the day before, and then I recorded that video

169
00:09:51.919 --> 00:09:56.039
<v Speaker 1>this day right here. So all of your log books

170
00:09:56.039 --> 00:09:59.000
<v Speaker 1>are now on the web store or on the website

171
00:09:59.080 --> 00:10:02.639
<v Speaker 1>rather where you can access them real time after the fact.

172
00:10:02.960 --> 00:10:05.159
<v Speaker 1>You can go up here to leaderboard and it gives

173
00:10:05.200 --> 00:10:10.320
<v Speaker 1>you stats here. Contest mode tells you dates of stuff

174
00:10:10.320 --> 00:10:14.200
<v Speaker 1>in here. Community Chat. If there's other people chatting or

175
00:10:14.240 --> 00:10:16.720
<v Speaker 1>other people using the app at the same time you are,

176
00:10:17.080 --> 00:10:19.159
<v Speaker 1>you can come in here and chat with them. You know, again,

177
00:10:19.519 --> 00:10:23.279
<v Speaker 1>you need an Internet connection to use all of this part,

178
00:10:24.039 --> 00:10:27.679
<v Speaker 1>but it's got a lot of extra stuff in here

179
00:10:27.799 --> 00:10:30.879
<v Speaker 1>that you can make use of at different times, whether

180
00:10:30.960 --> 00:10:33.600
<v Speaker 1>you're out of park or after the fact. Or want

181
00:10:33.600 --> 00:10:36.559
<v Speaker 1>to log your contacts and you can just download. You

182
00:10:36.600 --> 00:10:40.440
<v Speaker 1>can just download that ADIF file from here and upload

183
00:10:40.480 --> 00:10:42.720
<v Speaker 1>it directly to the PoTA website or add it to

184
00:10:42.759 --> 00:10:45.080
<v Speaker 1>your own logbook, your master logbook that you keep on

185
00:10:45.120 --> 00:10:48.159
<v Speaker 1>a computer somewhere, so it's very easy to access the

186
00:10:48.200 --> 00:10:52.120
<v Speaker 1>file once you are finished with it, or you want

187
00:10:52.159 --> 00:10:53.960
<v Speaker 1>to add to it later or something like that. So
