Wavelog

Dear Wavelog Community

Today is a very special day. Not only are we releasing version 2.0, but Wavelog is also celebrating its first anniversary. Exactly one year ago — on February 1st, 2024 — our very first version launched and so much has happened since then. With every release, we’ve continued to develop Wavelog, implemented your feedback and improved the software step by step. Thank you to everyone who has supported us along the way — whether by providing code, reporting bugs or simply using Wavelog. None of this would have been possible without your help!

Wavelog version 2.0 introduces a major new feature that many of you have been requesting for months — and now it’s finally here. Wavelog now supports clubstations and a more convenient organization of special-callsign activities. This feature allows clubs or teams to set up a Wavelog instance for its members, where each member has their own account and can log in to the shared clubstation account as needed. Check out our Wiki for a detailed guide on how to use and set up this feature >> here <<.

Once again, a heartfelt thank-you to everyone who has contributed - whether by code, bugfixes or translations. It’s incredibly valuable and we’re proud to have such a strong and active community. We truly appreciate you being part of this journey.

Looking ahead with excitement and Vy 73
