Wavelog

It’s cold outside, snow has fallen. So we go back in our shacks where it’s warm and cozy (depends on transmit power). With this major release there are awesome new features regarding DXcluster, improvements for color impaired hams and - sure thing - a lot of bugfixes and improvements. The new DXcluster, developed by SP9SPM, is a really big jump for Wavelog and brings a sophisticated Cluster directly into your browser. It allows filtering, not only for bands but also for POTA/SOTA/WWFF Spots, New DXCCs, Contest and so on. The DXmap directly inside the cluster makes spots visible for your next hunting. This release also contains a major change in colors for QSO markers as well as maps. A third color was introduced to user settings and colors are now handled consistently for the three possible QSL states: not worked, worked (but not confirmed) and confirmed. Please check your user settings and adjust colors accordingly. In addition to that a new theme was added to support operators with red/green impairment. This adjusts the colors for QSL markers in logbook and QSO views. In addition to the new DXcluster we also introduce the DXwaterfall which can be enabled in your user options. The waterfall shows all current spots in your band and makes it super easy to find the spots on the QRG. Test it out!
