Satellite profile

A pass lasts ten minutes. The log has to keep up.

An antenna in one hand, the phone in the other. kQSO wants the call, report and locator on one line and knows the rest from the satellite.

One log per pass

You pick the satellite when you create the log. It sets the uplink and downlink bands and the satellite's name in the ADIF. On linear birds you switch ssb and cw.

Call, report and locator. An empty Enter saves.

  • Suggestions from a database of about 5,300 satellite operators' calls with locators.
  • Dupes are checked per satellite.
  • A map of the pass's locators, offline.
  • The QSOs carry the uplink and downlink frequencies, so Wavelog knows them after the push.

On an e-ink phone too

The e-ink display mode is black and white, with no animations and thick borders, so it reads well in the sun. It is tuned on the Mudita Kompakt (480×800), where kQSO runs as the APK from GitHub. Turn it on in Settings → Display.
