This is the new Home Page for the FDLog software (7/2008).

This program cohesively ties together the stations in the Field Day activity, maintaining copies of all data on all computers via the (wireless) network. It allows the stations to choose bands knowing the status of the other stations in the group at a glance. It helps manage the number of transmitters active and allows everyone on the site to see "what's going on" at all times. The input system is designed for minimum keystrokes, and it is optimized for Field Day operations. It is capable of preparing nearly the whole FD Entry form for ARRL submission, making it much easier to actually send in the results. More information is included in the Readme and Manual, accessible below.

FDLog is distributed under the GNU Public License. It is written in Python (which is available for no charge) and is of course itself available at no charge. In addition to synchronizing databases over the wireless network, it synchronizes the time clock in FDLog.

FDLog was developed on Windows 2000, but has been used on XP, Linux and on the Macintosh. It is compatible with Python versions 2.4 through 2.6. get Python here∞

This is the home of the current development version. It has a few improvements beyond the previous version. This version also includes the mini web server and the GPS host time sync software. The 7/2008 fdlog.zip file is the after-FD 2008 version.

6/2009 Update version 1.47 is below in the fdlog147 zipfile. This version is beta code - not yet thoroughly tested. The improvements were minor. The new complex GOTA scoring is not implemented. The logging is fine, the final report does not yet handle the extra points for coaching, etc.
