[LCC] To the select group of DXER's (this is food for thought) and sent to a BCC list (blind copy of email addresses)

Sun Apr 5 12:40:35 CDT 2015

What I like about clublog is the ability to look at stats from different
perspectives.......

for example let's look at a snap shot of my qsl charts.....

Near the center of the above image you will note the VU4CB (CW) contact
is flagged as Matched and OQRS is flagged

Being a more visual person than a plain numbers and data person this helps
me see quickly that
I could probably add this to my QSL totals rather quickly by using OQRS
In fact if we click on that OQRS marker it will actually take us to the
site to do that.....

from the above image we can see I have already requested that vu4cb send me
his qsl and I have already paid him
so I can now wait some more and / or go look for how long ago I sent that
request
and maybe send one more request  before deciding he is just a $$$ collector
and will not QSL   - which is rare by the way.

Something else (well there are many things I love about clublog) but
another one of them is......

DX Cluster spots from current activity tailored to what clublog shows I
need......
(yes there are many other ways to get need data, this is just one of them)

just a few ways I like using clublog,  no it ain't perfect
it is free and to me has a few useful tool sets

cheers!
