llog

Log software for HAM operators

Inspired by Ham2K for mobile devices.

This is mainly targets SOTA operators. The user case is that you have your computer with you, and nothing else. Not even a smartphone. You have your GPS receiver connected, and GPSd set up. The program connects to gpsd, and knows where you are. The closest SOTA summit is selected, and you can save your location just by one click.

There is an SQLite database where all logged information is saved.
