the only thing that seems to be missing with this is station locations for the TQSL to give credit for gridsquares, counties, cq zone, etc in LOTW. while some of those (currently) have no use in LOTW... things like States absolutely do... does Aether facilitate that in tqsl?
As a hunter you do not submit any logs to Parks on the Air. That's all done by the activator. For your regular log, you can submit whatever you want, whenever you want.
LOTW is such a dumpster fire to get to work in the first place, I could care less about changing locations. I did when I moved to Texas but that's about it.
If you use QRZ for logging you can easily change your temporary location. Select your QRZ logbook and go into the "Logbook Properties" tab. You can change your location on that page. Download your QSOs of the day into QRZ, then select those OSOs in QRZ to be downloaded into LoTW. Then select QRZ to download those QSOs into LoTW. LoTW will now show your temporary operating location reflecting an accurate grid, coordinates, etc. When you are back to operating out of your home station, don't forget to go back into QRZ and restore your home location.
Hi Mike...I have a question: I've been trying out Aether and MacLoggerDX. I must say that overall I am liking Aether much better in general...however, MacLoggerDX does have an option to put in SOTA and POTA information (summit/park references) into the logging process. My question: is it possible to enter POTA activation information directly into Aether and get the correct Parks references? Thanks Mike, Jim/AC3B
As an alternative and not having LoTW creds stored on QRZ, one can simply import the ADI file direct into your log. Ham radio dude passed that one along. Great video, BTW, didn't know Aether could sync that easily. Side note any reason why do you separate the log files in HAMRS, is it just to ease the upload processing? #hamHarder #POTAking
Mike, as always great video but can you explain the advantage of using HamRS in the field versus Aether especially if you are saving contacts to Aether once you are home? Thanks
Any way you know of to get the HAMRS log to a contesting format? This upcoming weekend is the New England QSO Party and I'm planning a POTA activation. I'm looking for a way to avoid two logs.
Aether is my actual logging software (only available on Mac). HAMRS isn't meant to be your main logging software. Think of it more as an electronic pencil and paper to quickly jot down callsigns in the field. It doesn't have any more purpose than that. From there, you would then export your .adif from HAMRS, to your main logging software. Be it Aether, Ham Radio Deluxe, N1MM, N3FJP, RUMlogNG, or the myriad of ham radio logging software that is out there. Then, from that logging software, so long as it has the capability to upload your contacts to LOTW, you can then upload them to LOTW. Now, you could also upload your .adif from HAMRS another way. You would still need to get the .adif onto your computer if you are using a mobile device. There is no direct path from HAMRS to LOTW. Once you have the .adif on a computer, you could then use the ARRL's nightmare of a program they call TQSL to upload the file to LOTW. I would try everything in my power to never have to use that pile of garbage they call software though. Hope that helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.
How could your pota log be correct home qth grid is different or does Itu Cq zone and Gridsquare really matter for loging maybe I'm just a stupid Sad Ham. Love the Negative and bully coments.
This was a great video. I have been wracking this problem in my head for a few days and it is a simple solution to all. Thanks for this.
This reinforces my decision to buy a new pencil and ARRL paper logbook 😂
Love the videos. Where in Aether can you see the park number? I only see it in HAMRS

Do I submit hunter logs individually if I get like one contact a day? Or can I submit them all from many days?
As a hunter you do not submit any logs to Parks on the Air. That's all done by the activator. For your regular log, you can submit whatever you want, whenever you want.
So you don’t change your location for LoTW when you activate?
LOTW is such a dumpster fire to get to work in the first place, I could care less about changing locations. I did when I moved to Texas but that's about it.

Hi Mike this video is about 2 years old do you still run aether or RunLogNG?? Which do you prefer?

How does qrz handle the difference between home grid square and the POTA grid square?
That is a great question. I honestly have no idea.

My thoughts exactly
How did you get your logs from HAMRS to all the other softwares? Did I miss something?
Any way you know of to get the HAMRS log to a contesting format? This upcoming weekend is the New England QSO Party and I'm planning a POTA activation. I'm looking for a way to avoid two logs.
Nope. Totally wasn’t designed for that and I’m honestly greatfull for its simplicity.
@@hamradiotube Agreed, love the program. Was just curious if it was already part of the back end.
Just learning about logs but why keep three separate logs, not counting Hamrs?
One is my own logbook (aether), some people log on QRZ, some log on LOTW, some don't log at all, and some use both.
Great question
What logging software would you use to do the same thing for Windows/PC?
Winlog32 try it, and it's for free
Another great video Mike and very useful to many I’m sure.. Thanks for taking the time to explain .
POTA on 🤙
Thanks 👍
Do you have to be a member of QRZ to allow the import directly from LoTW? I typically import my .adi into QRZ since I don't have a membership.
Not to import from LOTW to QRZ. The other way around, yes.
You mentioned in another video, but what do you title the file?
This is detailed in the POTA activators guide.
How would you get the FT8 contacts?
same way
@@hamradiotube Going to attend the next SLAARC club meeting. Finally get this hobby off the ground
so you are using two different logging programs? Hamrs and something else I have never heard of. W5CI
If I understand correctly you are using HAMRS in the field, then LOTW on your computer?
Sort of. Yes, HAMRS out in the field, then to my main logging software, Aether, then to LOTW and QRZ.
@@hamradiotube that sounds complicated W5CI
thank you..funny I seen my Brothers call in yer video...
Boom goes the dynamite!
Yes. Yes it does.
Dear Friend, thanks or your video. May I know it is possible for our product to get your review? Brand of Nextool sale on Amazon.
Mac application for logging...Ather?
Links in description. Aether.
Thanks for the spelling, didn’t see the link for it but found it through Mac, Thanks!
hola amigo micke good job 73
What is Aether, you are using HAMRS. this dont make any sense to me. I am using HAMRS but cant upload to LOTW with it.
Aether is my actual logging software (only available on Mac). HAMRS isn't meant to be your main logging software. Think of it more as an electronic pencil and paper to quickly jot down callsigns in the field. It doesn't have any more purpose than that.

I would try everything in my power to never have to use that pile of garbage they call software though. Hope that helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.
@@hamradiotube thanks for the explanation W5CI
should have made it known you need a QRZ subscription to do the one button cick.
Trying use a windows 11 laptop, and the rest
Never. I hate windows.
