A basic logging facility in _WSJT-X_ saves QSO information to files
named +wsjtx.log+ (in comma-separated text format) and +wsjtx_log.adi+
(in standard ADIF format). These files can be imported directly into
other programs, for example spreadsheets and popular logging programs.
As described in the <<INSTALL,Installation>> and <<PLATFORM,Platform
Dependencies>> sections, different operating systems may place your
local log files in different locations. You can always navigate to
them directly by selecting *Open log directory* from the *File* menu.
More elaborate logging capabilities are supported by third party
applications like {jtalert}, which can log QSOs automatically to other
applications including {hrd}, {dxlsuite}, and {log4om}.
The program option *Show DXCC entity and worked before status*
(selectable on the *Settings | General* tab) is intended mostly for
use on non-Windows platforms, where {jtalert} is not available. When
this option is checked _WSJT-X_ appends some additional information to
all CQ messages displayed in the _Band Activity_ window. The name of
the DXCC entity is shown, abbreviated if necessary. Your "`worked
before`" status for this callsign (according to log file
+wsjtx_log.adi+) is flagged with a single character and a change of
background color, as follows:
[horizontal]
!:: default color bright purple: -- New DXCC entity
~:: light pink: -- You have already worked this DXCC entity but not
this station
:: green: -- You have previously worked the calling station
In this respect the program does not distinguish between modes, but it
does differentiate between bands.
_WSJT-X_ includes a built-in +cty.dat+ file containing DXCC prefix
information. Updated files can be downloaded from {cty_dat} when
required. If an updated +cty.dat+ is present in the logs folder
and readable, it will be used in preference to the built-in one.
The log file +wsjtx_log.adi+ is updated whenever you log a QSO from
_WSJT-X_. (Keep in mind that if you erase this file you will lose all
"`worked before`" information.) You can append or overwrite the
+wsjtx_log.adi+ file by exporting your QSO history as an ADIF file
from another logging program. Turning *Show DXCC entity and worked
before status* off and then on again will cause _WSJT-X_ to re-read
the log file. Very large log files may cause _WSJT-X_ to slow down
when searching for calls.
