Logging contacts

Every contact you log counts toward your standing Intel Ops. Contacts made on the air can also count toward missions, pins and promotion.

  1. Open the Logbook and choose to add a contact.
  2. Enter the callsign. ARSC looks up the station and fills in grid and state when it can, but only into empty fields.
  3. Enter the date and time in UTC, band, mode and any report, then save. The form stays open so you can add the next one.
  • A contact over an internet link such as EchoLink or IRLP is logged and counts toward Intel Ops, but not toward missions or the 50 on-air contacts for Corporal.
  • Without a connection, drafts are kept on your device and sent when you are back online. You can also export your log as ADIF.
  • You can import an ADIF file, or connect your QRZ logbook on the Account page. QRZ sync is one way: contacts come from QRZ into ARSC, never the other way.
  • From a pin on the map for a POTA or DX station, Log a contact opens the form already filled in.
  • You can correct or remove a contact later. Credit follows the correction.
