4. It's about the QSO's ● Fill out paper log entry for each QSO. ● Or, use a stand alone logging computer. ● Post expedition. – Consolidate multi-station logs. – Dedupe. – Fill out QSL's and send. – Answer snail mail requests about QSO's not in your log.

5. If its not in the log than it doesn't count. ● Logging is a system of computers (N1MM) ● Logs are duplicated across all computers. ● Unofficial logs are regularly updated to Clublog (or other). ● Post expedition. – Final log is uploaded to Clublog (or other). – OQSL is enabled. – Log is uploaded to LOTW. – Automatically generate requested paper QSL's. – Answer email requests about QSOs not in your log.

7. ● Key Component!! ● Your very own subnet ● Pre-configurable ● But which one? – Detachable antenna – Gargoyle compatible – Wired capable

8. ● Open source WIFI router software ● Runs on most routers ● Provides high end router capabilities that we need! – Repeater – Subnet separation. – Single outside node. – Easy to setup and configure – Firewall capable

10. ● Standard upload – Export ADIF log from master N1MM – Log into Clublog – Clear log and Upload new ADIF log ● Incremental upload – Export ADIF log from master N1MM – Split at last QSO uploaded – Log into Clublog – Upload/append split ADIF log Takes time from operating, Uses data expensive web pages. Low DXpedition priority = more DQRM

11. ● Install pre-configured ClubPi appliance – Plug power into ClubPi. – Use ClubPi Web interface to configure for your network and your ClubLog credentials. – Configure N1MM master to broadcast QSOs to ClubPi. – Verify Clublog by logging a test QSO in N1MM. – Select either scheduled batch uploads or real-time. Once set up, it's automatic = less DQRM. Low data overhead. Real-time and batch configurable.

14. ● A single QSO is about 100 bytes ● Internet overhead for 1 transaction is about 8KB (using ClubPi)

16. Take-aways: Use a Gargole Wifi router! Help Reduce DQRM! upload to ClubLog Use ClubPi to automate your uploads www.nx1p.com
