While at Galveston Island State Park for Parks on the Air today, we're going to be using the World Radio League logging software. One of the most famous questions we get, we as YouTubers get in multiple videos that we do, is what logging software is that? And that's probably going to be the name of this video too. What logging software in that? World Radio League is a web based logging platform that works on Android and iOS as well as Windows, Mac and everything else because it's web based.
When you download the app, which is free, you log your you create a potolog and you can use it for Soda, Winterfield Day, several other templates as well. And when you are back, if you're out of Wi Fi range or sell coverage range, you create the log on your smartphone. You put all your data in the log.
At the end of your activation, when you go back, it auto uploads the log to the website, and then you go to the website, log into your account, which is also free, and download any logs you have and they're easy to upload from to the Parks on the Air website from there. So we're gonna take a look at that, and I'm gonna go through some of the features of the app today. I really like this app.
It does self spotting for PODA, Like I just type in where I'm at, what state park I'm at, what the number is, what frequency I'm on, and I click auto upload and auto spots being on the PoTA website. I don't have to do anything else, so it works very well. Been using this for about the past six months or so. And I found a couple of bugs early on, and I submitted a bug report through the app and they fixed it within like forty eight hours.
So they're very active in the community. They're very willing to listen to feedback from Ham Radio operators like myself and everybody else. And you can get into the forums and chat about stuff and do future requests and whatnot. So let's go. I'm excited to show you guys this app today. Today's video is sponsored by Ham Radio.

the description below. This is the log There's all the logs I've put into this app since I started using it, And again, this is on my phone. You're the screen you're looking at right now. Is on my phone. So I'm gonna go to a new log book and I'm gonna put case five h towb at US three O one three twenty twenty five oh three oh five. I think today's fifth, Yes, Today's fifth, and then I name
my logs that way. You can name it whatever you want to, obviously, because that's back from the day where you had to name it a certain format to send it to the uploaders at Poda. But now you can upload your own logs at Poda. It doesn't matter. So you can see there, I've got Poda Soda Worldwide, Flora fauna, and Iota Islands on the air, Okay, and there's actually more than that that it'll do. So I got Poda
right there. I'm gonna find my park, which I already know where my park is, but if you don't, if you're at a new park, you just click on find my park, click the park that's that you want, Galveston Island State Park. I'm gonna put my frequency is twenty one dot three fifty because that's where I tune my
intended to. But it might change, and I don't like the fact that it requires you to put the frequency in I wish you could just put the band in and then when you do the auto spot you need the frequency obviously, but we'll do that here in a minute. So the grid looks good, I'm gonna go create logbook and there I am right there. Over on the right hand side. We see all the spots. You can look at the spots there. I can change band. I can see all the fifteen meters spots right there. Some CWNFT eight.
There's a sideband one KA five CRL is on twenty one dot two eighty one. He's in Texas. I doubt I can hear him. You never know. I'm looking at my radio. I'm not seeing that right now. But anyway, so you can get spots there. Go back to log it's got a mapping feature obviously. Once I start putting logs in, it'll have the map. So let's do a couple of contacts and see what this looks like here. I'm gonna go find a frequency. Keilo Charlie five Hotel

in North Florida. Good to get you thirty three. Yeah, that's the other mic out there, right, all right, buddy, good to work. You get sounded good from the mobile station seventy three this afternoon. And that's how it's working. Right. There is a great app. I'm gonna work this up. Want to work this pile up. So let me stop that. After all of that, when you go to open this, this is a web page from my computer. This is not the app anymore. So everything I just put into
the app is trackable right here under log contacts. It's log contacts. It's kind of misleading, in my opinion. It should say logbook or something right here, because log contact makes it sound like you're starting a new log, which you can do from that view. But the view we were using that day at the park, this is a couple days later I'm recording. This was this guy right here.
But even if I did two or three activations in a row, this is one hundred and fifteen contact activation I did from Galveston Island State Park the day before this one that you were watching the day before the app. I used the app in both places, obviously, but this was the day before, and then I recorded that video this day right here. So all of your log books are now on the web store or on the website rather where you can access them real time after the fact.
You can go up here to leaderboard and it gives you stats here. Contest mode tells you dates of stuff in here. Community Chat. If there's other people chatting or other people using the app at the same time you are, you can come in here and chat with them. You know, again, you need an Internet connection to use all of this part, but it's got a lot of extra stuff in here that you can make use of at different times, whether you're out of park or after the fact. Or want
to log your contacts and you can just download. You can just download that ADIF file from here and upload it directly to the PoTA website or add it to your own logbook, your master logbook that you keep on a computer somewhere, so it's very easy to access the file once you are finished with it, or you want to add to it later or something like that.
