A script to generate the satellites from LoTW

Saku made a shell script to do this a long time ago, but it stopped working because of changes in the LoTW page format. So, I redid it with comments to make it easier to change if the LoTW page changes again. I put my script in a file so I could easily run it whenever I needed. Here are the steps:

Rotor control with remote Raspberry Pi

Hi folks,
I'm Christian DL1ELU and have just installed CQRLOG 2.5.2. on Linux Mint 21.2 Cinnamon. Everything looks good so far, but I'm struggling with rotator control:
In the near future I'm going to control my rotator from a RaspberryPi that will sit on the tower (and do some other things like switching antennas, webcam etc.). On the RPi I have installed a software from here: https://www.clearskyinstitute.com/ham/G5500/

Rigctld not working

My rigctld has stopped working. I am using 2.6.0_122-Gtk2 Alpha. When I run whereis -b rigctld I get /usr/bin/rigctld /usr/local/bin/rigctld which is two diferent paths. Hamlib version in synaptic is 4.3.1-1 build 2. My WSJTX Hamlib version is 4.6. WSJTX rigctld works just fine. I tried switching the rigctls path in CQrlog to the WSJTX version with no luck. My guess is that somehow a second path has appeared and is causing rigctld to not work - how can I fic this?

Version mismatch in mysql raw files after OS reinstall

So I installed a new OS (Ubuntu 23.10) and my CQRLOG hasn't been used since Fedora in 2022. Mysql is showing the classic signs of a version mismatch with the native files. I don't have a mysqldump, but I have all the ADIFs from the various backup operations (after each use -- I always answsered yes to backing up).

So I need to somehow set CQRLOG to open with a fresh database so I can import that ADIFs.

Can anyone tell me how to do this? Do I just empty the database directory? Or something else. My mysql.err file ends with:

Macquarie Island VK0MQ entry says CE9 Antarctica is the DXCC Entity

Hi Folks,

I tried to manually change the entry and the log will not allow me to change CE9 to VK0.

I made a few attempts to fix, then tried one file change ( detailed below ) and decided I needed help.

Sorry for the rambling in the note below, it's how I keep up with what I try or find in 'fixit' mode. I don't want to upgrade the DXCC tables automatically until I fix the issue that causes lockout of the program. I would just like to add a line somewhere if that's possible.

My Program says 2022-07-05 Ver 2.6.0 (001) Gtk 2

Master for contest

Hi everybody,

I'm just wondering if there is a way to build a kind of a master log for contests.

Background: When I want to take part in a contest I have to create a new log for that one. Doing so I have to setup all the settings I had before. Including rig, name, address, and so on......
I would like to do that only once and when the time comes for the next contest just copy from the master. Just like "open -> save as"

Is there any way to do that?
