Can POTA data be added? #69

Closed rsuzuki0 closed 2 years ago

rsuzuki0 commented 2 years ago

Parks on the air log format is virtually the same as WWFF but some formats are different. For example, the US park references are K-NNNN in POTA where KFF-NNNN in WWFF. Uses of SIG_INFO, MY_SIG_INFO, etc. are parallel/analogous. Can --pota -p switches be added with these minor adjustments?

rsuzuki0 commented 2 years ago

For now, the POTA park reference can be set as if they are/were WWFF reference in the log file: mywwff kff-0802

Then run this: sed -e 's/WWFF/POTA/' -e 's/MY_SIG_INFO:8>KFF/MY_SIG_INFO:6>K/' WWFF_ADIF_FILE > POTA_ADIF_FILE

But it would be super nice if we could also specify mypota k-0802 in the input file and the output ADIF format controlled by the commandline switch...

Hello @rsuzuki0

Thank you for your interest in this and sharing this excellent enhancement idea. Do you have, by any chance, a link to the required POTA output file specification?

Are you a mac user? I planned to add Brew as a distribution vector. If yes, I could provide both features in the next release

I will get back into this in the coming days.

I find this page informative: http://morsel.info/?page_id=852 More clarification can be obtained from one of the POTA people. Their official documentation doesn't seem to go in full details.

Yes, I'm a Mac user. Brew would be nice, especially if it solves the unsigned warning, but I'm also ok with github distribution as-is.

@rsuzuki0

Hello OM,

I published tonight the final version of v0.1.4 with the POTA related enhancement. And the app can now be installed via Homebrew.

Let me know if it works as expected. Enjoy.

Thank you for your work. I just generated six ADIF files for my activations and sent them to the log manager. Hope they don't find any problem but will report back.

rsuzuki0 commented 2 years ago

I've been submitting my activation log to the area log manager and there has not been a complaint. So this seems working fine. Thank you!

By the way, I've been using a simple Makefile in the folder I generate ADIF files to make things simple. (I just renamed to Makefile.txt for the uploading purpose only.) Makefile.txt
