Hi everybody in the list from Pino ZP4KFX.

You might be interested in my DBLog, a logging program written in GAMBAS
which uses CWDAEMON and relational
data bases for storing datas and configurations.

The Beta release is on my site http://www.qsl.net/zp4kfx/Linux
 Comments and help are very apreciated.

                        Presentation of DBLog

DBLog is a logging program for radio amateurs based on a relational Data
Base.

It has been developed in Gambas, a sort of Visual Basic for Linux, and
the relational database PostgreSQL.

It should work also with MySQL and SQLite, but this has not been tested yet.

It allows to log QSOs and export a range of them in ADIF format.

It can read the radio frequency via CAT interface

It includes a CW Keyer based on cwdaemon.

The advantages of using a relational data base both for qso datas and
configuration datas are:

-- The code of DBLog is much simpler.

-- The user can do any kind of fancy query on datas using the standard SQL
   language.

-- The client-sever structure (PostgreSQL and MySQL only) allows a
multi-operator
   club station or DX expedition to have many operators logging into the
same log.
   The log server can even be remote.

-- data back-up can be done using the database features.

-- Other program can be used to analyse datas like psql, pgAdmin III, TOra
for
   PostgreSQL, or Emma, MySQL query browser, MySQL-navigator for MySQL.

-- Anybody can write other programs ( for digimodes, EME, Meteorscatter
etc.)
   who log into the same log, without the need of been integrated into
DBLog.


DBLog is using free software and it is released in source code under the GNU
GPL
licence, so anybody can modify it and improve it.

Beta testers and Gambas programmers are welcome !
