Record management¶
Note: Any modifications made to the records are permanent. Users should make sure they keep up-to-date backups.

A new QSO can be added by either:

button in the toolbar. - Pressing
Ctrl + R

A dialog window will appear where details of the QSO can be entered (see
figure:edit_record). Note that the current date and time
are filled in automatically. When ready, click OK
or press the Enter key to save the
changes.
Callsign lookup¶
PyQSO can also resolve station-related information (e.g. the operator’s
name, address, and ITU Zone) by clicking the Callsign lookup
button adjacent to the Callsign data entry box. Note that the user must
first supply their qrz.com or hamqth.com account information in the preferences dialog
window.

An existing record can be edited by:
