Your League: TQSL 2.0 Software Released for Logbook of The World

A new version of the TQSL software for use with Logbook of The World (
<http://www.arrl.org/logbook-of-the-world> LoTW) is available, and it has
major changes. This latest update,  <http://www.arrl.org/tqsl-download> TQSL
2.0, has been revamped to combine TQSL-Cert and TQSL into a single program,
adds additional documentation for certificate operations, and includes a
new, task-oriented user interface. Where previous versions had two icons on
your desktop -- TQSL and TQSL Cert -- the new version has just one. You'll
now be able to log onto your user account from TQSL. In addition, icons
within the TQSL user window are larger and easier to identify.

With v 2.0, you get auto-uploading of TQ8 log files and TQ5 certificate
requests. In addition, there's automatic dupe checking to prevent previously
uploaded QSOs from being uploaded again, saving LoTW server resources. TQSL
2.0 will check for updates in the software and configuration files and
notify the user.

Once the user approves the update request, TQSL does the rest.

Individual station locations -- if you have more than one registered -- are
managed in a folder tree format. TQSL 2.0 also incorporates cross-checking
to prevent users from entering invalid zones, states or provinces. TQSL 2.0
will back up your call sign certificates, station locations and uploaded QSO
log, so it's easy to move from one computer to another or recover from a
hard disk failure.

It's easy to upgrade. Install TQSL 2.0, and the installer will automatically
uninstall older versions of TQSL while preserving your configuration
information. Several things will be obvious the first time you run the new
TQSL program. The user interface is completely different, with buttons to
carry out major operations. It also provides tabs to access operations for
Station Locations and Call Sign Certificates. The Station Location tab
displays your station locations and associated call signs.

If you're new to LoTW,  <http://www.arrl.org/instructions> instructions on
the ARRL website explain how to participate. More than 60,000 radio amateurs
use LoTW to confirm their contacts and to apply for awards, such as
<http://www.arrl.org/dxcc-faq> DXCC. Nearly 78 million contact confirmations
have resulted to date.
