Map every QSO in an ADIF log
Drop the log and the map shows each contact at its Maidenhead grid square, with a line along the great circle from your station. Low HF, high HF and VHF-and-up QSOs have their own colours.
Where each QSO goes
The contact’s grid square (GRIDSQUARE) places it; if the log has latitude and longitude instead, those are used. A QSO with neither is shown at the centre of its country, found from the DXCC number or the callsign — the note under the map says how many were placed that way.
Your station
Lines start from your own grid square (MY_GRIDSQUARE), the one used most in the log. If the log has none, the map shows the contacts without lines.
Only some of them
The map follows the filters above it: pick a band, a mode, a year or a country, or search for a call, and only those QSOs stay on the map. Click a dot to open that QSO.
Save it
Save the map as a PNG picture, 2400 pixels wide, or as an SVG that stays sharp at any size — for a club newsletter, a QSL page or a print.
Questions
- Does the map need the internet?
- No map service is used: the coastlines and borders are part of the page, from Natural Earth, so the map works offline and nothing about your log leaves the browser.
- Why are some dots at the middle of a country?
- Those QSOs have no grid square in the log. Logging the grid square — WSJT-X and most digital-mode programs do it automatically — puts them where the station really was.
