Hello everyone,

I’m sure this question has been asked many times, but I couldn’t find the answer.

What is the easiest way to retrieve the QSO history of a specific chaser?

Thanks

Download your entire log as .csv
Search for the callsign in excel or any spreadsheet.

That’s one way.

Hi Fraser,
How can I download the entire CSV of the chasers’ QSOs?

Thank you

Ok, now I understand. I mis-read your post. :disappointed:

If it’s not your account you cannot do that. You could ask the account owner to download their logs and send it to you.

Err, yes you can. (Unless I have misunderstood the question).

Go to www.sotadata.org.uk/en/logs/chaser/CALLSIGN and click on Download Complete Log.

Yes indeed - it was very helpull for my logbook digitizing act^^

  • though i wonder why you have to manually enter/change the callsign in the URL instead in a searchfield - as one was only supposed to see their own log…

Hi Richard,

It seems to be working.
Thank you for the solution.

From the Honour Rolls you can click on a callsign and it takes you to their statistics page (from where you can click through to the chaser logs and download as above). So I don’t think it’s meant to be a secret!

I discovered some time ago the URL manipulation suggest above for viewing an arbitrary chaser log.

I don’t pretend to know why the OP wants to do this. However, here’s one reason why I’ve done so:

Since partaking in the 2024 10 m Challenge as a semi-committed chaser, I can’t help noticing that there are a small number of chasers who can regularly be heard having “phantom” QSOs with activators who are either not present at their spotted frequency, or who are operating at that frequency but whom the chaser quite obviously cannot hear at all.

It’s been rather illuminating to compare the chaser’s log with the log of the activation in cases where this is observed.

I’ve recorded in my written notes a few instances where the chaser in question logged the QSO but the activator did not and, further, the possibility of the activator having merely failed to log the QSO can be ruled out, as I was able to copy the activator and distinctly heard him not to have the QSO which the chaser logged!

Hi Matt,

Very interesting thought.

thats actually true! - thanks for mentioning, havent found it that way yet
I think the fact that i found changing the URL faster/easier speaks for it self when it comes to search functionality in the database.

You’re right Richard, I keep forgetting you can do this.
