LOTW

Logbook of the World is an innovative QSL verification system designed by the ARRL that can be used to validate your QSOs for ARRL and other awards. It is free to use and is available for Linux, Windows and Mac OSX. Unfortunately, the Linux RPM versions available on the ARRL website are only available for Fedora Core 3, and this version of Linux is well out of date. I've added AA6E's modifications to the source code provided by the ARRL, updated the dependency lists in the spec files, then re-packaged it all into RPM files for Fedora Core 6. For your safety, these files are all gpg signed as michael@mswindustries.us (ID 1E08D90C).

If you run FC6 (Fedora Core 6) and want to use LOTW (ARRL's Logbook of the World), install the two following RPM files. If you get errors about wxGTK, wxGTK-devel, or wxGTK-gl missing, use the command (from root) "yum install wxGTX wxGTK-devel wxGTX-gl" (or just the ones that are denoted as missing on your system)

• TrustedQSL-1.11-1.i386.rpm (sig)
• tqsllib-2.0-1.i386.rpm (sig)

(Non-geeks can ignore the following) For those wanting to monkey with the source code, here are the source RPMS. You will have to build the tqsllib package first since TrustedQSL's build depends on tqsllib-devel.

• TrustedQSL-1.11-1.src.rpm (sig)
• tqsllib-2.0-1.src.rpm (sig)
