qrzlogger

This script is a QRZ.com command line QSO logger. It does the following:

  1. asks the user for a call sign
  2. displays available call sign info pulled from QRZ.com
  3. displays additional info on country, continent and LotW upload date of the call
  4. checks if the country has not been confirmed via LotW yet and alerts the user
  5. displays all previous QSOs with this call (pulled from QRZ.com logbook)
  6. asks the user to enter QSO specific data (date, time, report, band etc.)
  7. uploads the QSO to QRZ.com's logbook
  8. fetches the just uploaded QSO from QRZ.com for review
  9. starts again from 1)
