Club Logbook
The ACURA club logbook puts every contact our members make on one map. First, members upload their logs. Then this page adds them all up. As a result, you can see total contacts, countries worked, a club Worked All States board, the bands we use most, and a friendly leaderboard. Each colored dot is a grid square that a member has worked, and each member gets their own color.

How the Club Logbook Works
To start, every logging program can save your contacts as an ADIF file. ADIF is the standard format that hams use to share logs, and you can read more about it at adif.org. Next, members upload that file on our Members Only page. The site then reads the callsign, band, mode, date, grid square, state and country of each contact. As a result, nothing else leaves your computer.
Add Your Contacts
- Export your log as an ADIF file (.adi) from your logging program, WSJT-X, QRZ Logbook or ARRL Logbook of the World.
- Open the Logbook Upload page and enter the Members Only password.
- Type your callsign, choose your file, and click Upload.
You can upload as often as you like. For example, many members upload once a month after a contest or a POTA trip. Contacts that are already in the club logbook are skipped, so nothing counts twice. In addition, logs from LoTW and QRZ include the country and state of each contact, so they count fully toward the club totals.
