What is Hunterlog

Hunterlog is an application that allows you to browse the current POTA, SOTA, and other OTA program's spots, QSY your rig via CAT control, and log them to your master logger. Moreover, it will also keep track of the references you have worked in an internal database. This allows you to know at a glance if a spot is for a reference you need to work.

This project does NOT replace your master (or main) log or logging software. It's expected that you use one of the many excellent loggers: Log4OM, N3FJP's ACLog, Ham Radio Deluxe, Wavelog, etc.

_{This project was inspired by the excellent potaplus Chrome browser extension. If you have used that then this application should be very familiar.}

Features

• Quickly display and filter spots from POTA, SOTA, and other programs
• Track hunted parks, summits, and references
• Track QSO count with activators
• Log QSOs to your main logger via UDP or TCP connection
• Use CAT control to immediately jump to a spot
  • supports: FLRIG, RIGCTLD, and N3FJP's CAT API (more possible)
• Runs on multiple platforms

Installation

Currently, installation is completely manual. Download the zip file from the Release page for your operating system. Unzip the files to a place you will remember and run the executable.

Here's what that might look like if you extract the file to a folder named my_hunterlog_dir.

$ cd my_hunterlog_dir
$ tree /F
Folder PATH listing

C:.
│   hunterlog.exe
│   logging.conf
│
└───data
        continents.json
        sota_associations.json
        wwbota_continents.json

The data directory should be bundled with the zip. It and the files within it must be present when launching the executable file.

MacOS

Installation is the same as the other platforms; however, the executable is bundled into a .app file. The data folder and the log file are located within that bundle. You can see them by right clicking the .app file and clicking Show app contents

🚨 Critically, MacOS will quarantine the application because it is unsigned (no: I won't be buying a codesign certificate from Apple for $100 USD per year). Therefore you must run this command to allow the application to run:

xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine Hunterlog.app
