There will be many other FOC calls on the air all month from outside the UK, including some exotic locations such as 4X, 5B, 5T, 7Q, A6, HZ, KH6, V3 and VQ9.

FOC QSO Party - 22 September 2012

FOC is pleased to present the FOC QSO Party. This event is open to all radio amateurs world-wide. Its aim is to encourage the use of, and excellence in, Morse code. The FOC QSO Party is not a contest but an activity day in memory of Bill Windle, a past Chairman of FOC who was very keen that we should all be as active as possible on the bands.

HamQTH and new server

Thanks to your donations, I could buy much better server. Now HamQTH VPS (virtual private server) has 3GB RAM and 90GB HDD. The old server has only 1GB RAM. I did tons of optimization but last few months the server was overloaded most of the time.

I'm going to move HamQTH to new server tomorrow (2012-09-12) early morning local time (around 02:00 UTC). It will be offline for 30 minutes or so. I already tried to move whole database (almost 4GB),users data (over 15 000 files), small programs which are running on background like ADIF import, FCC daily transaction import, DXCC XML search, utility that collects spots from RBN and DX cluster, another utility that reads spots directly from DX spider data files and do some statistics (DXCC, LoTW, eQSL) before stores it into database. Also tried to move scripts like auto backup, download eQSL, LoTW and DXCC tables etc. It worked quite well but I had to do some tweaks because new server is running on Ubuntu 12.04 server with MySQL 5.5. Older server has Ubuntu 10.04 with MySQL 5.1 installed.

I must say, new sever is far faster than the old one. I did some tests and it's excellent. From 3GB of memory I gave 1.8GB only to MySQL to cache indexes and data. So please fingers cross. I'll need that. 

I would like to thank you for donations. Without them, it wouldn't be possible to buy this new server. Now I can add more new functions because I won't be limited with 1GB of RAM. Thank you!!

New version of HamQTH.com released

New version of HamQTH.com is online!

News:

• last 5 uploaded logs are stored and available for download - another backup for your QSO
• IOTA and POWER fields added to logsearch
• new log upload page for logging software developers created, more in developers section
• a few layout improvements
• developers section improved
• uploading images improved
• a few bugs fixed 

It seems that HamQTH server needs upgrade which costs $300. I already have $180 and need $120. It would be great if you could make small donation. Thank you!

HamQTH one year anniversary

What happened during our first year? How was HamQTH improved?

Information about new free ham radio call book was published on 29 of June 2011. After that, I got a lot of databases from users, who like the idea of HamQTH, and imported it. Thank to them, the database had more than 1 300 000 call signs.  A month or so later, I created XML access for logging programs. First log, that used it was DFHLog from Jesus, EA7DFH. He was faster than me! After DHFLog, XML search supported also CQRLOG. Not so many programs, but it was the beginning.

CQRLOG website is back online!

New CQRLOG website almost finished. Now it's running on Drupal 7 with ZeroPoint theme. We also added a few modules to improve our forum. Unfortunately we had to remove a few modules which was incompatible with this Drupal version like WebFile manager(provided download counter etc.). Now have to fix all donwload links and do some design tweaks.
What fo you thing about new CQRLOG home page? Do you like it? Please let us know. Thank you!
