QSLs

qsls is simple cli program for converting adif files, sorting QSOs and exporting records for printing. Converting to PDF is done by LaTeX.

Usage

Write a LaTeX template and following program will generate sorted QSLs from ADIF

qsls export -a YourAdif.adif -o PDFOutput.pdf

Basic Parameters
-a	input adif file
-o	output PDF file
-s	advanced sorter (DXCC sorting)
--template	LaTeX template file

Templating

qsls uses Go build-in text/template package. Simple struct is carried to the template:

{
  "QSLs": [
    {
      "Callsign": "OM3XXX",
      "QSLVia": "OK7XXX",
      "QSOs": {
        "Band": "40m",
        "Freq": "7.140",
        "Mode": "SSB",
        "RstSent": "59",
        "Time": "2020-03-19T07:22Z"
      }
    } 
  ],
  "User": {
    "var": "Variables specified in config"
  }
}

Simple example of LaTeX template can be found here and running qsls export -a example/example.adif -o example/qsls-output.pdf --template example/template.tex will create this PDF

Sorting

qsls can sort either by alphabet or by DXCC packets. To see how the final QSOs will be sorted use qsls show

Config

Default config file is located in ~/.config/qsls/cfg.json

{
  "data-dir": "/home/ham/.config/qsls/data",
  "template": "/home/ham/.config/qsls/qsls-template.tex",
  "user-var": {
    "qth": "Your QTH"
  },
  "prior-prefixes": ["^OM", "^OK"]
}

All files in config must be absolute. Running command with --save-config saves supported configuration into config file.

template

template is LaTeX that will be templated with golang text/template package. More about templating

user-var

user-var is used in templating. Values can be accessed by {{ index .User "qth" }}

prior-prefixes

prior-prefixes is ordered list of regular expressions. If callsign (or prefix in advanced mode) matches the expression it will be sorted before other callsigns (or prefixes).

OK7XXX OM2OML OK8XXX OH2STA KW1TLK 9A3ESR IT2LPO ZA2LPA

with "prior-prefixes": ["^OK", "^9A"] will be sorted as

OK2OML OK8XXX 9A3ESR IT2LPO KW1TLK OH2STA OM2OML ZA2LPA
