*General Information
XPCOM incorporates a powerful internal logging function.
Many of the log entry items are automatically done
depending on the mode of operation.
The following information is ALWAYS entered for you.
1. Station Call Sign.
The station call is entered by using the F2 key or
in Packet or Pactor upon connect.
2. AMTOR Selcal
XPCOM automatically calculates the correct AMTOR
Selcal when the call sign has been entered via the
F2 Key or upon connect in Packet or Pactor.
3. Current Time in UTC.
4. Current Date in UTC.
5. Default 599 Signal reports.
Additionally, if you have AutoSearch selected ( see operating
parameters information under Setup Menu) any information
from a previous QSO will be carried over to the new entry.
This will carry over Comments, Name and QTH.
If you are using SAMS Radio Callbook, the Name and QTH
will automatically be entered.
NOTE
ONLY USE THE SAVE BUTTON OR CTRL L ONCE PER QSO.
OTHERWISE MULTIPLE ENTRIES WILL RESULT.

*Saving the Entry
The log may be saved one of three ways.

option "Save Log on Disconnect" is enabled
in the "Oper. Parms" Menu. The log entry
will automatically be saved when the link or
connect is terminated.

F3 Logbook screen.
3. By pressing CTRL-L at any time during program
operation. This will save the current log
information to disk.

button is used a NEW log entry is created.
The entry should only be "SAVED" once per QSO.

Editing of the Logbook may be done by selecting the
Logbook menu option under the MISC menu.
XPCOM will startup XPLOG and you may do any editing
required at this point.
