+  * I initially started to make notes of each day's activity and QSOs here, in the wiki
+    * Later I moved all diary entries to blog : for example : [[public:blog:2023:1]]
   * This became a chore, too many separate things to do during/after a QSO
   * I ditched the wiki-diary idea but want to have more of a record of QSOs, and other notes on condx etc. than a simple one line entry in the logbook

 I have also discovered that fldigi will automatically add each logged QSO to Xlog, if they are running on the same machine, which means I can now ensure my digimode QSOs are recorded alongside my CW and SSB QSOs.

+As of August 26th 2023 I no longer keep an electronic log.
+I have ceased LOTW uploads. QSLs are now **direct only** if anyone wants/needs confirmation of a QSO

 ==== LOTW ====
-While I was adding all my historical QSO data to an electronic log I decided to "join" the ARRL Logbook Of The World and add my QSO data. I did it in various stages, but I think I've now got all my QSO records uploaded to LOTW. This is mainly to assist others in their paper chasing goals, as I'm not generally interested in getting QSLs in order to claim awards (I've //only// got 84 DXCC "confirmed" on LOTW for "Mixed", with 65 in Phone and 65 in CW). If my uploads allow other people to reach targets, without me needing to write and post physical QSL cards, then it's easy enough to oblige with LOTW.
