grid will map grid squares to place names and place names to grid squares. It can use the $mylat and $mylon values in the $HOME/.qrzlogin file as well to provide an origin for distance calculations. Also, an origin may be specified on the command line using the 'from' or 'de' keywords.

Compare LoTW last known upload date with your ADIF log files and lotw QSL report. Produces report of QSOs which should be confirmed, but are not.
A QSO is considered "should be confirmed" if it is in your log, and the remote station has a known LoTW upload date that is more recent than your log, and if there is no QSL record in the LoTW report.
Retreive your LoTW report from here, after editing YOURCALL and
YOURPASS to match your account:
https://lotw.arrl.org/lotwuser/lotwreport.adi?login=YOURCALL&password=YOURPASS&qso_query=1&qso_qsl=yes&qso_qsldetail=yes&qso_startdate=1950-01-01
The file downloaded will be "lotwreport.adi". Use this as the first parameter to lotwreportcheck.
Last known LoTW upload date is maintained in a list compiled by WD5EAE. wget is required to retrieve it. Source: http://www.wd5eae.org/LoTW_Data.txt
- only checks one QSO per date
- assumes ADIF log files are with one QSO per line like those produced by fldigi, WSJT-X, and xlog. LoTW report ADIF is handled separately.

Get information about the DXCC entity of a callsign or prefix. Uses
cty.dat file for DXCC information, which is the same format used by tools
like fldigi and xlog. Retrieve the file from
country-files.com. I prefer the Big
CTY version, which can be downloaded
here.
The default location to look for cty.dat is $HOME/.cty.dat (a hidden
dotfile). This can be made a symlink to your fldigi or xlog directory, or
another similar location.
Clublog most-wanted rank can be scraped using the mostwanted-scrape.sh
script. It will create a file with ranking information in
$HOME/.mostwanted.txt. The source of the ranking is the list here:
