Claus' NetLogger Elf

Program to create QSL cards from NetLogger QSOs.

This is a java command line application which reads the CSV exported QSO file from NetLogger. The program can then

• Create creates a PDF file with QSL cards.
• Create an ADIF file with your station information.
• Send ADIF records with your station information via UDP to other Logging programs.

Download the latest JAR at https://github.com/cniesen/NetLoggerElf/releases/latest

To run the program Java needs to be installed. Then use the command line java -jar NetLoggerElf.jar. In most cases double clicking the JAR file will run the program as well.

During the first run the "config.yml" file is being created and nothing else. This allows the configuration of the program to your personal needs.

Most likely you want to create your own qsl-template.jpg file. Use your favorite image editor to create an image with the same dimension.
