ShackLog v0.3.0 — callsign lookup

Type a call (or let spot autofill find one) and ShackLog now fills in the operator's name and location automatically, through a three-tier chain:

  1. Worked before — if the call is already in your log, your previous QSO's name/QTH/grid/state/country are reused. Your own log always wins.
  2. Offline country lookup — AD1C's cty.dat is bundled inside the binary: instant prefix → country / continent / CQ & ITU zones, no internet needed (Field-Day-proof).
  3. Online providers (new Settings → Lookup tab):
    • QRZ.com — requires their paid XML-data subscription
    • HamQTH.com — free account
    • callook.info — US calls, no account; enabled by default as a fallback

Looked-up details only ever fill empty fields at save — anything you type wins, and a late lookup result can never leak into the wrong QSO. The status bar previews what will be filled.

Also in this release (since v0.2.0): version shown in Help → About.
