Why operators care
Its results depend on uploaded logs, callsign and entity mappings, privacy settings, and the rules of the award or expedition involved.
Set it up correctly
Upload clean ADIF data, review exceptions, keep source logs backed up, and follow the current confirmation or QSL instructions.
The common mistake
Using an online-log match as a substitute for the confirmation method required by an award.
Current regulations, service documentation, satellite status, software versions, and the complete station’s continuous-duty limits control. Online reports are observations, not guaranteed link performance.
