Information about the query tool

This page has been automatically translated. Errors may occur.

The query tool is optimized exclusively for the computer (used primarily with a keyboard) for quick input and is maintained by OE8CXC (Sergio).
If you have any questions/suggestions for improvement, please contact me.

It’s more or less all self-explanatory. You fill the call sign fields with the full call sign including prefix and suffix and rapport and confirm the entry with the “Add” button or by pressing the ENTER key.

At the beginning of each query, the operator must always be entered (your own call sign).
If you enter the data using the tool afterwards, the date can also be changed.

ALL data remains saved locally immediately after entry (in the case of reports after “Add” or pressing the ENTER button) and remains on the device until it is deleted by pressing the RESET button.


General information about the query

  • A report is only saved when it has been saved using “Add” or pressing the ENTER key.
  • It is advisable to always do the query exactly from top to bottom (the districts are sorted alphabetically).
  • At the end under “Other” any stations from other districts/abroad are entered, even latecomers!
    It generally doesn’t matter in which district a station is entered, because at the end all reports are summarized.

Nationwide

The nationwide query tool is used to query the relay network.

  • You must also select the “Entry point” field.
    • The entry point is preselected for all districts of the state (since many get on at the same entry point)
  • Enter any special features under the “Other” field (e.g. new call sign, etc.)
  • You can quickly search for a district using the normal browser search (CTRL+F)
    • Normal districts have a # in front of them (so if you want to search for Klagenfurt Land, you have to search for #KL
    • Districts in which the capital is located have 2x # in front of it.
      • ##W for Vienna
      • ##K for Klagenfurt
  • Any stations from other districts/abroad are entered in the “Other” area

Nationwide

The nationwide query tool is used to query the implementers in Carinthia with the exception of Magdalensberg.

  • The respective converter is selected via the dropdown
  • All data is retained (even if you switch to another converter)
  • Enter any special features under the “Other” field (e.g. new call sign, etc.)
  • Any stations from other districts/abroad are entered in the “Other” area

Completing the query

The entire reports of all implementers (for the nationwide query) or all federal states (for the nationwide query) can be exported by simply clicking on the “Export” button and a text file (.txt) is then created.

You can either send this file to the query group or send it by email.
You can of course also copy out the content and send the reports as text.

Hotkeys (shortcut keys)

There are also hotkeys for faster input.

  • CTRL+8 -> OE8
  • CTRL+7 -> OE7
  • ALT+8 -> 5/8
  • ALT+9 -> 5/9
