Bands

Your callsign, Bands. This is the list of bands you use. Each person on a Cloudlog has their own ticks. Switching 160m off for you leaves it on for everyone else.

The page opens with a count of how many bands are switched on for logging, and how many exist in total. The search box finds a band by name, by the frequencies in the row, or by group. Press / and the cursor goes straight there. Active Only hides the ones you have switched off.

Picture needed: bands.png The Bands table. Active column, the band name, two or three award columns, and the SSB, Data, and CW frequencies. The Toggle All row at the bottom should be in the shot.

The Active column

Active is the first tick. With it on, the band appears in the Band dropdown when you log a contact, in Contest Logging, and in the bandmap. With it off, the dropdown is shorter. A contact already logged on that band stays in the log.

The Group column is how that dropdown is split: HF, VHF, UHF, and the rest. Activate All and Deactivate All, at the bottom, are for an administrator. They turn every band on or off for the logging dropdown.

Award columns

CQ, DOK, DXCC, IOTA, POTA, SIG, SOTA, Counties, VUCC, WAS, and WWFF are the awards. A tick means that award's band list includes this band. Untick DXCC on a band you do not chase countries on, and that band leaves the DXCC filters. The contacts remain.

An award only offers a band that is Active and ticked for that award. Toggle All, the row at the bottom, turns one award on or off for every band. Enable All Awards and Reset Awards, above the table, do the same for every award at once. A row flashes while the tick is saving.

The three frequencies

SSB, Data, and CW are a frequency for that band, stored in hertz. Pick the band and the mode while the frequency box is empty, and Cloudlog fills in the matching one. USB and LSB use the SSB frequency. Anything that is not CW or SSB uses the Data frequency.

Editing those numbers, and Create a band, are for an administrator. Most stations never need a new row. The list already covers HF through the millimetre bands.
