DXA and the ARRL policy on real-time posting of log data

Benefits of real-time log posting

WHAT IS DXA?
DXA is an innovative web application that will allow DXers to view the current status and activities of the DXpedition in near-real-time. Within a few minutes after making a contact with the Dxpedition, the DXer is able to see confirmation of that contact entered in the expedition log. Information such as the callsigns logged in the last minute and in the last hour, and the bandmodes currently being worked by the DXpedition, are displayed in a simple, automatically-updated interface. The entire application runs within a standard browser--no software needs to be downloaded or installed (with the exception of a plug-in to play audio tracks).

When the DXpedition logs a QSO with you, a green square is illuminated in your table for the appropriate bandmode, confirming your entry in the log. You can see this green square actually turn on if you are logged into DXA when you make the QSO. Note that once you see the green square, there is no need for an insurance contact. Also, if you have a green square, you can be absolutely certain that you have not worked a pirate, since no pirate can turn on the green squares.

Please note that logging into the DXA window DOES NOT enter you in the DXpedition radio log. You must make your QSOs on the air; DXA merely confirms that these QSOs are in the DXpedition radio log.


The map in the DXA window shows the most recently logged callsigns in their DXCC positions, as well as a set of ellipses that show the predicted propagation. Red ellipses are expected to have the highest signal strength, black the lowest. The callsigns shown recently logged are not correlated with these band propagation ellipses.
If you wish, you can log in with your callsign (lower left corner), and see whether you are in the K7C log. It is not necessary to log in to see the activity of the DXpedition, but you must log in order to see your own personal bandmode table for logged contacts.

Please log in with only your callsign, not with a "/XX" suffix. DXA does not recognize "/XX".
