QSO into a Maidenhead grid

QsoGrid

Draw your Amateur Radio QSOs into a Maidenhead grid square map.

QsoGrid is a simple, command-line utility written in Python that processes an Amateur Data Interchange Format (ADIF) log file and generates a visual map highlighting all the unique Maidenhead grid squares worked.

This example processes the log file fred.adi, names the resulting image W6BSD-Grid.png, and sets the call sign to W6BSD:

qsogrid -a ~/tmp/fred.adi -o ./misc/W6BSD-Grid.png -c W6BSD -t "Worked Grids"
