The work on this project started at the end of 2023 as a spin-off of the well-known amateur radio software Cloudlog. The four core developers – DF2ET, DJ7NT, HB9HIL and LA8AJA – who have pushed Cloudlog forward for months and years, decided to continue their work in a fork that led to Wavelog. Since its initial release on February 1, 2024, Wavelog has made tremendous progress in terms of stability and functionality. We are proud that Wavelog is developed by radio amateurs for radio amateurs, without commercial motives, but out of pure passion for the hobby. Every line of code is the result of hard work to continuously improve this piece of great code. Wavelog stands for its simplicity, powerful tools, and open-source code. As a web application, Wavelog offers the great advantage of being accessible from anywhere in the world. Whether on a professional server, rented webspace or a RaspberryPi at home, Wavelog makes it possible to manage your logbook anytime, anywhere. Try it yourself and experience improved web-based logging on your server.
Wavelog sits on top of a web server, commonly known as LAMP Stack which includes the
L inux operating system along with the
A pache web server,
M ySQL relational database, and the
P HP language.
Please note that hosting Wavelog requires a minimum understanding of LAMP and troubleshooting errors. Without this knowledge, users may find it challenging to manage the interface and connected services.

Some very basic information and explaination what Wavelog is and how it works.
Wavelog is essentially a self-hosted website that serves an HTML/JavaScript frontend (written and generated by a PHP backend) to manage data in a MySQL/MariaDB database. It allows radio amateurs all over the world to log and manage their QSOs on a web-based platform. This offers the advantage of making one’s hamradio career accessible from all devices and platforms connected to the internet. Additionally, the internet connectivity enables fully automatic synchronization with third-party services, namely LotW, QRZ.com, eQSL, HRDlog, Clublog, and QO-100 DX Club.
Logbooks are designed to be container or folder where you can group one or more locations to seperate them. The entire frontend is based on the active station logbook and shows only QSOs that are stored in locations which are linked to this logbook.
Locations are the various places you operate from. This can be your Home QTH, a fieldday or a SOTA summit. Each of these locations have various details which are different from each other. Like a /P suffix in the station call or another SOTA reference. Each time you operate from a new location you should create a new station location and link it with the active logbook.
