TouCans QSO DB: Lab Book

 Project TouCans just got a major database upgrade! The QSO records that KO6BTY and I log from field activations can now be appended directly from our GitHub CSV files instead of regenerating the entire SQLite database. This new method—based on an approach I first saw in Simon Willison’s video—keeps local data editable while automatically merging in the latest contacts from the cloud.

Video QSL Card that Explains as It Goes N4GO de KD0FNR at US-0575, San Francisco Maritime National Historic Park

You can click the play button on the lower lefthand control panel to animate the map so you can see the QSOs as they occurred. QSO/RBN  Map for the 2025-05-20 KD0FNR US-0757 POTA Activation
