Each applicant can at any time, see the statistics of each activator, check the records loaded into the database about all or only about their QSO, check the fulfillment of the terms of the diploma programs by entering their callsign in special query windows.

When the request is received, the RCWCLOG service checks the QSO in the database and checks the fulfillment of the conditions of the diplomas for the entered callsign. The result of the check is displayed in the form of a table.

With each new filling of any log in the service base, the tournament table of activity days is automatically generated, the task of which is to allocate seats among the participants at the current time.

The RCWCLOG service interface is intuitive and does not require additional explanations. The rules of the service can be found on the club's website.
