TOMCAT is a huge database of loggings, covering Scandinavian (Finland / Norway) loggings from the OnLine Log system (OLL). Loggings can be viewed max five years backwards, the results are sorted by time descending. TOMCAT is located on the Kapsi server, and the logging data is updated periodically by our team.
TOMCAT is an online database so an Internet connection is required.
You can open TOMCAT from DATABASE BAR: click the SLIDER button so that you will see the standard TURTLE window and DATABASE BAR. Normally, you will see your current TURTLE version (TURTLE-YYYY-MM) in the middle of the bar. Move the mouse over that area and the TURTLE and MORE buttons can be seen. Click the MORE button and select TOMCAT from the popup menu.
You can also press ALT-T repeatedly to rotate TURTLE > USA TIS > CATBOOK > KOJE > TOMCAT.
TOMCAT shows Finnish and Norwegian MW DX loggings loaded from OLL ("Online Log"). TOMCAT uses a shadow copy of the real OLL, and the copy is updated at times. Most of the loggings are not in English but they are certainly still very useful: many loggings contain ID transcriptions which are often helpful when trying to identify weak stations. In addition, the loggings can be translated into English. If you click a logging, a popup window appears with text (( TRANSLATE ? )). If you hit "YES", the logging will be translated using your favorite browser and the Google translator.
On DATABASE BAR, you can select between ALL loggings or the loggings made in your home country.
You can return to the standard TURTLE mode by clicking the TURTLE button on DATABASE BAR.
