2) Let's put PZ2YT in the log, shall we?
On the Grid Feed of the DX Spot Checker, I click the call sign of the spot, right-click, and click
Log Spotted Station on the shortcut menu.

That gets things started on the Station Log window...

Omni-Rig provides the frequency and mode from my transceiver1.
And because I subscribe to a call sign subscription service, it provides location and address information.
The Solar Indices and Propagation mode values also appear, and my
Rig, Antenna, Accessory, and Pwr
(power) are selected for me automatically,
according to defaults set for the current band.
I can run reports on all this information later.
Automatic Logbook of the World Upload Facility
In the LoTW field, Station Log 15 indicates whether PZ2YT is a registered
user of the ARRL's Logbook of the World. This information helps me decide
whether to send a paper QSL, or just rely on the anticipated LoTW QSL.
The LoTW field says Yes with the last upload from PZ2YT occurring on July 18, 2021.
That's pretty recent, so PZ2YT will likely upload his newer logs soon.
Uploading my logs to LoTW is easy! I've enabled Station Log 15's Automatic LoTW Upload Facility,
so all I need to do is save the log entry and it'll be on the server in 4 to 8 seconds!
(Automatic uploading can be disabled if you want to upload contacts in batches later. It's up to you.)
I click OK, and the log entry is on its way automatically to the LoTW Server...

As part of the upload operation, Station Log 15 captures, displays, and saves LoTW QSO Record Status
from the LoTW Server, indicating whether the log entry made it to the server okay.
If the expected status fails to appear above the progress bar, you can attempt to recapture status
and, if necessary, resubmit the log entry and/or fine-tune the interface.

But as you can see, the caption above the progress bar indicates that the log entry is on the server okay.
There's lots more to LoTW Support in DXtreme Station Log 15.
Read the Data Sheet for more information.
Last Log Entries Grid and Window
Notice how the log entry also got added to the Last Log Entries grid at the bottom of the window,
which can display up to 5000 of my most recent entries. I settled on 1000.
And when I want to see more log-entry information both horizontally and vertically I can open the
resizable Last Log Entries window from the shortcut menu...

(Wow ... just under 16 years since the last portable QSO. Where did the time go?)
Double-clicking a Last Log Entries row (in the grid or on the window) displays its log entry in the
Station Log window.
And the Last Log Entries shortcut menu lets you sort
records and access a Properties dialog box
where you can change the
order of columns and set font attributes
including the foreground and background colors
of grid headings and data rows throughout the system.
Hear Ye, Hear Ye
But before any more time passes, let's be a good neighbor and let folks know
how Suriname is making it into MA, about 8 miles south of the NH border!
Back on the DX Spot Checker, I click the DX Via the SL Window button.

Which inserts a template into the Send Command box,
one that
includes information from the Station Log window:

I overwrite the <remarks> placeholder with my desired information Real 59 in MA and
press Enter to send my DX announcement to the cluster server.
