TQSL stores all of your Station Locations in a file named station_data
,
which can simply be copied from one computer to another. No matter what version of Windows you're using, you can navigate to
the source computer's folder that contains this file and the destination computer's folder that will receive this
file with the following two steps in Windows Explorer:
%AppData%\TrustedQSL
and strike the Enter key
Apple OS X
If the operating system is OS X, the station_data
file resides in the folder ~/.tqsl
Linux
If the operating system is Linux, the station_data
file resides in the folder ~/.tqsl
Copying the station_data
file
After you've found the station_data
file on source computer and identified the proper location on the destination computer,
