This process should be automatic according to your choice. Right now, 
when I close the program it advises me to make a backup. Kind of silly, 
because I have to open the program again and then do a manual export.

The feature is already there, because when you upgrade KLog will make a 
backup first. So use that capability to automatically make a backup 
(with timestamp) of the database when the program closes. I've been 
using another well know logging program for Linux for the last 12 years 
and it does exactly that. It has saved me numerous times and even after 
12 years I still use those backups sometimes, e.g. when I accidentally 
delete a log entry. Since they are incremental it is quite a few MB of 
files after all these years, but it's only text, so compared to video 
files it's nothing.

Of course, you have to backup the backup file, so I do that with a cron 
job that triggers a bash script that uploads the latest backup adif to 
my websever in Europe. Better be safe than sorry.

Great! Thanks for the hard work.

There is one more thing. In sat mode there is an entry for mode and I 
guess you have to fill in the mode letter there, like A (V/A), B (U/V), 
etc. Since the frequencies are already listed it's kind of redundant to 
also list the sat mode. Or am I seeing this wrong?
