 * wp does not allow to use a shortcode in a script it takes the parameter as literal
   not the value of the parameter. This value should then be used in functions.php
   to insert it in a database.
    I think i better make a form to get the dta the 
   user fills in and then insert it into the database. I do not see an other way
   to get data from the page to the database.
 * —this is in my page—–
 *     ```
       <script>
       function saverecordtodtabase() 
       {
       $qsorecord=document.getElementById("callsign").value;
        [qsologlogqsorecord $qsorecord]
       }
       </script>
       ```
   
 * —this is in functions.php–just an echo for debugging willleter be an dtabase 
   insert sql statement.-
 *     ```
       function qsolog_log_qso_record($atts) {
       global $wpdb;
       global $qsorecord;
       	$qsorecord=$atts[0];
              echo($qsorecord);
       }
   
       add_shortcode( 'qsologlogqsorecord', 'qsolog_log_qso_record' );
       ```
