Logging Your Contacts
MicroLog by Jerry
Gentry WA0H is a small windows log book program that comes with the
U.S. Calls in it. Calls in the U.S. are updatable from inside the
program. At $10 it's inexpensive and you can take it with you on a
laptop.
K4CY Logger32
is a free Logging program but XP is the latest operating system
supported.
N3FJP Suite is a
collection of logging programs for any type of contest, event, and
Field Day, Individual log programs are inexpensive, or you can
purchase the entire suite with lifetime updates.
DXLab is a
Free collection of numerous programs and modules used for logging and
station management.
N1MM
is free and supports phone, cw, digital modes with contest logging and
control.
WB3W
Field Day Log was used by K5SST and W5ENT for networked logging
of contacts at the 2013 Field Day. Multiple laptops were stationed at
each Radio Setup and all contacts made were instantly updated on
everyone's logging screen. It included an interface to update license
information from the FCC license database. And it was Free. Thanks to
WB3W for his free Field Day Log.
HRD - Ham
Radio Deluxe is a logging and station control package that keeps
up to date with new radios and interfaces with ARRL LOTW (logbook of
the world). Digital mode radio control is supported in HRD. Version 6
is paid with a free Trial. Version 5 is still available on their site
free, though it is getting old and is not updated.
There are lots of other computer logbook options. QRZ has a free log book online. When AF5LL upgraded his license he lost all the log information listed under is previous call KF5TNX. Poof... It vanished. If you use an online log, print or download it to be sure this won't happen if you upgrade or get a Vanity Call.
If you know of a logbook for computer, free or otherwise you
recommend please submit your opinion and a link to the site to AF5LL
at K5SST.org for publishing on the K5SST.
