Log Software?

[KW4HKY]

I'm using Hamsphere while waiting on my license, and their has to be an easier way to record contact info than a text or word file, I hope?

Is their any freeware out there? I'm going to need a good log book when I FINALLY get my rig finished and the license back. I tried google and found mostly contesting software.

Appreciate any help.

There is plenty of them.
Logger32 by K4CY - my regular logging software - runs smooth even on old, low end computer.

You can try also http://www.ham-radio-deluxe.com/, but for me it is too complex for me, I don't need most of it's features.

I like and use the DXLab suite. It has several useful programs, and a nice log program called DXKeeper.

Ham Radio Deluxe has a built in log tool also. It's great if you have it hooked up to your rig, it already knows the frequency & mode..you just have to supply the callsign and signal report.

If you want a fairly simple log, try AClog3.0 I really like it. and it's simple to work with.

And if your computer is already linked to the internet all you have to do is click on the "QRZ" button and it fills in all the information for you.

For casual logging and rig control I think Ham Radio Deluxe is hard to beat. It is a feature rich program, and may look intimidating, but if you spend a little time with the manual you can figure it out pretty quickly.

The log book features include automatic call sign look up in QRZ so the contact name, address, etc. are automatically input for you. If you use Ham Radio Deluxe for rig control your contact frequency will automatically be logged as well.

There are too many features to discuss here. Give it a try. Download it here Ham Radio Deluxe > HRD v5

Someone mentioned N1MM. It is a great contesting program (I use it for contesting) but does not have many of the convenient logging options of Ham Radio Deluxe.

My two cents.
