Logging software - what is it?
Logging software is primarily a means of recording two-way contacts between amateur radio stations. They may also be used by short wave listeners (SWL) to record which stations have been heard.
The minimum details that should be recorded for accurate logging are; callsign, time - preferably in UTC, band, frequency, and signal data such as strength and readability.
Contesting loggers frequently include the ability to calculate a running score, as well as the ability to produce a log suitable for submission to the contest controllers.
External contraol of rigs is another feature of some logging software.
Software for PC
- KLog Ham radio logging software for linux/KDE. Support of DXCC, WAZ, personal awards, integrated DXCluster client. ADIF default support.
- Logger32 A 32-bit Amateur Radio logging program. Logger32 has been developed to be a highly user configurable general purpose Amateur Radio logbook with computer control support for many radios and antenna rotators. It is NOT a contesting log, although there is no real reason why it could not be used for such, and does not contain some features that might be found in software specifically designed for this activity.
