[ADXA] Logging Software

[Dennis Schaefer]

I’ll give another vote to DX Lab.  I use the DXKeeper and Commander modules.  There is a little learning curve, but I’m not very tolerant of complicated programs.  Lotw uploads are pretty seamless and if you’re into that kind of thing, you can upload to eQSL, QRZ, etc.   Commander interfaces with the rig, so for everyday logging, it knows the frequency and mode.   

I have used the propagation module, and the DXinfo one, but don’t open them on a daily basis.

There is a bridge program that automatically brings in Q’s from N1MM and it works fine but I usually forget to open it but it is easy to import from N1MM into DXKeeper.  I think there is a similar program that transfers each QSO from WSJT-X over to DXKeeper.

73,

I’m not looking forward to a new learning curve.  I would much rather operate than fool with software but that seems to be the way we’re headed.

It has a lot of good feature with rig control, rotor control, etc if you like that sort of thing. Also has LoTW provisions to upload and download confirmations seamlessly.
