[Elecraft] Mac logging programs?

[William Ravenel]

Hi Cary,

The premiere general purpose logging program for the Mac is MacLoggerDX from DogPark Software. It incorporates many features including rig control, DX clusters and spotting, automatic beam steering, 2D or 3D map, and much more. It is actively supported with frequent updates by Don Agros and costs $95 for a single use license. I have been using it for five years and am very happy with it.

RUMlog is a free program for the Mac that should be considered. It has become quite popular and has incorporated more features over time. It's strengths include enhanced tracking and management of qso's for various award pursuits.

RUMped is a DX-pedition and contesting logger specifically tailored to those activities. It is also free.

jLog is another free program for the Mac. It's a pretty basic, simplified logger without a lot of bells and whistles.

These are the programs that I'm aware of but I'm sure there are some others out there. My descriptions above are brief and may not fully capture the value of each program. I'm a MacLoggerDX user so I know more about it. You should check all their web pages and read the reviews on eHam.net to decide which best meets your needs.
