[Elecraft] Mac Logging Software

Sun Jun 12 21:33:15 EDT 2022

Ah, but Kevin, this topic is for Mac logging… I will agree that SkookumLogger is really good for contesting. I don’t think I would use it for general logging, though.

I’ll ask my question of Kevin in his topic… ;-)

73,

It is full featured and has lots of bells and whistles, some which I thought I wouldn’t need or use, but having them opened my eyes to the possibility. For example, I use MLDX as my main Mac logging program and when I run WSJTx it will receive broadcast QSO info from WSJTx and log it directly into my main database. It has a telnet application to spot dx and if you like it can qsy you to that station with a mouse click. It’s again one of those things you don’t know you need or want until you try it. It integrates w LoTW, EQSL and Club Log. Plus the owner Don Agro is a great guy, he will reply to queries often in a few minutes after you send an email. It’s worth a look.
