HamLog does not export in ADIF format (which is the standard for all 
ham logging programs).

You want to export the log from HamLog in tab-delimited text to a file 
called log.dat.

MacLoggerDX can read this file directly - no import required - that's 
the good news.

The bad news is that you will have to export the data in the correct 
column order, and then play around with it in a spread sheet program to 
get it into the right format.

The format of log.dat is documented here at the bottom of the page:

<http://dogparksoftware.com/MacLoggerDX/Manual/Pages/logpanel.html>

...and is headed by "Log.dat and usercallbook.dat Tab-delimited text 
File Format"

This table lists the column order and format.

The main thing is to get the columns in the right order - but even that 
can be re-arranged in Excel.
