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.
