[TVARC] Ham Logging Programs for the Apple Computerverse (MacOS, IOS and/or iPadOS)

[Anthony Wayne Hackenberg]

Hi Members of TVARC’s MailList (especially those using Apple devices for logging),

Here are some, amateur radio, logging programs for the Apple computer-world (MacOS, iOS, and/or iPadOS) that I use, or have used, that may meet your requirements:

“MacLoggerDX” from DogParkSoftware (MacOS)

  [I (K4QR) use this logging program on a regular basis
     (but ONLY for general purpose ham logging; NOT for contests)];
  [It’s loaded with a ton of useful features];
  [Supports batch, or immediate, QSO uploads to online services 
    (ARRL’s LoTW, eQSL, and maybe others)];

“MacLoggerDX HD for iPad” (iPadOS)

  [I use this logging program very infrequently 
    but it’s nice to have in a pinch in the field & 
    it’s easy to transfer your log entries from it into 
    its big-brother/sister version on MacOS)];
  [Unsure if it supports batch, or immediate, QSO uploads to various services]; 

“RUMLogNG” (MacOS, iPadOS, and “RUMlog 2Go” for iOS)

  [I (K4QR) use this program’s MacOS version for contests 
    because the MacLoggerDX programs (see above)
    are more suited to general purpose logging; not contest logging)];
  [RUMlog is also a very capable general, purpose logging software];
  [It’s loaded with a plethora of features];
  [Supports batch, or immediate, QSO uploads to online services 
    (ARRL’s LoTW, eQSL, and maybe others)];

“SDR-Control” (MacOS, iPadOS, and “SDR-Control Mobile” for iOS)

  [I use this software to PRIMARILY control my ICOM rigs, 
    from near, or far, over the Internet; 
    However, its developer ONLY supports a very limited range of rigs; 
    so be sure to check if your rig(s) are supported];
  [It too is loaded with a cornucopia of features];
  [Interestingly, this software contains its own implementation of Joel Taylor’s
    modes (FT8 etc.)];
  [I BELIEVE this software supports a logging feature as well; but, I’ve never used it];
  [I think it might support batch, or immediate, QSO uploads to online
     services (ARRL’s LoTW, eQSL, and maybe others)];

“73 Ham Log” (for iOS only)

  [I don’t use this software; so, I am not familiar with any of its features];


73,

Tony K4QR
