My current general purpose logging software (HyperLog) is no longer supported,

Following are my requirements.

MUST HAVE
--Intel/MS platform (Win, DOS, whatever)
--Radio aware
--Keyboard-centric (no mouse for routine logging)
--Callbook CD aware
--Import/Export ADIF
--LoTW integration
--Award tracking (DXCC, WAZ, etc)
--Print QSL report labels
--Impecable track record of author support

Nominations please. (Price not important)

As you've seen, people seem to be quite partisan about their favorite
loggers!

I've tried a bunch. Didn't really like *any* of them. Gave up & wrote
my own. Linux platform though all the components are also available for
Windows & the underlying Perl code should run on Windows with little or
no modification. It doesn't have rig control, CD support, or LotW
integration though they could all be added.

Neat thing is that all QSOs are logged into a standard database engine.
Any query I can think up, I can run. Got a QSL card from AP2IA?

mysql mylog -e "update log set name='Ijaz', city='Lahore', grid='MM62'
where call='AP2IA'"

and the data is updated for all QSOs. Can't do that with most other
programs.

Where is it? Not on your homepage.

Anyone know of Mac based logging programs ?

N3FPJ ACLOG does/has all of this. I've tested samples of others but this
one is the nicest in my opinion.


I agree also, it is the ONLY logging software i will use for field day
because it actually does what it says it will do. nice stuff.
for general logging and whatever I like WinLogger

In a couple of directories on my hard drivegrin...I have it packaged
for posting somewhere, took it off when I ran low on webspace a year or
so ago. Guess I should put it back.

Please do so.

What you have described is exactly what I have been looking for. tlf is cool
for contesting, but I failed to find an everyday logging programs with those
features described before.

Since I don't boot into Windows anymore (or very rarely), I'd certainly want
to give it a try.

I know how to use a mouse.

But it's a distraction that a good logging program shouldn't need. I want to be
able to log without looking at the screen (to see where to click) or take my
hands off the keyboard.

Hence my REQUIREMENT for a keyboard centric software design.

Well in ACLOG (http://www.n3fjp.com/) you can reconfigure the entry boxes in
the order and tab order that works for you and then just move from field to
field with the tab key or space key (except in fields where a space would be
a legitimate entry such as in the comment field).

Give the demo a try.

It's unlikely these days that new software will be fully keyboard centric
but of the ones that I have tried, this one is the easiest to use from a
keyboard point of view. You can always drop the author an email on
questions. And if you like, I can try to answer specific questions since
I'm pretty familar with it.

Certainly a requirement for contesting. If God had wanted us to use a
computer mouse, He would have given us three hands (or four so we could
operate a paddle for CW as well).

Once again Win-EQF fills the bill. It can either way, mouse or keyboard.
Keyboard input is simple and direct. Another nice touch is the hot key
system it has, lets you jump to a particular place on the screen. As an
example, at any time while logging press the Alt-G key and you are taken to
the Grid Square block.

It will, like lots of other logging programs, let you design your own
contest setup also. Nice if you do a state QSO party that does not have a
standard format.
