What are you guys using for logging programs? I do paper logs but I am going to switch to LOTW. I want a logging program that can do the following; use the log data from WSJT-X, JT65-HF, and FLDigi. Also if it can upload to QRZ logging that would be cool.
I have googled around and there is no one shining star that everyone tries to copy. Thanks |

I've been running DX Keeper.
Works great with WSJT-X. As soon as you send a 73, it'll automatically log. I run FLDIGIDXLabsGateway for integration with FLDIGI. So far, so good. All on an old XP box. Edit: It'll upload to LOTW & eQSL. Then I'll just run a sync from QRZ. Piece of cake. Just my 2¢ |

I also use the Fldigi Gateway helper program (you start it, and then it starts Fldigi and connects it with DXKeeper) and I use JT-Alert, which connects WSJT-X with DXKeeper. DXKeeper is uber complicated, but it sure is nice to be able to have every type of contact in one place and to be able to sync it to LOTW in just a few clicks. The entire DXLabs suite is pretty nice, too, with rig control, spotting, and a bunch of other stuff that I don't even understand 
I'm not a contester, but for the few contests I've played in I used N1MM because it's a much better contest logger. I then exported the results into DXKeeper for posterity. |

I keep my log in excel...manually record the QSO's, although using a few macros / formulas in certain columns to speed things up.
Have always done it this way and have no plans to change....its simple, and I control what data I want in my record. I build a tab that pulls in key fields and creates an output consistent with .adif syntax...I can easily save that as a flat file and upload to any online logging system that accepts the standard .adif file format....LOTW, EQSL, QRZ, etc. |

DxKeeper as well. Yes it has much configuration to setup but very powerful. You need to setup commander so that dxkeeper will pull your radio freq. If you want some screenshots of the config let me know, just shoot me an Im.. I am using the whole dxlab suite and yes it takes time to setup..
