N3FJP is a suite of logging programs. You can buy one or the whole suite
which includes a general logging program, contests, QSO parties, sprints,
net control program etc. They are inexpensive and very easy to use. Yes
there are other free programs that do a wonderful job but some of those are
complex for the casual contester or operator. The Virginia Beach Amateur
Radio Club uses the N3FJP Field Day Logging Program, both stand alone and
networked, and no one has a problem logging. We also use the N3FJP general
logging program onboard the USS Wisconsin (museum battleship) Radio Club
during our special events. Try it and I think you will like it. 73, Ron

Another vote for N3FJP. There is nothing wrong with the other logging
programs like DXKeeper but I wanted a very basic logging program that was
easy to learn and use. N3FJP fits the bill.

I have to agree with Joe -- N3FJP is the easiest to learn and use logging
software I have seen. AND -- if you ever get into contesting, he has
VERY compatible and easy to use loggers for most of the contests out
there. All are very inexpensive.

I told myself to stay out, but well I can't seem to do that.....
I have found N3FJP's ACLog to be very intuitive. Most of the others
programs seem to require much more time to learn than I want to take away
from my limited ham minutes. Just a couple of clicks and Logbook Of The
World or eQSL is updated.
Our club uses his software for contests and there is no training needed,
folks just sit down and use it.

Hi,
I am also using DXKeeper and I recommend it.
That's true it is very feature-rich and settings can be overwhelming.
However, the default settings usually works great and I really seldom
have to dig in the online documentation which is ok (but not perfect) in
my opinion.
For contesting logging I prefer N1MM, and then I import my logs into
DXKeeper.
For statistics, of course I'm using QScope, and all my logs are
searchable online :

Can somebody tell me where to get help with electronic logging and log
book
Hans,
I strongly recommend the FREE DXLab suite of programs, which includes
DXKeeper (logging), and Commander (reads frequency and mode from your
radio, plugs it into the log). I was lucky to discover it in 2003 when I
got back on the air. I have recommended it to many friends, all of whom
have thanked me for it.
There are other programs in the suite, some of which I use, others I
don't. DXView tells you the country, beam heading, and distance from
your QTH, as well as sunrise/sunset for that station, and shows the path
on a world map. WinWarbler is a very nice "shell" for MMTTY and 2Tone to
do RTTY. Spot Collector takes spots from several DX clusters, compares
them with your log, and can be set to display only the countries,
states, zones, and bands that you "need" for an award.
If this sounds complicated, it isn't. To get started, all you need for
logging is DXKeeper. Commander makes it more automatic (by reading
frequency and mode via a rig interface).
73, Jim K9YC
