[RTTY] HRD Logbook

[Robert Chudek - K0RC]

John,

I use two different programs to manage my logs. One is a general logger and 
award tracking package similar to HRD. The other is a contesting program 
designed for that environment. This is similar to using MS Word and MS 
Excel... depending upon what you want to do, you would choose one tool or 
the other.

I know about HRD and know it is a great package, but I don't have direct 
hands-on knowledge about it. I will speculate there is no Cabrillo output 
format because HRD is not a contesting package.

There are many contesting software packages. I use N1MM Logger. Another 
choice is WriteLog. These are the top two packages used by operators in the 
USA. There are other contest packages that are more popular in other parts 
of the world.

Okay... if you want to convert an ADIF file into Cabrillo there are packages 
that will do this as well. You will find a list of choices here:

In addition, while looking for this link, I found another converter package 
that looks promising here:  http://www.contestlogchecker.com/

And here's a short video how it looks:

Back to the decision between "Word" and "Excel" (General logger vs. Contest 
logger), a contest logger is going to give you real-time dupe checking, 
multiplier tracking, and other features that will help you gain a better 
contest score. In addition, it will output Cabrillo format directly and 
allow you to submit your entry within minutes after the contest is over.

2356 if you have Export to cabrillo in yours? I don't have in mine

I was wondering what anyone else is using to convert their log to cabrillo 
for the contest this weekend.
