[SCCC] General Logging Program Suggestions

[Michael S. Mitchell W6RW]

I use DX4WIN and it keeps track of everything. You can start by downloading the ADIF file from DXCC LOTW. That way you will have in your log all of your QSOs that have been accepted by the ARRL for DXCC. You can also export an ADIF file from N1MM to DX4WIN. Also, DX4WIN has a fairly uncomplicated process for exporting to LOTW and for importing from LOTW.

I was off the air for about 10 years and found that DX4WIN did a great job of getting my actual DXCC credits into the log.

Inputting QSOs from paper logs is going to be a tremendous chore no matter which software that you choose for general logging.
