I use DXKeeper, an excellent general purpose ham logger. It imports and 
exports ADIF files, and with a few mouse clicks, uploads and downloads 
automatically to LOTW and eQSL. I'm an active contester. For day-to-day 
operation, I log directly to DXKeeper. For contests, I use N1MM Plus. 
After each contest, I export the contest log as an ADIF, then import it 
to DXKeeper, and let DXKeeper send it to LOTW and eQSL.

DXKeeper does lots of good stuff, including keeping track of all sorts 
of awards, QSLs, generates mailing labels, etc. It's FREE, bug free, and 
well supported. It's part of a suite of programs, some of which I find 
quite useful -- Spot Collector, which looks at cluster spots, compares 
them with your log, and shows you only those you "need" for an award; 
Commander, a rig control program that reads frequency and operating mode 
and puts it in DXKeeper (and does other stuff if you want it to); DXView 
that looks up beam headings and distance when you enter a call; 
WinWarbler, which integrates MMTTY and 2Tone for RTTY, and also does 
other digital modes.

And -- program author, Dave, AA6YQ, is one of the team that's been 
cleaning up LOTW operation.
