Tired of " logbook source does not exist" I'm looking for new logbook

For daily & DX log, I use N3FJP AC Log. you can purchase the main logging program for $30 USD. I like it as it connects to the radio via Flex API and supports QRZ, LoTW, eQSL, and ClubLog along with built in DX cluster.

DX Labs Suite is also very good and free. It is a lot more configurable and has more features, but more involved to set up. Great support.

What I don’t like about DX Labs is having all the pieces of the program open in separate windows instead of one. Also HRD having to run the main GUI program. No need for that window to control the radio if you have SmartSDR. Just little nit picks of how I set up my PC.

Also worth mentioning is another free program called Log4OM. Again not as easy as AC Log to set up but a pretty loyal following.

For contests I use N1MM+ but have paid the extra $20 for the AC Log contest specific programs. I am just so used to using N1MM+ though.

One thing I do miss about HRD Logbook is the WSI in the cluster window. WSI is the worked status indicator and could visually show you if you needed a station for new country, new country (DXCC), new country for that band (band slot for challenge award) or new band for that station’s call.

A lot of the paid programs give you a trial period to test them out. Note - if you do work new contacts when testing programs, don’t forget to export the contacts so they can be imported to your main program :-)

Last, for MAC I have MAC Logger DX for general logging. I have also dabbled with Skookum Log. I have not spent a lot of time with either. Just enough to get them up and running as my PC is my primary computer.I do need to use the MAC more.
