Amateur radio software

Below you will find some tried and tested software that I personally use, some is for logging, some for contesting. Please take note that I do not have a fiduciary arrangement with any of these software authors. This list is made available so that you can make use of the information regarding these applications.

General Purpose Logging:

There are many, many logging programs out there; some are free, some are QSL-ware, some shareware and some are commercial.

One of the easiest programs you can use for your day to day logging chores is called Amatuer Contact Log by N3FJP. Rather than load you down with details you can use the link below the screenshot to go and check out their software. At $19.00 you won't go wrong with this software.
