Contest logging software refers to specialized computer software programs designed for use by competitors in amateur radiocontesting. Most contest logging software is written by individual programmers who are active radio contesters.

Purpose[edit]

IQRP Quarterly Marathon: 0800Z, Oct 1 to 2000Z, Oct 7: Geographic Focus: Worldwide: Participation: Worldwide: Mode: CW, SSB, Digital: Bands: All: Classes: Single. N3FJP Software Package & CD (shipping/handling included) includes full registration of all my amateur radio software (more than one hundred programs in all) on a CD, free registration of any additional amateur radio software that I add to the package, as well as free upgrades to existing programs. This option is a great deal!

Best Ham Radio Contest Logging Software

1. For quick install and use, N3FJP has contest logging software customized for each supported event. This is unlike most other contest logging programs which have one base program with customizations for each contest. The latter method is certainly the more flexible way to go.
2. Oct 14, 2009  I also appreciate some of the 'free' software available for ham radio use. In some cases the software is made because someone has the skill and desire to help other hams. For others, it also gives the author the ability to 'showcase' his or her ability and talent in a little or no cost manner!
3. QW QW is a Contest, Log and PR Program made by Mario, DL4MFM. Easylog Easylog by microware software; Eurowinlog Eurowinlog is a ham logging software using world map zoomable capabilities. Handling 32400 gridsquares, dxcc, dxcluster, qsl printing and much more.
4. CQRLOG is an advanced ham radio logger based on MySQL database. Provides radio control based on hamlib libraries (currently support of 140+ radio types and models), DX cluster connection, online callbook, a grayliner, internal QSL manager database support and a most accurate country resolution algorithm based on country tables created by OK1RR.
5. Logbook - also known as HRDLog - is a powerful ham radio logging software program within Ham Radio Deluxe. It is both a complete DX operations center, as well as a fantastic general purpose log book. Beginning with a robust database engine, Ham Radio Deluxe Logbook screams operating convenience.

The primary purpose of contest logging software is to record the details of two-way radio contacts made during amateur radio contests. At a minimum, these details include the time, band or frequency of operation, the call sign of the other station, and the received 'exchange' data. This log data is recorded in a binary or ASCII format. Most contest logging software packages will also compute a running score for the contest during operation and will help track which multipliers have been 'worked' and which have not. Typical contest logging software includes features for post-contest processing of the log to prepare it for submission to the contest sponsor. There is great variation in the features offered and their specific implementation, which can lead to passionate debates among the supporters of specific software packages.

Common features[edit]

Many programs offer advanced features for controlling external devices; this can include controlling the frequency of a radio, sending Morse code over a serial port or parallel port interface, interfacing with sound cards used for the transmission and reception of digital modes such as RTTY, or controlling antenna or amplifier hardware. Some software programs include specific features for single operator two radios (SO2R) operations. A related market exists for software designed to analyze, convert, or manipulate log data recorded during radio contests.

Contest logging software, whether free or commercial, is available for DOS, Linux, and Windows platforms. Some contesters dedicate older computers specifically to running their favorite contest logging software.
