Ham Logging is a QSO logbook for amateur radio operators: one log on your phone that stays in step with the services you use (LoTW, eQSL, Club Log, QRZ.com Logbook, HRDLog.net / Ham365, HamQTH, CloudLog, Wavelog, QRZCQ, cqGMA, DxQSO and QRZ.RU Logbook). KEY FEATURES - 16 logging services: 12 take your contacts straight from the app, and POTA, SOTA, WWFF and ARRL Contest get a ready-made file - LoTW from your phone: your contacts signed with your own callsign certificate, exactly as TQSL signs them - QRZ.RU Logbook: with your own key your QSOs go to your QRZ.RU logbook, and QRZ.RU says which are confirmed - Auto Sync, if you turn it on: new contacts and edits go to your services a few minutes after you log them - Each service answers for itself: a confirmation comes only from the service that gives it, on one contact only, and each Sync card shows what that service really holds; Send again fills the gaps - Callsign look-up from the sources you tick (QRZ.com, HamQTH, callook.info, and qrz.ru for the callsigns you type): every contact you log, import or download fills itself in with names, grids and zones - New QSO profiles: POTA, SOTA, WWFF, GMA, Satellite and Contest bring the fields you need to the top and count towards a valid activation - Full ADIF 3.1.8 import and export, and CSV and JSON backups of every field - Rover Mode: large-target, voice-dictated callsign entry for mobile operating - Rig control (Experimental): the log follows your radio's frequency and mode, over the network or Bluetooth - POTA, SOTA, WWFF, GMA and contest fields; spot yourself to POTA, WWFF, GMA and a DX cluster - QSL card export: a themed card with your comment, ready to share - Monthly and yearly statistics with shareable images PROPAGATION AND MAP - World map with great-circle lines to every worked station, and worked grids as squares - Gray line with an aurora layer (NOAA OVATION), 24-hour MUF prediction and band openings - PSK Reporter and WSPR paths, live solar data and band-by-band DX potential - One Spots tab (DX from HamQTH's cluster feed, POTA, SOTA, GMA, WWFF and contests, each read from its programme's own service) and a live APRS layer PRIVACY FIRST - No accounts, no ads, no analytics, no tracking - Your log stays on your phone and goes only to the services you set up: when you tap Sync, or by itself with Auto Sync - Location: only for the Map and distances; for your height above sea level the Map sends your position, rounded to about 100 m, to open-meteo.com - Microphone: only for Rover Mode dictation.
