EasyLog - main features
EasyLog is the best amateur-radio log software existing today.
The first version of EasyLog dates back to 1989 and since then we have never stopped supporting it.
Updates to our software are continuous, and in the more than 30 years of its existence, we have continuously transformed it from an MS-DOS software to the current software running on Windows 10 and of course all other versions of Windows.
EasyLog is a complete software, which means that every QSO automatically updates DXCC, WAZ, WPX and WAC diplomas, and with a minimum of manual intervention, a very large number of diplomas.
EasyLog was also the first log programme to interface with the Packet Cluster. The DX-Cluster network can be connected via TNC (e.g. with the legendary PK232) or via TCP/IP (i.e. via the Internet) very easily.
Each time a new DX-Spot arrives, EasyLog analyses the status and displays clear information, such as: Absolute NewOne, worked but not confirmed, Band NewOne, Mode NewOne.
EasyLog's highly sophisticated interfacing allows it to filter out the already confirmed countries, to pronounce the callsigns of incoming DX-Spots, and via various graphical interfaces, to display the Spot-DXs in the most elegant way.
EasyLog also controls radios (up to 5), either directly or via OmniRig.
Thanks to the connection with radios, it is possible with a single mouse click to shift the frequency of the connected radio to the frequency of the Spot-DX that has just arrived on the DX-Cluster.
EasyLog fully supports ARRL LoTW. By configuring EasyLog and TQSL (software of the ARRL to be installed on your PC) you can send (in real time) all QSOs made, and download (in time or manually) the confirmed QSOs.
When downloading from the LoTW site, QSOs can have two different statuses: confirmed, or confirmed and credited.
Paper QSL cards received update the QSOs at the touch of a button, for the relevant QSO.
With our specialised software (QSL Wizard), which is part of EasyLog, both labels and paper QSL cards can be printed.
