KLog is a general-purpose amateur radio logging application aimed primarily at everyday DX logging rather than being tied to one particular contest or operating mode. It keeps QSO records in a desktop interface and provides tools for examining contacts, confirmations and award progress.
The application can form the centre of a station logging workflow, accepting information from radios and digital-mode software while exchanging QSO information with popular online amateur radio services.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Create and manage amateur radio logbooks containing contacts across multiple bands and modes.
- Import and export QSO records using ADIF.
- Maintain DXCC information and identify entities associated with logged callsigns.
- Track confirmation and award-related information across the logbook.
- Integrate with Logbook of The World for QSO confirmation workflows.
- Exchange QSO information with eQSL and other supported online logbook services.
- Display logged contacts geographically using an integrated map.
- Use DX cluster information alongside the current log.
- Integrate with WSJT-X so digital-mode contacts and decoded information can participate in the logging workflow.
- Communicate with supported transceivers and obtain radio information for new QSO records.
- Handle split operation and transmit/receive frequency information.
- Produce statistics from the log and distinguish operating modes and submodes.
- Support satellite contacts and recognise new locators relevant to satellite operation.
