The main input area always remains in view, while five tabs under the input area show the various info indicated in the pictures above. This program is sophisticated, easy to use, and very easy to look at. To view any or all of your QSO's, Log4OM links to Google Earth and exports a KML file to plot and save all your QSO's grid locations to Google Earth. The station's gridsquare location and signal path also plot on the program's QSO Information map. From call sign lookup or clicking on a spot or cluster line, all available data fields auto-populate for the potential QSO log entry. The various functions of Log4OM are well integrated. Log4OM has all the same online functions of HRD, and then some, plus and it links with for online log publishing on the website, or on your own. Log4OM Recently I began using Log4OM, another well integrated log and control program that retains visual simplicity, yet has so much going on behinds the scenes. I'm sure HRD will continue to grow and improve for some time to come. I just want my radio to "go there" when I find "the spot" I have been chasing.
Do I need to have all the functions of my radio available on the computer screen? Not me.
It's hard to do all things well, especially when there are businesses that shine with their more singular areas of expertise. My hesitation comes with redundancy of functions, the cumbersome feeling with multiple windows, and too many buttons that perform the same functions. I've been using HRD for about 7 years now, and it keeps getting better.Īs you can see, HRD has very detailed screens and really good functionality. HRD brings together functions such as ADIF format log upload and download on QRZ, LoTW, and eQSL, a huge list of DX spotters to pick from, QSO mapping, sat tracking, rotator control, digital HF, available online log, and a few other goodies. It has more features than I have equipment, and it seems to perform all of it's capabilities very well. Ham Radio Deluxe Ham Radio Deluxe is, well, very deluxe.
