What you get

Keep your radio contacts, confirmations, and award progress in one logbook.

With RUMlogNG, you can keep separate logs for everyday operating, contests, and DXpeditions without limits on the number of logs or contacts. You can search past QSOs, exchange log data with other tools, and see which DXCC entities you have worked, confirmed, or still need. Award tracking also covers islands, zones, grid squares, US states, and other areas.

You can handle confirmations on paper or online: print QSL labels, record incoming cards, and upload or download confirmations through LoTW and eQSL. Your Clublog log can stay synchronized in real time, so your online record follows your operating activity.

When you are on the air, DX-cluster alerts can point you toward newly spotted DXCC entities or IOTA islands. With a supported transceiver, you can change radio settings from the logbook or bring settings into it. Contest scoring, a CW keyer, and an RTTY application support more specialized operating sessions.
