Further, there are printing functions even though all it prints is a pdf image of a portion of the log. Getting any kind of control through my transceiver was a waste of many attempts. The maps can be off by hundreds and sometimes thousands of miles relying very often on outdated info from the sites that its gathered from (even though the maps on the actual mapping websites themselves that this program gets its info from are accurate). I've yet to see any DXCC spots with this program and LoTW reports are't always accurate. I honestly don't get the great reviews for RUMlogNG.Īs a logging program it's fine. Look, let's face it - there is not a lot of stuff specifically for Macs, and I reckon that Tom, DL2RUM deserves credit for creating great products.Good for some things, not so good for others Whilst it is a contest log, it is another excellent product, as you can import the log back into RumLog. Have a look at the other product I've used too RumPed. This is an excellent example of using the Mac interface to create a very useable product. Oh yeah, there is no time limited features or stuff either, because of the price. Linux has some fine offerings too.ĭon't be put off because it's free. There are also a myriad of products for PCs, but RumLog is up there with the best of 'em, in my opinion. In fact even after using MacLogger, I have always kept RumLog going too, in parallel.Īs I am not using gear that can be interfaced to any application, then I would have to say that RumLog would come out in front as a manual logging program. True, MacLogger may have some other advantages, but you do pay good money for it too. Summary There are few products for amateurs using Macs (Aether, MacLoggerDX), but after using this product it does a great deal to satisfy the serious amateur. The WinKeyer and few microHAM devices are supported. The data (log + trx) exchange with fldigi is supported. Work CW, RTTY and other digital QSOs direct in the RUMlog application, using cocoaModem as interface. Except the DXCC statistics, RUMlog tracks the most interesting areas of the world for the most important awards: IOTA islands, CQ zones, ITU zones, Grid Squares, US States and German DOKs. RUMlog can interface with Google Maps (Web-Browser based) and Google Earth. RUMlog has import and export functions to allow exchange of log data in different formats to other logging tools. More controls are provided for the Elecraft K3.

Multiple interactive band maps virtualize activities on the air. RUMlog will separate DX-spots and alert you via e-mail or Growl when there is a ,new one' DXCC or IOTA spotted. RUMlog can establish multiple dx-cluster connection via the internet or to your local skimmer. Quick log searches or more detailed log queries and export routines are possible. RUMlog keeps you up to date about worked, confirmed or missing DXCCs and provides you with country lists and detailed statistics. Save the retrieved data into the Mac's address book. Provisions are made to query the qrz.com online library. RUMlog can build and use an own manager and IOTA database, extracting the information from dx-cluster spots. You can get different statistics for paper- or LoTW QSLs. The Logbook of The World (LoTW) and eQSL are fully supported, and you can create files for the Global QSL service very quick. Using RUMlog you can print QSL card and address labels on your favorite label size and manage your incoming paper QSLs.

An user editable, all time country database is used for automatic DXCC recognition. RUMlog can handle an unlimited number of logs and an unlimited number of QSOs per log. Basic logging features are included for the higher bands up to 1.2 cm and for satellite. RUMlog is a logging, QSL handling and printing tool, especially made for the short wave DXer, made by a DXer.
