5/2/2023 0 Comments Rumlogng softwareI primarily do VHF ops and contesting as a rover. Right now I’m using N3FJP’s AC Log along with a number of his options for contesting. My rig is currently controlled by an HP PC laptop. I still use MacLoggerDX but mostly as a stand alone logger/LoTW/QSL awards tracker. Sounds like you’ve tried quite a few logging options to best match with your Apple setup. I have successfully been using RumLog contest window for CWT’s and plan to use it in CQWWCW this weekend. I thought of trying to use RumLogNG for my only logging program, but I would surely miss MacLoggerDX for it’s support, stability and many features. I would bet almost it is exactly the same. Now that time has past, I am curious what your current setup is. I tried to run N1MM in a VMWare, Windows10 virtual window, but it was slow and “cluggy” at best. I export ADIF files and import them into MacLogger for total log maintenance, upload to LOTW and Club Log after each contest. Currently my main logging program is MacLoggerDX and lately I have been using Tom’s RumLogNG for contests. Like you, I am all Elecraft (K1,K2,K3,K4 on order) and all Apple (too many to list) and have been for many years. I, today, find myself still in a similar situation trying to continuously optimize my logging setup. I found your blog from 2012/14 and read it with much interest. Overall, I’m discovering more and more features of the program that I not only like but that are becoming invaluable to my operation. You can find out more at DL2RUM’s webpage including downloading the software and documentation for free! This is one of the preferences options, you can choose your preferred palette! I’d tell you about more of the feature set, but I’m still discovering them and putting them to use. You’ll also note that the windows shown in these screen shots have a blue palette versus the green pallette with RUMped. It also has a nice connection with QRZ, although MacLoggerDX does this in a more graphically pleasing manner. RUMLog also has a very nice interface with Logbook of the World - automatically downloading updates from your account. RUMLog allows you to see it all the time in a window you can size for your desktop. While MacLoggerDX offers this, you need to move into a different window to see it, then bounce back to your regular operating window. I really like the window with the world map and the greyline indication (between night and day around the world). The interface with the DX cluster programs works well, although perhaps not as graphically pleasing as MacLoggerDX. It also has a great interface with WinKeyer. That alone would probably sell me on the program. The first really nice connection is the interface with the Elecraft K3. Just click on the image to see it full size with more detail visible. I’ve included a couple of full screen shots of many of the RUMLog windows I use routinely. I’m still getting used to RUMLog, but so far I really like it. All our family’s computers are Apple, as are our phones. One further reason behind this is that I’m somewhat of a “brand” guy. As a result, I also decided to try our RUMLog in order to better integrate the two. However, I found recently that RUMped had undergone major upgrades and as noted in my last post, really suits my current contest requirements. I’ve worked with Mac-based Skookum Logger and I note that it is growing into a very nice contest package. However, as serious contest operating became the norm for me I began to look for a better option for that segment of my operating, which MacLoggerDX does not support. In this post I’m going to take up RUMLog, a Mac-based general logging program also developed by DL2RUM.įor years I’ve used MacLoggerDX and I really like the program and the support that is provided by Don Agro, VE3VRW. In my last post I commented on RUMped, a Mac-based contest logging sofware developed by DL2RUM.
