I’m using QRZs logger (free version). I like that it’s online and I like that it automatically validates contacts.
Most of my contacts are FT4/8 so I auto log there, then periodically upload the adi to QRZ. For my CW contacts I make a note of the frequency and time in my notebook (I’m not able to headcopy yet) and enter them manually after I’m done.
I’m gearing up for my first POTA activation and will probably use HAMRS for the CW portion there.
Are there any other online log books out there?
There's Cloudlog. I've looked at it but am happy with cqrlog. I believe you can either self-host it (Raspberry Pi) or find an online host.
Yes CQRLOG is great and graphically very pleasant. For some reasons I have never managed to fully switch my desktop to Linux but if was ever, this would most likely become my application of choice for general logging.
Thanks for sharing about cloudlog. I'm not a fan of subscription based applications but as I see you can self host I will definitely start a docker instance to see how it runs.
