What is HRD Logbook

Modified on Mon, Jun 28, 2021 at 10:18 PM

Logbook is a powerful ham radio logging software program within Ham Radio Deluxe. It is both a complete DX operations center, as well as a fantastic general purpose log book.

Beginning with a robust database engine, Ham Radio Deluxe Logbook screams operating convenience.

Packed with features, it is the ideal shack accessory for everyone from the novice rag-chewer to the most accomplished paper-hanger.

It becomes a DXer's best asset. Keep track of all important contact information with the click of a mouse.

Look up name, QTH, and other important information about your contacts using a variety of online and offline sources. Interface with the popular QRZ.com call sign database (subscription required), or a free look up service.

Logbook also interfaces with DX Spider cluster servers for spotting the rare ones. The Bandmap feature graphically displays spots within a band with up to 10 bands visible at once.

With just a click of a mouse, swing your beam to the DX station’s heading. Once you have the rare DX in the log, integration with Trusted QSL makes uploading to Logbook of the World a snap!

Downloading from LoTW is just as simple. In fact, Logbook interfaces with many popular electronic logging and electronic QSL services, including eQSL, HRDLog, and ClubLog. Logbook keeps track of many popular awards too.
