Being a mac user, the options for ham radio software can be limited, but in recent years the quantity and more importantly the quality of programs available has really increased.

My logging program of choice is MacLoggerDX, this nifty native mac app allows logging, spotting, contesting and remote rig control (to my ic9100) http://www.dogparksoftware.com/MacLoggerDX.html Don also writes a very neat mac based Satellite tracking program called MacDoppler. Though with no real Satellite interest, i haven't acquired that program.
- The Locator field in the DX and Contest Panels will tell you what Geolocation method MacLoggerDX has used for each lookup: MacLoggerDX resolves all call signs to the DXCC country level using the data published in the ARRL Operating guide: 'Locator: Country'.
- Then I import that into MacLoggerDX, and haven't had any problems. I am using v6.14 of MLDX, but I wouldn't think that is an issue. Using WSJT-X 1.8 rc2, and JTAlertX v2.10.3 I just did it this weekend and imported a bunch of QSOs into MLDX and then updated the info in them with callbook, uploaded them to QRZ and LOTW automatically.
- MacLoggerDX HD is an Amateur Radio application that monitors the spots from your favourite DX Cluster for DXing, casual Contesting or rag-chewing. It Alerts you to rare contacts or band openings by looking up and displaying real time propagation paths on a zoomable map. MacLoggerDX HD can log your contacts to a super fast sql database.
This RadioShack Portable Analog AM/FM/WX Weather Tabletop Radio with Analog tuner is a versatile, lightweight and portable radio, perfect for everyday use, vacations, and e. more $49.99 $55.00 (9% off). Being able to rotate the aerial would help. I get out of area stations on my Pure tuner via a 5 element DAB yagi, but only in the direction it points. If I had a rotator like FM DXers have then I would almost certainly get some interesting stuff - though DX has lost a bit of sparkle since practically every station has online presense.
Printworks 1 2 2 – all purpose desktop publishing. The program has a sister app for iPads. called MacLoggerDX HD, this software will share adif log files and offers all of the main apps functions on the iPad. I use the ipad when camping or from the car to log my contacts https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/macloggerdx-hd/id418108595?mt=8
But i think the best feature of all, is the remote rig control! watch this very neat video of the rig control in action!. 😀
