jLog is a modern Logging program for Hams that can run on all major platforms, e.g. macOS, Linux, Windows, etc. It offers a nice, clean interface and allows efficient entry of QSOs.

It is available for free so you can afford to try it!

• Fast log searches (typically < 1 second)
• Separate tracking of Paper, eQSL and LoTW QSL status
• Powerful Internet support
  • Real-time logging with eQSL and LoTW
  • DX Cluster tracking with Graphical display
  • QRZ and US FCC lookups

• Built-in CW Keyer
• CAT control for many popular rigs
