Logger32 is a well-established amateur radio logging program designed primarily for DXers who require a flexible and data-driven logging environment. The software maintains a comprehensive logbook database capable of handling large volumes of QSOs while offering detailed tracking of DXCC entities, awards, and band/mode statistics. One of the core strengths of Logger32 is its DX cluster integration. The program connects to telnet DX clusters and displays spots in real time, with filtering options by band, mode, country, or callsign. The cluster window can automatically highlight needed DXCC entities, band-fills, or new modes based on the operator’s log. Logger32 also provides rig control through CAT interfaces, supporting a wide range of transceivers via serial or USB connections. When properly configured, frequency and mode are automatically captured in the log entry window. The software supports digital mode integration through external applications and can exchange information using standard interfaces. Another important feature is its award tracking system, including DXCC, WAS, IOTA and other common amateur radio awards. The program calculates worked, confirmed, and needed entities with detailed reports. Logger32 supports ADIF import and export, allowing interoperability with other logging systems. It also includes QSL management, with tracking for bureau, direct, and electronic confirmations such as LoTW or eQSL when configured. Overall, Logger32 remains a technically capable logging solution focused on DX tracking, cluster awareness, and detailed statistical analysis of operating activity.
