I have finally decided to use CQR log http://cqrlog.com/ for logging contacts I make. Its a free program that natively runs on Linux. I have gone through and put most of my cotacts from my paper logs into it. I decieded to use it because it can talk to HDRlog, QRZ, and hamqth. I am using hamqth to auto fill teh fields when I log a new contact since its free compared to qrz. I am using HDRlog to provie a web version of my logbook. I have it displayed on the amateur radio tab on this site. I like that it maps out my contacts.
I am still trying to get the hang of QSL cards, electronic QSLs via eqsl.cc and how to enter them in the logging software.
The family had a good Christmas and everyone is healthy for the start of the new year!
