RUMlog is a logging, QSL handling and printing tool, especially made for the short wave DXer, made by a DXer. Basic logging features are included for the higher bands up to 1.2 cm and for satellite. RUMlog can handle an unlimited number of logs and an unlimited number of QSOs per log. An user editable, all time country database is used for automatic DXCC recognition.

Save your multi media data within the log book file using drag and drop.

RUMlog includes calculations, routines, tables and an interactive gray line map to support the user in gray line dxing.

Using RUMlog you can print QSL card and address labels on your favorite label size and manage your incoming paper QSLs. The Logbook of The World (LoTW) and eQSL are fully supported, and you can create files for the Global QSL service very quick. You can get different statistics for paper- or LoTW QSLs. It's just a mouse click to upload or download new QSLs to/from eQSL or LoTW.

RUMlog can use the K7PT dx activity and QSL manager database to inform you about current dx activities and it can build and use an own manager and IOTA database, extracting the information from dx-cluster spots. Provisions are made to query the qrz.com online library. Save the retrieved data into the Mac's address book.

RUMlog keeps you up to date about worked, confirmed or missing DXCCs and provides you with country lists and detailed statistics. Quick log searches or more detailed log queries and export routines are possible.

RUMlog can establish multiple dx-cluster connection via the internet or to your local skimmer. A simple terminal is integrated for a Packet Radio connection. RUMlog will separate DX-spots and alert you via e-mail or Growl when there is a ,new one' DXCC or IOTA spotted. Multiple interactive band maps virtualize activities on the air. LoTW users are identified in dx-spots.

RUMlog can interface with two transceivers, setting the main parameter on your TRX from the logbook or vice versa. Kenwood, Elecraft, Yaesu, Icom and TenTec transceivers are supported. More controls are provided for the Elecraft K3.

RUMlog has import and export functions to allow exchange of log data in different formats to other logging tools.

RUMlog can interface with Google Maps (Web-Browser based) and Google Earth. (Must be installed on your computer)

Except the DXCC statistics, RUMlog tracks the most interesting areas of the world for the most important awards: IOTA islands, CQ zones, ITU zones, Grid Squares, US States, US Counties, German DOKs and more.

Work CW, RTTY and other digital QSOs direct in the RUMlog application, using cocoaModem as interface. The data (log + trx) exchange with fldigi is supported. The WinKeyer and few microHAM devices are supported.

RUMlog interacts with Clublog and keeps your online log synchronized in real time.

Tom,

Thanks for the update.

I have been working my way though the changes.

So far one question I have is it seems that my CQ Marathon flags on the DX Spots page are not accurate any more. I am getting a lot of red flags for countries that I have already worked this year.

It seems this only occurs when DX Spots is set to a single band.

I guess it's checking for QSO's on that band for the year. It works fine if set to ALL.

Actually, this would be a feature for someone chasing single band Marathon.

Thanks!

Yes, you are right. I just stated in the release notes:

• DX-Marathon markings per band added

Of course, this is not very well and clear explained. There is also a category by mode in the DX-Marathon rules, but this is not supported.

There was found a very critical bug in version 5.0 and 5.0.1!
When you see a message like "PRIMARY KEY must be unique" contact me for repair instructions!
Please do not use any longer these versions and download the latest RUMlog here:

Only the RUMlog application file itself was changed.

Hi Tom,
I just upgraded to Mountain Lion. I downloaded version 5.0.2 and got a message saying "RUMlog can't be opened because it is from an unidentified developer." I assume changing my security preferences to allow applications from anywhere should fix the issue? Many thanks!

Another way is to Control click (or right click) on the RUMlog icon and select Open from the contextual menu.

Since 5.0.2, RUMlog freezes on ML when trying to open the preferences Window - does anybody else have this issue?

No freezing here.

Seems like it is a computer specific problem. My other computer doesn't freeze...
