All of LOGic's features -- Spotting, Awards Tracking, Info Center, Rig & Rotor control, Gray Line, QSL printing and management,  and  QSL Manager's database -- work together to make LOGic the DXer's dream.

When you log a station or see him in LOGic's spot log, you will know instantly if you need him on a particular band or mode. You can see at a glance his name and QTH , details of all your past QSOs,  if you have his QSL or are waiting for it. LOGic interfaces to the HB9BZA Logbook of the World database. See instantly if the station uses LoTW. If he does, you can expect a rapid confirmation.

LOGic features Azimuthal-equidistant map centered on your QTH. It shows gray line, sun position, QTH of station being worked, and plots of worldwide spot activity. Zoomable for VHF work. Create map graphics to use with other programs.

The Gray Line report shows all DXCC countries that are on the gray line, and what is the best time to try to work them.

The QSLs Needed for Award report displays all QSOs for worked but unconfirmed entities. This shows you where to concentrate your efforts in re-sending QSLs. Many new LOGic customers are pleasantly surprised when they easily confirm several new countries without working through a single pileup.

The SubawardTM feature tracks QRP DXCC just as easily as regular DXCC.

Short and long beam headings are shown, as well as return headings, which permit you to tell the other station how to point his antenna towards you.

Control for up to four rotors, with automatic selecton and offset based on frequency. Band switch support is included.

The Units Conversion calculator allows you to converse with a DX station using terms that are familiar to him.  Tell him your temperature un Celsius or how far you are from a major city in Kilometers.

Announcements are generated not only for needed DXCC, but for zones, continent, WPX prefix, IOTA, and grid squares.

Spots may be plotted on LOGic's gray line map to graphically illustrate global propagation. Filtering permits you to ignore spots based on any criteria--for example, band, mode, or even the country of the station posting the spot or his distance from you.


LOGic has a superb spotting facility.

The Alerts feature displays  and announces spots of interest regardless of awards progress status.  Use to watch for a DX friend, for example.


Descriptive announcements are given in voice.  For instance, "Tango Five on ten meters CW" or "IOTA oscar charlie zero one five on 20 meters phone". Conventional CW announcements are also available.

Spots and alerts may be emailed to you -- great for monitoring activity on your cell phone or pager. Email may be sent for alerts only, notifying you only of highly-desirable spots.

The spot log is coordinated with LOGic's info center, Previous QSO display,  Memberships display, callbook, and LoTW Users database, so you may see all info about the station being spotted at a glance.

The test spot generator makes it easy to simulate the reception of any spot to test your spotting or alert setup.
