Core features

Built around real field operating workflows.

POTA

POTA Activations

Create single- or multi-park activations, log Park-to-Park contacts, track activation QSO count, search the offline parks database, and discover nearby active parks using GPS.

TOTA

TOTA Activations

Create TOTA activations using 6-character Maidenhead tiles, select tiles by GPS or map, log Tile-to-Tile contacts, and optionally record a GPS Journey.

MULTI

Multi-Program Sessions

Operate TOTA and POTA simultaneously from one logging screen while W4MSI Logger maintains separate program records for review and export.

OPS

Multi-Operator Contacts

Log several operators from the same exchange without re-entering shared reports, P2P parks, T2T tiles, band, mode, or frequency.

OFF

Offline Field Operation

Core logging works without internet access. Optional downloadable callsign data, worldwide POTA park data, and supported U.S. offline map packages extend field capability.

GPS

Journey & Mapping

Record TOTA Journeys in the background, monitor Inside/Outside tile status, receive boundary alerts, view routes, find parks, and select tiles or parks on the map.

LOG

General Log

Log everyday contacts outside an activation with callsign lookup, contact editing, and ADIF import/export.

ADIF

ADIF & GPX Export

Save or share activation ADIF files and recorded Journey GPX files for compatible logging, activation, GPS, and mapping services.

BACKUP

Backup & Restore

Create portable backups containing settings, activations, QSOs, General Log contacts, linked session information, and Journey GPS points.

Inside the app

A clean interface designed for actual operating.

From choosing an activation program to finding a park, logging shared contacts, reviewing linked activations, and preparing exports, the workflow is built for quick use on a phone in the field.

Portable by design

Core logging works where the internet doesn't.

W4MSI Logger keeps core logging and activation functions local to the device, so QSOs and activations remain usable without cellular or Wi-Fi service.

Android users can optionally download an offline U.S. Amateur Radio callsign database, an offline worldwide POTA parks database, and supported U.S. offline map packages before heading into the field.

Your data stays under your control. No W4MSI Logger account is required. Logs, activations, settings, and Journey information are primarily stored locally. W4MSI Logger contains no third-party advertising and does not operate a central cloud service for storing your Amateur Radio logs.

Recorded QSO information can include

  • Contact, operator, and station callsigns
  • Band, mode, and operating frequency
  • RST sent and received
  • Transmit power
  • Local and UTC timestamps
  • POTA park and Park-to-Park references
  • TOTA tile and Tile-to-Tile information
  • Saved callsign lookup information
  • Multi-operator and multi-program linkage
