Core logging works where the internet doesn't.

W4MSI Logger keeps its core logging and activation functions local to the device. You can continue logging contacts and managing activations when cellular or Wi-Fi service is unavailable.

Mapping features may require an internet connection, while previously loaded map data may remain available from cache.

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

Recorded QSO information can include

  • Contact and operator callsigns
  • Band, mode, and operating frequency
  • RST sent and received
  • Transmit power
  • Local and UTC timestamps
  • Activation and TOTA tile information
  • Tile-to-Tile information
Developed by an operator

Built by W4MSI.

W4MSI Logger is developed by Dustin Smith – W4MSI with an emphasis on practical Amateur Radio field operation. Additional activation programs and tools are planned for future updates.
