so ive been using N1MM pretty much exclusively for the last few years mostly because thats what everyone in my club uses and it made sense to just go with what people around me knew. works great for contests obviously but outside of contest season i find myself just kind of forcing it to do stuff it wasnt really designed for, like tracking LoTW confirmations and doing general day to day logging without everything feeling like im in the middle of a pileup

someone at the last club meeting mentioned Log4OM and i downloaded it and poked around for maybe 20 minutes but honestly couldnt figure out where anything was. the interface felt really different. does it actually integrate with WSJT-X decently? that's probably my biggest thing right now since i've been doing a lot of FT8 and the logging flow between WSJT-X and N1MM has always felt a little clunky to me even with UDP set up correctly

not really looking to switch completely just curious if anyone runs both or switched from one to the other and what the actual day to day difference felt like

yeah i ran N1MM for contests and Log4OM for everything else for about two years and it works fine actually. Log4OM's WSJT-X integration is pretty solid once you get the UDP port configured right, it just auto-imports the contacts and handles the dupe checking against your master log. the learning curve is real though, took me a weekend of just clicking around before it clicked. the LoTW sync in Log4OM is way better than trying to wrangle that in N1MM outside of a contest context, that part alone made it worth it for me

the thing i will say is dont try to use Log4OM for a serious contest, it's just not built for that. the rate display and the way it handles multipliers is nowhere near what N1MM does. so my workflow is still N1MM for any contest and then i export the ADIF after and import into Log4OM to keep my master log clean

the WSJT-X to N1MM thing has always been a bit annoying honestly. i gave up on trying to get them to play nice and just let WSJT-X log to its own file then import periodically. probably not the cleanest way to do it but it works and i dont have to think about it
