so ive been using N1MM for a while now mostly for contests and it does what it does really well, dont get me wrong, but outside of contest season i find myself fighting it a bit for everyday logging. the interface feels like its designed for someone who has 6 monitors and a paddle in each hand, which honestly maybe thats fine if thats your thing

anyway a buddy at the club keeps pushing me toward Log4OM and i downloaded it last week and been poking around. the general day to day logging stuff feels a lot more comfortable, way easier to just log a random 40m QSO without it feeling like im setting up for a sprint. but now im wondering how well it plays with WSJT-X because i do a fair amount of FT8 especially in winter when the bands get weird and i dont want to lose that UDP integration or have it be a pain to set up

has anyone run Log4OM as their main logger with WSJT-X feeding into it and then switched over to N1MM just for contest weekends? wondering if juggling two loggers is actually workable or if i should just bite the bullet and learn to live with N1MM full time. also curious if theres a way to keep the ADIFs in sync without it turning into a mess

yeah i do exactly this, Log4OM for everyday stuff and N1MM when a contest comes up. the WSJT-X integration with Log4OM works fine honestly, you just point the UDP port at it same as you would with any logger, just make sure youre not trying to run both loggers at the same time or theyll both be trying to eat the same UDP packets and it gets weird

the ADIF sync thing is the only real headache. what i do is just export from N1MM after a contest and import into Log4OM to keep my master log clean. takes maybe 5 minutes after a weekend and i havent had duplicate issues as long as i let Log4OM check for dupes on import. not a perfect system but it works well enough that ive been doing it for like two years without any real disasters

Log4OM with WSJT-X is what i run and it mostly just works. had one weird thing where it stopped logging FT8 contacts after an update to WSJT-X but that turned out to be the UDP port number had reset to default in WSJT-X and i hadnt noticed. once i sorted that out it was fine. i think the Log4OM forums have a setup guide thats pretty clear if you get stuck
