Great idea, and well executed.
Only downer is the sometimes very slow server it seems to live at.

A wide range of log analysis and expedition tools
|
Time owned: more than 12 months

Club Log is a web-based application which uses a database to analyse amateur radio log files, which are uploaded in the common ADIF format. Using the logs, it is possible to build band-mode league tables of amateurs' QSOs, provide efficient log search tools and create most wanted lists for DXCC entities (both over all time and in recent history, or by mode for example).
Also, Club Log can give back to its users the ability to find "wanted" DX spots, take part in competitions with other members of the same club, and provides other analysis of logs which might be hard to do with normal logging software, such as identifying and suggesting QSL opportunities or proposing popular LoTW stations to work in rare DXCCs. One particularly interesting feature provides a year-by-year break down of your QSOs and preferred modes, again all just by uploading an ADIF.
Club Log is also DXpedition tool, helping with the planning by exposing rare bands and modes, and providing real-time leaderboards, log search and online QSL tools for expeditions to easily plumb into their web sites.
Club Log started as a project within the Chiltern DX Club (CDXC). It now has a worldwide user base, however, and there are around 6 million QSOs stored in the database. If you are working your way up the DXCC lists, or even if you are just interested in seeing some statistics on your ham radio log, then head to http://www.clublog.org/.

Very useful DXer's tool
|
Time owned: 3 to 6 months

I'm licensed since 1965, but was never really interested in QSLing, DXCC awards etc....That is, until now. Because of my lazy approach to logging, my database was quite a mess. However, since I uploaded my log to Clublog, that situation has changed dramatically. Clublog, has sorted out the vast majority of my logging mistakes. Because of it, I have been able to correct all the QSOs that were logged to the incorrect DXCC entity. This is actually quite complicated when you have IOTA DXpeditioners island hopping all over the Pacific, and traditional prefixes changing to a new entity, as with Yugoslavia, the USSR etc.
With 20,000 QSOs in my computer log, there was no way I was going to pick my way through them all, looking for mistakes. Instead, all I had to do, was to upload my log to Clublog, and about 15 minutes later, I received an email with a long list of incorrect log entries. After fixing these entries, I uploaded again, and most of the mistakes were gone. I upload on a fairly regular basis, and my log is now as accurate as most.
Of course, this is just one aspect of Clublog, which was a major plus for me, but there are many other useful aspects, even if it's only to log on and drive yourself mad with envy, when you see the juicy DX that your neighbour has worked, and that you missed out on.. {:o)
Many thanks Michael G7VJR for this great resource.

Club Log is a great tool and very versatile.
|
Time owned: more than 12 months

I have been using Club Log for some time now, it is a great tool and very versatile, let me explain. Registration just couldn't be easier, anyone can register and are welcome to join in. Uploading logs is simple to do just click on Upload in the tool bar for the upload window, once you have browsed your hard drive for the ADIF just Send and add to your callsign.
Be sure that if you are uploading DX'pedition logs that you tick "no" for "show in leagues". DX'pedition logs are important to get as much data as possible into the database. But are not required for the tables which should be used for operator calls only.
DXCC League tables can be filtered for Mode selection, Worked or Confirmed and by Date filter for 2009, Last 12 months or 36 months. Click on generate tables and then you get the league table.
Club Log is great for club events such as the Chiltern DX Club's "LF Challenge" which takes place every March the database can be used to filter bands and dates to make it fun to view the table as the challenge developes over the weeks.
A brilliant tool that is under ongoing development by its author Michael G7VJR. This all adds a great new dimension to statistics. Thank you Michael and good luck for the future of this exciting project.

Excellent tool for DXers
|
Time owned: months
|
Club Log has blossomed from a small web site for use by one group of DXers into a world-wide interest site containing millions of logs.
Many DXers send their scores to magazines and DX bulletins but the beauty of Club Log is that it maybe updated in minutes with one's latest logs. DXers may choose to be included in various categories, e.g. radio club or society, national, continental, world-wide, etc.
Behind the scenes a great deal of work goes on to ensure the accuracy of logs in the system. DXCC entities from many years ago, some with restricted "acceptance" dates are all carefully checked and users are notified immediately if any uploaded logs are unacceptable for DXCC.
Go take a look. If you keep your log on a PC there's an excellent chance that you can upload it in a few seconds. Join NOW and enjoy!
Grateful thanks to Michael, G7VJR and Alan, G3PMR/5B4AHJ for their sterling work.

Innovative database
|
Time owned: 6 to 12 months
|
This website provides a database of DXCC Countries worked by subscribing radio amateurs who have submitted their own computerised logs in the now common ADIF format to a server.
The project was conceived as an experiment in 2008 by Michael Wells G7VJR. Amateurs from all continents are represented in the project, however as of February 2009 84% of participants are European.
The database is a useful tool for various types of log analyis and comparison. More details can be found on how it works by checking out the URL. To join in you have to become a member, and there are no subscription fees!
