Hi all,
Playing with some log book software I found online through DXZone and other sources. Nothing so far seems to be geared, or even suited to satellite work, meaning; They all have one frequency field, few have satellite as a propagation, few track grids and states worked, etc.
What I'm hoping to find is a log book that's Satellite and Earth-Earth friendly that'll track VUCC, WAS, and misc other awards (even if I must add them and parameters myself) and that'll allow me a Tx and Rx frequency field along with Satellite prop and which bird worked and integration with LotW and eQSL would be nice. (I know, I may be asking a bit much H-I)
Google is a bit over whelming and time consuming to sift through, download, trial, and ultimately uninstall each piece of software I find.
So what do you all use? I'm open to suggestions as I'm sure this may help others who are curious.

I use ACLog by N3FJP http://www.n3fjp.com/ it works quite well, and fairly easy to use. You can contact me direct and I'll let you know how I have it setup.

I have the N3FJP program. I changed the "Other 2" column/tab to "SAT", and I simply put in a "Y" if the contact is a sat contact. ( I put the sat name in "other".
Is there a way under awards to see how many grid squares I have worked under the qualifier of a "Y" in the SAT column?

Try the DXLab Suite: http://dxlabsuite.com/
I can't address EME, but it can be configured for satellite operations, and correctly supports both LotW and eQSL for satellites. Support is excellent. In addition to a log, it also handles spotting, has a module for working RTTY, some of the PSK modes, etc. However, you can use as much or as little as needed, and it is very customizable. I figure I use about 10%. It is also completely free.

I will second the motion. DXLab has been a great one for me, it has a lot of flexibility for satellites plus terrestrial contacts.

Jeremy,
I downloaded the HRD (Ham Radio Deluxe) logbook, and I have been using it for about a month now. It is completely customizable, geared toward satellite users, and its FREE!!! You can download it here:

I too have been using HRD, use it for digi modes in local simplex groups here in York, PA. My only issue is the single frequency field. Which isn't Terrible and works fine for logging. Was hoping for dual frequency fields to track my Doppler shifting, etc. I'll check out some other recommendations.
Thanks to all! Gave me a few avenues to explore.

I use VQLog by EA6VQ. You can find it here http://www.vhfdx.info/vqlog.html. It is very satellite friendly. It will even list individual sat names and the modes. Tracks grids with a map or tables. And like most logbooks it will track awards. Very reasonably priced.
