Initially I planned to use N1MM+, and got it to work alongside SatPC32.

And thanks to Erich, DK1TB, for enabling DDE in SatPC32, it makes things easier, the spreadsheet integrates with SatPC32 to grab the Satellite Name, Up/Dn Frequencies, Modes and Time. Then I can export the spreadsheet log as an ADI file. ( Since my other laptop does not have MS Excel, I ported it to Open Office Calc too. )

Hello friends,
I'll be operating our club satellite station for Field Day and intend to submit results towards the club ARRL score as well as the AMSAT contest. In past years we have kept paper records during the event then typed them out for submission, but last year we vowed to find a logging program that would support satellite contacts. Even if we have to manually sort the ARRL from the AMSAT results at the end I think it would be worthwhile. So I'm looking for suggestions.
Our club is using "N3FJP Field Day Contest Log" which I don't think allows logging the same contact on multiple satellites per AMSAT rules. Would "N3FJP Amateur Contact Log" be better suited? I don't mind paying for good software, especially if I can use it for my own satellite logging later. Or if an Excel spreadsheet is truly the best option then I'll consider that.
Thanks and 73, Alex VA3ASE
