GRIDTRACKER: A SUPER UTILTY FOR HAM RADIO OPERATORS
Note: In order for Gridtracker to log your QSO's directly into QRZ you must be a subscriber. The minimum subscription is the "QRZ XML Logbook Data," which is about $36 a year. It is well worth it because you can prompt your WSJT to prompt the logging window automatically after each QSO. You can add comments (such as POTA or IOTA) and power output. Click send and you are done.
If you have EQSL.CC it will send out a digital QSL card as well. EQSL.CC bronze membership is $12 for a full year.
