Club Log is a web-based application that analyses log files from radio amateurs all over the world. Using the logs, Club Log offers you a wide range of reports for your own benefit, and identifies large scale trends from the sum of all activity in the database. According to Michael G7VJR, Club Log author, if you participate in Club Log by uploading your log you will receive:

◾Personal DXCC reports and league tables
◾Detailed analysis of your log, using researched DXCC information
◾Zone charts for your log, again based on detailed research
◾A personal timeline of your activity (DXCCs per year, band and mode info)
◾Your own log search tool, eg. to link from your web page or QRZ profile
◾A filtered DX Cluster which only tells you about DX you still ‘need’
◾A say in the Club Log most wanted report: your log is part of the trend data
◾Access to propagation and activity predictions, using everyone’s logs
◾QSL suggestions to help you send out just the cards you need
◾Satisfaction from taking part in and improving a free DXing resource.

If you use the OQRS system of using PayPal to pay the fee to DXpeditions for their QSL cards, without sending yours (they surely don’t need 100,000 cards anyway), then you are familiar with Club Log as many of the DXpeditions use it to store their logs for matching to your entries. If you are a member of Club Log and have your log uploaded, you do not have to enter the data for each contact to a DXpedition to prove you made the contacts, but merely use Club Log to match the contacts.
