Logging contacts in the field.
I have always used a paper log out in the field, but have always used an electronic log at home - MacLoggerDX.
When I get home following a park or SOTA activation, I use a program called Fast Log Entry (FLE) to data enter my contacts.
This creates an ADIF file which I can them upload to MacLogger DX and also to WWFF Logsearch.

Fast Log Entry (FLE)
Fast Log Entry (FLE) is a text editor and logger to enter QSO data as easy and fast as possible without redundancy, either in real-time or off-line. This tool is useful if you couldn't take a logging computer for your DXpedition or portable activity, want to digitize old paper logs or if you need a simple but efficient logger.
FLE consists of two main panels - a text editor with customizable context-sensitive highlighting and a QSO data grid. The grid shows the completed QSO records, they can be saved as ADIF file (Amateur Data Interchange Format) or in Cabrillo format.
