Mac Ham Radio.
MacHamRadio (www.MacHamRadio.com) started in 2003 by Steve Muncy, NI5V as a site to promote ham software for the newly released Mac OSX.
Steve had supported the site for 5 years before moving on to new endeavors. October 2008, Lee Imber, WW2DX then took over the reins to keep machamradio.com the nets #1 resource for Mac Ham Radio enthusiasts. I look forward to continuing Steve’s great contribution and also welcome all to help promote and expand the technologies of this great hobby and operating system.

CabConverter
CabConverter is a program written in 2002, by Scott, NE1RD, that converts a radio log file exported from MacLogger DX into a format popular with radio contest sponsors called Cabrillo.
In January 2013, release 2.0 of CabConverter was released, making CabConverter 1.xx obsolete.
CabConverter is designed around ARRL & RSGB Contests unfortunately. The big Australian/Oceania contests such as the Oceania DX Contest are unfortunately not supported.
Currently CabConverter supports the following Contests:-
Scott stated:-
'One of the recurring themes in the discussion boards for the prgram was "Can you support this or that new contest?" I tried, at least at first, to keep up with all the new requests. In the end, there are far too many contests for one person to support--and nearly all of the new requests were contests I had no interest in entering. Updating the program for each contest was time consuming and soo I was forced to decline request for enhancements'.
One of the new features of Release 2.00 of CabConverter is the capability of users writing their own contests. You can add a new .xml file to the CCContests directory. However, despite the claims that 'composing a "recipe" for a contest is not difficult', a fairly good knowledge of XML is required to 'compose a contest recipe'.

Aether Log
Aether Log is a ham radio logging application for Mac OS X.
I used Aether whilst I was a Short Wave Listener.
Aether includes tools to quickly and easily log QSOs while on the air, as well as organize, search and track your QSOs later.
Aether was designed for Mac OS X, and has the same kind of clean, intuitive, friendly interface you've come to expect on the Mac.
