The Club Log gateway is a tool developed by G7VJR to enable real-time uploads from three popular networked logging software tools, DXLog, N1MM and Win-Test. It replaces other plugins that upload to Club Log with a more efficient and reliable solution.
The gateway is easy to use, and designed for robustness with specific functionality on both ends of the connection to make it as bulletproof as possible. If you want to upload to Club Log automatically, in real-time or nearly real-time on an expedition, you should, ideally, use this tool instead of doing it any other way (even if bandwidth is not a big concern).
During the period of around November and December 2025, the Club Log Gateway has been significantly rewritten. The main objective of the work was to ensure that the gateway is exhaustively tested on Windows. Additionally, a graphical user interface has been added to the Windows and macOS builds. Here’s a screenshot of the Windows version:
As well as the new GUIs, the gateway now has an active heartbeat feature. This is used to tell Club Log when the client (i.e. the DX gateway) is up and running, even when QSOs are not being made. The -heartbeat flag is set to once every 30 seconds, but can of course be disabled as needed.
The main benefit of the heartbeat is best illustrated by looking at a Livestream, where the “pulse” for the DX is up to date.
This is only supported when using the Club Log Gateway (December 2025 and later builds), so please remember to update your binaries.
