You might also want to note comments about the contact’s rig, antenna and quality of their CW, if pertinent. Non-essential information that is worth recording is your signal report and that of the contact.
It is unwise to mix UTC and local times and dates together in the log use one or the other. Of course, you are free to use local time as long as you indicate this clearly in the log. They keep UTC date and time straight automatically. This is an advantage of the computerized logging programs. Using UTC eliminates confusion over time zones or daylight saving time, but you must remember to change the date at 0000Z, which could be anywhere from 4 PM to 7 PM local standard time for a North American station. When you enter the date and time, Universal Coordinated Time (UTC) or Zulu as it is commonly called, is highly recommended. For your operation record the date, frequency, mode and power output for the contact station record their call sign, the time the contact started and ended, their signal report, name and location (QTH).

ADIFMaster does a good (but not perfect) job of catching errors. After using HAMRS for logging my hunts and activations, I run every exported ADIF file through ADIFMaster to clean up and verify that the file is ready for submission to the POTA admin or the LOTW upload. While there are still bugs, the app works well enough for me to use it in the field and at home. Another helpful visual is color coding worked stations. As a hunter I only work CW so selecting mode was big improvement over wading through the list of stations. While hunting, HAMRS now provides the ability to select the mode of the activating station. I have been using HAMRS while activating and hunting.
