While I enter several contestes a year, I try to do my share of
DX and rag chewing. I usually have a computer hooked to my rigs.
SInce I try to upload every HF contact to LotW -- I even log net
control for the Elecraft SSB net and anyone I relayed for I need
my QSOs in machine readable form. Entering them into RUMlog when
I make them saves a lot of the kind of clerical work I am bad at
and don't like to do, as well as avoiding the transcription
errors I make all too frequently.
Unless I'm running digital modes, all radio operation is through
the knobs and buttons. I think RUMped does some rig control, but
I only run it during contests, and don't really notice what it
is doing -- the best kind of assistant.
I even went to the extent of building a low power, BeagleBone
Black based computer system for field day/SOTA like uses. I
haven't spent much time using it, but building it and its case
was fun.

takes the freq and mode and upper/lower sideband from the rig.
