Don't know specifically what features you are looking for, but LOGic 5 is a
logging program that has lots of bells and whistles, including provision for
grid locator and a "via" field in which satellite and mode information can be
recorded.  It will also allow tracking of just about any type of award you can
dream up.  Info at http://www.hosenose.com/

I have no affiliation with this company, nor have I actually used the software
(it's on order, however).
