I currently have the same problem...I haven't submitted an update to my DXCC In
years. I'm using DXBase and have come to hate it. Looking for something new.
I noticed DXlab has a whole suite of products...are they all part of DXKeeper
or the other way around...with DXKeeper being a part of the DXLab suite. Is it
all free? I don't mind paying for a nicely functional product with good
support. Currently using the whole suite of DXAtlas station tools which I
highly recommend but it doesn't cover logging. I noticed DXLab seems to have
some of the same type stuff as DXAtlas.
Sorry for the questions...my attention span is a bit narrow today...came down
with a nasty cold last night and just feel rotten. Haven't spent much time on
the website.
