I tend to agree. I use Logic for normal QSL chores and general log
management. WL is a superb contest logger, so why add more complication?

Off topic, but I just say your name in the reply line. Haven't talked to
you since 1993 when you were at Humphries and I was up at CRC (HL9AX)! I
did run into Harry (HL9HH) the other day. Drop me a note, if I do in fact
have the correct Gary!

Subject: Re: [WriteLog] FCC Callsign Database with WriteLog?
Personally, I think this would just be another distraction. After all this
is a CONTEST logger, I use DX4Win for my QSLing. Leave this type of thing
for that type of program.
