In those Dim, Dark Days between real signal reports and chip-embedded 5NNs,
we then-young squirts were advised to choose from one of four reports:
539 -- pretty weak
559 -- OK sigs
579 -- strong
599 -- WOW!
That from-nine-to-four reduction in possibilities takes a lot of pressure
off the ol' thinker during a contest. Besides, when you send everything on
a bug, it's nice to have a little variation!

Greetings,
I've added some links to several logging software providers Web pages
(from my personal web page). Some of the programs are for Windows, too.
Here's the URL:
