This statement is too broad, though I agree that other programs are
better for the task of keeping long term logs, doing QSLs, tracking
awards, etc.
Several post-contest tasks are germane (in fact, very important) to the
goals of contest software. Real-time operating support and post-contest
reporting are both important. The emphasis should be on real-time
support, but who better to provide the data crunching that we tend to
want/need (rate lists, summary sheets, band-hour breakdowns, etc.) than
the contest-savvy logging programmer? Your time is certainly well spent
on what happens after the contest.
Isn't that why you call it POST?
Thanks, Tree.
