What I was actually referring to as inappropriate was
KE4TEG's comment "If your going to be cheap and use
shareware . . ."
For general purpose logging, I've purchased two big
$$$ commercial logging programs, but actually prefer
to use K4CY's freeware "Logger" software. It's not
because I'm cheap, it's because I prefer the interface
and find it easier to use and full-featured.
DXTelnet is another fantastic piece of software and
yes, it is dreaded "SHAREWARE." I think I paid the
author about $30 or so, not because I'm cheap, because
it is very well supported and - I like the interface
and find it easy to use and full-featured.
