I thought that was an interesting analysis too. I'd like to see the same
for
ARRL DX, CQ WW/WPX and SweepStakes!

I tried N1MM and, yes they do have excellent response to feature requests.
Switched back and forth between WL and MM ---- I really like the 'feel' of
WL.

As far as N1MM - I didn't think so..

As far as N1MM - I didn't think so.

Well, free always wins a lot of hams - free doesn't have to be better to
most
hams. And $30 a year is virtually free .... You can afford a multi
thousand
dollar radio(s), tower(s), screaming fast logging PC with broadband access
and
you can't afford $30 a year for a really good logging program?
I haven't tried WinTest because it doesn't support the QSO parties and
some of the other contests that WL does. I tried TRlog a couple of years
ago
and didn't want to deal with the learning curve. And I loved CT & CTWin,
but
it is unsupported now - or virtually unsupported anyhow.
So there's my 2 cents. Now if WriteLog would support WinkeyUSB I'd really
be happy!
