[CQ-Contest] LOG software for contest-oriented guys

[Pedro Pedroso]

	Hello !
	For several years I have used paper log for "normal" QSOs and
	CT for contest QSOs. When I decided to get a software to manage
	all QSOs, QSLs, awards,...etc I check some of the most popular
	ones but my choice was (and still is) DX4WIN !
	It is the best logging program I have ever seen. It can import
	files from a lot (if not all !) other logging software made
	before. I also put over 2000 QSOs from my old paper log, and
	it was not difficult.
	I don't use it for contesting because I have other contest
	dedicated software that gives more info about score and rates,
	etc ...
	But at the end I import everything to DX4win.
	I don't get any money for the publicity, so I am just being honest

Hello everybody,

I would like to have your opinion on which is the best software to keep
my logs from different contests. My requirements are:

Hi Mike,

Another logging program you might wish to consider is DX4WIN from
Rapidan Data Systems. This will fully meet your requirements in that
allows you to keep and manage multiple log files.

If you need more details you may wish to visit their web site
(www.erols.com/pvander), or contact them via email at steve at 1bigred.com.

Good luck in your decision making,

Darrell
NR3Y/W6.

ps. If you want a users perspective, feel free to contact me directly.
