[CQ-Contest] Logging Program Question

[Scott Nichols]

Ray...

FWIW, I have been trying out different logging programs for years and 
have yet to find one that covers everything I want for contesting AND 
general logging, all in one package...

My absolute favourite (by far)  for contesting is N1MM Logger, a real 
Windows program (no DOS Windows, Boot disks, TSR's and stuff) with all 
the features needed...Programmable macros for CW, SSB wav files, RTTY 
and PSK31...Connects to Telnet/Packet for spotting...The best looking 
bandmaps I have seen..."Enter Sends Message" mode is one of my favourite 
features (eliminates using "F" keys for each message, the ENTER key 
takes you through the whole QSO, from CQ to TU)...Two radio 
support...Excellent technical support and it's FREE (Not Shareware with 
a free trial version, it's free for the latest fully functional 
version)....Cabrillo, ADIF etc etc export...The list goes on and on...A 
real professionally done, fully featured piece of Windows software...Try 
it...

WriteLog is also an excellent Windows contesting program...Can't vouch 
for it's general logging capabilities, but it is a good contesting 
program...Between Writelog and N1MM, I get just about all the contests 
supported that I work...

For general logging I have chosen Win-EQF...Great award tracking, 
searching, radio support and a fairly good contesting module...It's 
designed more-so for general logging vs contesting

A search will give you dozens of other ones...Some good, some not so 
good and many I haven't tried...10 people will give you 10 different 
opinions...Try a bunch of them, there are lots and one may just fit what 
your looking for...

Have not heard of a website that rates the major ones, although someone 
else likely has found one...
