[CQ-Contest] General Purpose logging program

[Jeffrey Embry]

Jim,

I agree....have been using ACLog for almost 10 years.  Every now and
then I get the urge to try something else, but after trying it I keep
coming back to ACLog.  The simplicity is awesome...and it has all the
info I need...Packet spots, beam headings and distance (although I am
only using a longwire and have no use for that...yet), award traking
and the LOTW interface is so easy that a caveman could do it.

And it imports ADIF from N1MM...very nice.  I think I will stick with it.

73es,

Jeff
