[CQ-Contest] [FTDX101D] N1MM

Joseph,

If you are implying that DXlab suite is somehow less specifically 
because of it's "free" price, that is a mistake.  Some things are free 
because they cannot stand competition in the market place sufficient to 
command payment.  And at other (admittedly rare) times, a dedicated 
developer may happen to also not need the money, or the headaches that 
go with a business, and may choose to provide a "free" solution.

In that context, I think you are saying "I don't use DXlab or other free 
options, but I do use HRD and have found it to be absolutely worth the 
minimal cost.  And definitely would suggest it for you as well based on 
my personal satisfaction experience with HRD."

In this way you are being more precise in your claim, and don't 
inadvertently slight guys who had made a different (educated or not) 
decision specifically not to use HRD, nor (importantly) do you insult 
the developer who has spent literally years supporting the ham community 
on a daily basis, without once asking a user for $100 to get started, 
and $50 per year after, for support.

Then again, maybe I have it all wrong.  Would not be the first time and 
I'm sure it won't be the last.
