[TenTec] OT: logging programs

[banda5 at comcast.net]

Hi Ken,

I have tried alot of the free programs. Including DXkeeper.

If you get to the stage when you want to try some more as you said, I recommend Winlog32 from a screen layout, simplicity, and free cost standpoint. It also instantly displays previous QSOS once the current QSO is entered as you preferred.

It is not a DOS program, but I can run fine on it on my very old PC so its good with resouces too.

I think it does everything you mentioned in your original post - I am not a contester either, though it does have speed modes award traking, rig control, etc.

I know there is a lot of programs with one for every Op's preference, just put Winlog in your pocket to try for later.

Good Luck / 73's
