[TowerTalk] TowerTalk (Logging)

[Larry Banks]

I have to agree with Joe -- N3FJP is the easiest to learn and use logging 
software I have seen.   AND -- if you ever get into contesting, he has VERY 
compatible and easy to use loggers for most of the contests out there.  All 
are very inexpensive.

I told myself to stay out, but well I can't seem to do that.....

I have found N3FJP's ACLog to be very intuitive. Most of the others programs 
seem to require much more time to learn than I want to take away from my 
limited ham minutes. Just a couple of clicks and Logbook Of The World or 
eQSL is updated.

Our club uses his software for contests and there is no training needed, 
folks just sit down and use it.

Just My Opinion - 73,

Hi,

I am also using DXKeeper and I recommend it.
That's true it is very feature-rich and settings can be overwhelming.
However, the default settings usually works great and I really seldom have 
to dig in the online documentation which is ok (but not perfect) in my 
opinion.

For contesting logging I prefer N1MM, and then I import my logs into 
DXKeeper.

For statistics, of course I'm using QScope, and all my logs are searchable 
online :

73,
Yan.
