[UK-CONTEST] INFO on logging software needed

[Alan Hydes]

Dave,

I would agree with Bob on this one.  I've also used DX4WIN for years, have
my complete log from 1968 stored on it, and find it excellent.

It's very fast...  imports from just about anything, incluing LogPlus and
LogPlus4... and does everything on your list including rig support, Packet,
CW, RTTY, plus PSK31.  It has good awards and QSLing features and label
printing.

I run it on Win98, so I don't know about rig and CW support under WinXP.
see http://www.dx4win.com/
