Hi Dave,
I let everyone see everything, but a password is required to make changes. I hear what you say, and might consider adjusting things if asked, but it would be under duress. I never realised folk were so devious - and all for the sake of something worthless!

One program which rarely gets a mention when comparing logging
software is XMLog (http://www.xmlog.com). Free and it does everything
I want in a general logging program. Excellent ADIF import/export for
inputting contest logs (in my case SD) and uploading to LOTW and
eQSL. Packet interface and QRZ.com lookup. CW keyer interface, though
not used here. Excellent support via a Yahoo group from the author.

But it is a matter of taste what you use. Having used XMLog for some
time I would not contemplate changing.

What is the form of your on-log? There have been cases where a full
log is on public view of listeners fraudently using the information
to generate ficticious listener reports on eQSL. Most dx-peditions of
course use a look up database which only tells you what bands you
have had QSOs, not the dates and times. (another possible hot
