Why? Because it does all the things that everybody says their favourite software does, but better.

Networking is the easiest ever to set up and is solid.

Cluster is the easiest ever to set up and is solid, and doesn't require a second program.

It is not a CT lookalike.

The Entry window is separate to the log so the 2nd rx/radio window is a mirror image rather than an add-on. That is really good for SO2V and SO2R

All Windows are re-sizeable and can be moved anywhere on the screen.

It doesn't promote poor operating standards.

It works well with WinKey.

I quite like the idea of seeing your 2nd radio CW message displayed when running SO2R alternate CQs

John LZQ mentioned bonuses but since Cabrillo there is no need for claimed score which can normally be worked out in Excel anyway, if you want. I did that for 10 years are so using K8CC's NA. I don't need to know the bonuses in an RSGB Contest since I wouldn't refuse a QSO if I hadn't worked the station before.

I also use Logger 32 since general logging and contesting logging have different requirements, but two loggers are sufficient.
