[UK-CONTEST] Contest logger comparisons

[Jonathan G0DVJ]

Hi all,

One thing leads to another ... 

I have been Mac OSX only in the shack for a few years now.  It's seems to be a growing trend on the back of the so-called halo effect from iPhones and iPads etc.  

I now use SkookumLogger by Bill K1GQ ... I have been working with him on this for more than a year now.  Specifically we have added lots of RSGB contest support.   Its a shared personal project (free) rather than a product sold to make money, but also worth a look if you use the OSX platform.   It also crosses the divide between HF and VHF/UHF contest logging in one application, and is perhaps unique in supporting the Club Calls contest with full length names.  

I will be demo-ing SL as a part of my lecture at the Contest University at the RSGB Convention this year.
It can be found at http://web.me.com/wlmyers/K1GQ/SkookumLogger.html 
If you have any queries first up from the UK then please contact me rather than Bill.
