[WriteLog] Daily Logging

Add MMSSTV to the list and you are complete.  I also use a two radio Icom
setup with this software.  I used to use logic but software support was so
poor for NT implementation, I stopped using it.  Now I use it only for one
thing which DX4WIN doesn't have:  That is mass address, county and grid
square update after a contest.  I export the contest adif file into logic,
but in the Flying Horse Callbook CD, and mass update all the qso for county
(I am a county hunter), address, and grid square.  I can also print out
address labels for US contacts easily.  Then I export in ADIF and import
back into DX4WIN and I have all the address and counties.  BTW I also use
Logic for the award reports and required countries, states, counties, etc -
much better than DX4WIN.

Bob, AK6R
