I tend to agree.  I use Logic for normal QSL chores and general log
management.  WL is a superb contest logger, so why add more complication?

Off topic, but I just say your name in the reply line.  Haven't talked to
you since 1993 when you were at Humphries and I was up at CRC (HL9AX)!  I
did run into Harry (HL9HH) the other day.  Drop me a note, if I do in fact
have the correct Gary!

Personally, I think this would just be another distraction. After all this
is a CONTEST logger, I use DX4Win for my QSLing. Leave this type of thing
for that type of program.
