[ADXA] Logging Program Recommendations

[Trent Fleming]

Well, I wanted to weigh in.  Early on in my automated logging, I used VQlog
out of loyalty to Gabriel, who produces the great VHF and above openings
maps.  It was great for basic logging and tracking, but he struggled with
connectivity to LOTW and etc.  So I started looking around.  I tried HRD,
but because I don't have a ton of time for radio, I felt the learning curve
was too steep.  So I've settled on DXlabs, and have decided that - for the
price - it may be the best thing out there.  However, I keep going back to
N1MM for contests, unless its one of the state or other contest that NF3JP
supports - his software is nice also but the general log program wasn't
robust enough.

Finally, I wanted to say - as opposed to many of the ham message boards I
read - how refreshing it is that everyone has shared opinions in such an
open, positive way without trashing someone else's experience or opinion.

Appreciate ya'll!

73,
Trent
