[CW] Hard to Find Morse Products

[Danny Douglas]

Have you looked at the DXLabs suite of programs?  The logbook in that is 
DXKeeper, and is what hundreds of people have switched to in the last 
couple of years.  It has absolutely the best group of yahoo followers, 
as well as Dave, the author of the program.  There has never been a 
problem unsolved, as far as I know.  Dave is on it instantly, and I 
don't think there is a rig (with computer connectivity) that he has not 
covered.  Its free as well.  There appear to be several thousand users, 
including me and Ive been with it for around 10 years now.    I had 
about 18,000 contacts on paper, when I converted over, and have never 
looked back.  It does have a space for comments, and I have a lot of 
them in there..
