>>Funny you should ask this question John. Some of us have been looking

>>As a result, I have been a huge fan of the Logger series for sometime now 
>>(using it the last 5 years). It handles every chore I need to manage my 
>>info in the shack and now that you can export some of the basic award info 
>>into Excel, pretty neat. It handles all of the basic awards tracking 
>>(DXCC, WAS WAZ, IOTA, CQ Zones, Continents, Grid Squares, WPZ, and US 
>>Counties) and three new ones recently added JCC/JCG/DOK. It handles all my 
>>QSL chores and award tracking. Plus I have radio control, sat track, 
>>propagation, DX cluster--log book integration, digital modes, rotor 
>>control and more. The program is very customizable for presentation and 
>>has a good windows feel. I have even used it for some basic contesting as 
>>well (when I am not running for points). Overall I have been very happy 
>>using this program and would highly recommend it if you want a quality 
>>product at a great price (FREE)! Oh yes they also have an online support 
>>group and have been good about bug fixes and evolving the product.
>>
>>My favorite contest program N1MM. I don't need all sorts of reminders how 
>>slow I am or my qso rate, give me the basics and a program I that is easy 
>>to use, shows me what I have worked and what I have left. Simplicity, my 
>>shack is busy enough during contest.
>>
>>Finally for general SWL/Ute/MW/FM/TV Dxing I use the SWL Log. While I 
>>could use N1MM, It does not have really the type of database that is very 
>>useful for this portion of the hobby. SWL Log is a bit clunky and is not 
>>easily updateable in certain aspects, but it is the best in this category 
>>I have seen.
>>
>>Have fun, as there is a lot out there to play with. Drop by and visit my 
>>old friend AC6V's website. You will find links to most all the software 
>>out there. Bottom line the opinions above are mine and do not reflect my 
>>employer, but it should! ;-)
