[DX] Re: Writelog contesting software

Hi Jim:

Writelog has a general logger to keep track of things.  I've never used it
so I don't know how well it does at tracking dxcc.  I do know you can
export/import files in many different formats.

I use two programs, Writelog for contesting, and Logic5 for keeping my
general logs which does a great job of tracking my awards etc.  There are
many fine general logging programs out there, I just happen to use Logic5.

After a contest I'll simply export the contest file from Writelog in the
ADIF format and import it into Logic5.  It works very well that way.

Hope that helps.
