[Dxbase] Wishlist for DXBase 2007

[Paul Cassel]

Serious contesters need something lean and mean that can be operated with
minimal keystrokes.  While DxBase does have a basic contest mode that does
track dupes and serial nbrs etc contesters always prefer a separate
dedicated program.

As for the log conversion - piece of cake taking less than 5 minutes to
compile the CABRILO format for the contest, ADIF for both your eQSL upload
and to import into Dxbase.

I use Writelog for my contesting software but many still use CT which is now
Freeware.
