[Elecraft] Another ACLog fan...

Hi All-

I noticed a few comments on the reflector this morning about N3FJP's ACLog
program, and I wish to add my name to the list of fans.

Recently I decided to consolidate several different logging programs, which
I'd been using for some time, all into ACLog 2.3.  One of them (DXBase) had
no simple ADIF-exporting capability; however, I eventually found a way to
extract most of what I wanted from it, along with the contents of a second
program's log (MixW).  Added to those two "stacks" of QSOs (including some
duplicates) were several hundred QSOs logged into an earlier version of
ACLog.   The entire integration effort took quite awhile to finish, but it
all turned very well.

Bottom line:  N3FJP, Scott Davis, was EXTRAORDINARILY helpful (and very
prompt) in responding to my endless email questions.  He also provides an
Excel spreadsheet containing the necessary comma-delimiting function to
generate and paste all of the "final" QSO data when it's all edited and
rearranged (not simple in my case) into ACLog 2.3.

I heartily recommend AC Log; you may find other programs equally good, but
if you believe in the Keep-It-Simple-Stupid principle as I do, I think you'd
be happy with AC Log and its author.

I have no interest in Scott's log other than my personal satisfaction with
it.  It's a keeper IMHO.
