Thanks for the lead. I've installed GOLog, and I think it is going to be a real
winner. Since it is free, I can't complain much about it not keeping track of
sections or score, but it seems flexible enough for my QRP contesting needs.
I'm going to give it a spin this weekend on WPX and maybe ARCI Hoot Owl (which
runs during the ECN2 net).

This weekend's solar/geomagnetic conditions should be pretty indicative of
Field Day in four weeks. Let's hope for a nice low K- and A-index.
