I agree that RUMlog is by far the better program, especially for the DXer. It is well written, intuitive, and loaded with useful features. Above all, the program is actively supported by the author and in the time I've used it, have not seen any bugs. I tried MacLoggerDx and simply couldn't get the same level of usefulness from it. It's a free program, but for the quality of work and effort that has been put into it, a contribution to the author is in order, in my opinion.
