Hi All,
I've been using nGenLog for years now and really like it a bunch.
The thing I like about it the most is that I can pare down the fields to
minimal.
I just have the new QSO entry module, the map display module, and the
table displaying past QSOs
Many of the logging softwares I've seen screen-shots of really appear to
be bloatware with hundreds of fields taking up the whole screen.
nGenLog features I am stuck on are:
1) When you type in a new call, it automatically searches for similar
calls from your log.
So if you type in "VK" into the entry module callsign field, it will
instantly bring up all VK QSOs you have in your log.
As you complete entering the callsign, if you've already had QSOs with
that call, it will display those.
2) When you type in a new call, it displays the propagation path from
your station to the recipient station on the displayed world map.
This is my very favorite feature!!
To be able to see where a potential QSO would be, displayed on a map,
rather than a textual description of the country, is highly valuable to
me.
3) The map shows a flat view of the world with the grey-line, which is
constantly updated, being synchronized to the PC clock.
Ok so nGenLog is no longer supported, and as operating systems evolve,
it will soon be non-compatible.
I would be grateful if anyone knows of a logging software that has the
features I've listed above?
Sincere Thanks
N1BBR
