I used Simon's version for some digital modes and liked it. I still use 
his mapping utility to generate the paper maps I use to keep track of 
VHF grids and CQ Fields. I had the same reaction you did to the paid 
version, and after a first look, never gave it a second thought.  I've 
been a happy user of DXKeeper and DXView since 2003, and have been 
happily using Spot Collector and WinWarbler for 3-4 years. They're all 
part of AA6YQ's excellent DXLab Suite, which is FREE, stable, actively 
updated (new features, new rigs, new software to control other rigs, 
etc.) and well supported.
