[Ham-Mac] Software Reviews on Mac Ham Radio web page

[Ted Bohrer]

I agree in principle with Dick, AA5VU, with his comments here.
I have submitted a review of MacLoggerDX to eHAM and other websites 
in the spirit of encouraging Mac software developers to continue in 
their efforts, and to make HAMs in general aware of a great product.
I am updating my input about MacLoggerDX now and will make it 
available to MacHamRadio.

But the real value of 'reviews' to me is the knowledge that the 
product even exists!
MacHamRadio seems a good place to present Mac-based HAM information 
and I encourage us all to support Steve's work here.
There must be many HAMs out there who have considered Macintosh only 
to be told how few programs are available to him. That used to be 
somewhat true, but certainly is an old wives tale in 2003.
