Regarding a suggestion to use MacLoggerDX, it might be a great LOGGING 
application but it is NOT a CONTEST application.  I have looked at it 
before but find that it does not have the required components such as 
multimode communication with the rig, logging/scoring/duping/sorting 
designed for individual major contests, etc.  I think it has the basics 
around which a true contesting application could be built, but as it is 
it would not allow for true contesting work.  I would hope the 
developers would take it to the next level as I am sure they would have 
a winner.
