Aether is a ham radio logging application for Mac OS X. Aether includes tools to quickly and easily log QSOs while on the air, as well as organize, search and track your QSOs later. Aether was designed for Mac OS X, and has the same kind of clean, intuitive, friendly interface you've come to expect on the Mac. Some of the useful features that Aether provides include:

* LoTW and eQSL.cc integration
* Awards tracking
* ADIF, Cabrillo export/import
* Serial Rig Control
* Automatic callbook lookup including optional support for QRZ.com subscriptions
* Automatic dupe checking
* Powerful address and QSL info label printing
* Google Maps integration
* Automatic distance and beam heading calculation
* cocoaModem 2.0 integration
* Instant Search
* Spotlight, Mail, Address Book and AppleScript support
* Much more

The free version of Aether is fully featured except for a 30 QSO limit for logs.  The full version of Aether, priced at $39, removes this limit.

Thanks and 73,
