[ILQSO] Anyone else using N3FJP logging program?

THanks to all four of you guys who just answered my query.    
It appears I picked a loser when I picked up the n3fjp ilqp logger.  I guess he has done a good job over the years but maybe our rule changes have been too much of a job to keep up.   I  have only invested $6 and will write that off to experience.   
 
NOW--  Are there any favorites that you could recommend for me.  I will only be logging from my mobile paper log to whatever program I use.  It's mainly to make it easy for the club to analyze and process my entry data instead of them having to re-type it from my copy.   I will not need spotting input,  transmit functions,  etc.  Just a barebones program that would take my typed-in data from my paper log and put it into form that can be sent by e-mail to WIARC.     Whatsa?   
 
Thanks for your attention and offers of assistance.

>From the standpoint of one of the log scorers, it really makes little difference to me if the program does that part correctly as long as the logged information is correct and the log can be parsed into Excel.

Others' opinions may differ.

The other issue is that with the change in classes, the software is not updated for them...and won't be. Scott has essentially said that versions for new states will not be added...and as rules change, if it is major enough, that version will be dropped.

I know why he has said this is from the website, but I am still a little dismayed. It appears that a lot of his energy is going towards his WXWarn program these days. He is not developing for his original suite of programs anymore.

Hi Bud, I use their various logging programs including the one for ILQP. 
This contest is NOT where their software shines. It does not 
automatically calculate the scores correctly if either you or any of the 
stations you contact operated county line portable.

As far as questions go... fire away!
