[Logic] Your favorite VHF contest logging software?

Fri, 2 Apr 2004 20:34:58 -0500

Hi Bill,

I have been operating the VHF contests (2M, Single Op, High and Low Power)
for years using LOGic as the contest logger.  I have no problems and it
works just fine.  While I have never used a "dedicated" contest logger,
LOGic has always worked for me and has never hampered my operating style or
caused me to have any less of a score, i.e., it is more than capable of
keeping up.

While the VHF/UHF contests seldom generate head pounding "pile-ups", I have
used LOGic in several HF contests and it still is quite capable.  Are other
dedicated contest loggers better at the task ?  Maybe, but I'll leave it to
those on the reflector that use them to share their experiences.

Good Luck in the June VHF contest !!  I should have a 6m beam up on the
tower by then and will be "running" when on that band.

I'm looking forward to operating the June VHF QSO Party this year as a
single-op fixed station, 6M only. I'm currently running LOGic 6 as my
general logging program, but many have voiced the opinion in the past that a
lighter-weight, more nimble contest logger is the way to go for contests.
Since I'm far from being a "big gun" (100W, 5 el @ 35') and don't live in a
particularly rare grid square (Albuquerque, DM65), my strategy will probably
be more "hunt and pounce" than running pile-ups -- though that will probably
happen, too, if the band opens up strongly to 6-land as it did during the
2003 contest.

I'd like some opinions!
