[Logic] LOGic7

[Carl Smidt]

Hi LOGic users,

I agree with Art, we may have to jump through a few hoops in order to get
everything set up the way we like it, but this new version is, as Art says,
AWESOME, and we do mean AWESOME.

There are so many new features, innovations and changes as to be almost mind
boggling, it opens up a whole new world in computer assisted Ham Radio.

Dennis has left no stone unturned in coming up with this new one, he has
thought of literally everything, whether it is LoTW automatic uploads and
downloads, station specific weather information, callbook lookups, CIA
international, country specific, information, downloadable membership lists
from most Ham oriented organizations, Spot Log alerting feature and 'Set
Rig' undo and redo features. It goes on and on.

LOGic 7 is a cornucopia of mouth watering morsels of Ham Radio
paraphernalia, which will make Hamming so much more interesting and
exciting, while, at the same time, teaching us in detail about other
countries and cultures.

It is the best that I have yet to see in Ham Radio logging software.

Now, go and experience it for yourselves!

73,   Carl  VE9OV
