[NLRS] Contest Logging software

Sun, 12 Jan 2003 20:01:34 -0600

Eric, I use NA for all HF & VHF contesting.   The up side is that once you
learn the program's layout & format it is the same for almost all contests,
plus NA is highly reliable.    NA will support SO2R mode.  The down side is
that it runs in DOS, not Windows.   For me, this is not a big deal as I have
a low end older laptop that is loaded with just DOS.    NA doesn't handle
rovers as eloquently as other contest logging programs, so what you do is
enter the rovers grid square in their call, for example N0DQS/EN33 when Gene
is in EN33, etc.   My band switching for logging is fully manual as I five
"rigs" for seven bands.

There are a lot of people who run Writelog with good success too.  Outside
of the SO2R capability of most of the contesting software I am not aware of
any program that will work with multiple transverters that are driven by a
single IF rig.
