[NLRS] Crying out loud

I took a look at the ARRLs log sheet, then at the rules regarding what had  
to be logged, then created my own log sheet using Excel.   Even a  simple 
spread sheet software program like Microsoft Works should be an adequate  tool.   
If anyone wants to see mine for an example, drop me a note  (again, its Excel). 
  

Does anyone know of anyone who has  created a custom 10gigs logging software 
program .... something like RoverLog  for 10gigers ?

Regarding the League and their response, I think Dan  is a busy boy and we do 
not have an appreciation for all that he does .... at  the same time I too 
have experienced their lack of a bedside manner and have  come away with a bad 
taste.    In MY opinion, support for all  types of contesting has dropped some, 
most likely a sign of the  times.   In addition, its MY opinion that within 
the ranking of  contesting that VHF/UHF/microwave contesting is a second class 
citizen to HF  contesting ... perhaps the numbers justify it.   In addition, I 
don't  think Dan is a VHFer and I suspect that he defers VHF contesting 
"stuff" to  others.    

But, the bigger question is, will  hurricane Frances give us any tropo ?   
The tropo map for Thursday,  Sept 9, is looking good
