The reply from Dr Jerry was interesting and I enjoyed looking at
his links.

The other replies I received directly either recommended a logging
program from Europe called VQLog. It costs about $30 which is not
too bad. You can see some examples of the maps it prepares at:
http://www.vhfdx.info/statisti.html  Just click on some of the
maps of locators.

The other answer that was helpful was that Mike KM0T offers a
basemap at:
http://www.km0t.com/pages/grids/USAGRID-BASE.gif

You can see some examples of how he colors them in (and crops them
down where appropriate) at:
http://www.km0t.com/pages/grids.htm

Mike explains that he "... takes just seconds to fill a grid
in with the "paintbrush" tool in the basic windows jpg editor.  I
have a
blank gif on my website for the taking if you need it. Save it as
a gif or jpg."

So pending any other replies (that I'll be glad to summarize) I
will probably use Mike's basemap and still use GIMP (to use it not
lose it).
