[OKDXA] Logging Software?

[Kim Elmore]

I like the award tracking and alerts available in DXBase and that it’s not very difficult to set them up. I know that DXLab Suite will do all that and more, it’s a primarily a matter of learning the proper incantations, the DXLab programming language, and getting all the parts to play nice with each other the way I want. I know N1MM+ already, so that part isn’t an issue. For me it’s a matter of bracing myself for all the necessary hours of frustration learning a new system.
