[South Florida DX Association] More Logging programs

[Bill Dzurilla]

All of the major programs have pretty much the same features and capabilities, just a matter of personal choice as to which one has the best look and feel.  I have not seen a "pay for it" program that has more or better features than the free ones.  

Support is important, a friendly forum where you can ask questions and get any problems solved quickly.  A few people at the HRD forum said that they switched to HRD from Logger 32 because they received unhelpful answers from the Logger 32 owner, although I have no personal experience to confirm or refute.

Although there's a lot of debate about the best program for general logging, the N1MM logger seems to be the favorite for contesting.

Other HRD features: award analysis (tracks your progress towards various awards), mapper (displays maps with a plot of all stations you have worked), satellite tracker, automatic upload of each logged qso to eQSL (but not to LOTW), bandscope, audio notification when new DX spotted, audio grabber (records the output of your receiver), Google Earth map of stations you work.
