[South Florida DX Association] More Logging programs

[NPAlex at aol.com]

The feature set you described sounds the same as those in DXLab, the  support 
is superb by the author and the many reflector supporters.  I like  the 
automated upgrades and uploads to LOTW and eQSL.  Just a couple of key  clicks and 
it is done.  With regard to contest logging, N1MM dominates the  FCG contest 
group, and for field day and other contests the N3FJP application is  a 
favorite.  in this area.

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.
