[TVARC] DX Logging Software

[Tom Menas]

TVARCers:

The attached PDF table contains comments by TVARCers who reviewed their DX
logging software for me.  I supplemented it with those DX logging programs
reviewed in E-Ham that had over 60+ reviews with positive ratings of at
least 4 out of 5 points.

So, what’s the consensus?  Well, there was no overwhelming “winner”.  I
think that many of the TVARCers have had their logging programs for a
number of years and the barrier to change was high enough that they just
continued using it.  I know that’s the way I am with my WriteLog contesting
program.  I know that N1MM may be better in some ways but W-L’s like a pair
of comfortable shoes to me - it works for me.

Here's what I plan to do:  I’ll go with DXLabs since it appears to have a
high level of support, is full-featured and is free (not the most important
factor).  My one concern is that all who commented on it talk about the
steep learning curve.  However, it comes with a number of stand-alone
modules so I intend to become proficient with one before proceeding with
the next.  Eat the elephant a spoonful at a time.

If you can't read the attached PDF, let me know and I'll send you the PDF
attachment directly to your email address.

Thanks for those that responded.  It’s appreciated.

73,
