Can anyone recomend a good log-book program for the PC?


Re posted.

I have used DXBase from Scientific Solutions for almost 8 years. Logs, does
DXCC, WAS, 10-10, etc automatically. It has the ability to look up QSL
addresses from a CD. You can track WPX, DXCC, QSL managers, etc. You can
add/delete QSL managers to the data base. It calculates range and bearing to a
DX station. It will tell you the QTH of a DX station based on the DX callsign.
You can post from DXBase to the internet. And much more ...

It has a QSL design file, I have 6 self designed photo QSL s in that file.

It has the ability to maintain numerous logs. I have my basic log - W1MCE.mdb,
my mobile log W1MCE_m.mdb, my 60 meter log, and my special callsign QSL
[W1L.mdb], all available at the touch of a key. If you notice the file tag,
*.mdb, it is a Microsoft Access Data Base core program.

It is NOT freeware. If I recall correctly I paid $50 for the CY2000 upgrade and
have not had any reason for further upgrades, although they are available.

I cannot comment on it's usefulness in the contest mode. I don't contest! I'm a
Minister and my weekends have other priorities

I hope you get other responses that present more options.
