My current general purpose logging software (HyperLog) is no longer supported,
so I am looking for a replacement.

Following are my requirements.

MUST HAVE
--Intel/MS platform (Win, DOS, whatever)
--Radio aware
--Keyboard-centric (no mouse for routine logging)
--Callbook CD aware
--Import/Export ADIF
--LoTW integration
--Award tracking (DXCC, WAZ, etc)
--Print QSL report labels
--Impecable track record of author support

Nominations please. (Price not important)


As you've seen, people seem to be quite partisan about their favorite
loggers!

I've tried a bunch. Didn't really like *any* of them. Gave up & wrote
my own. Linux platform though all the components are also available for
Windows & the underlying Perl code should run on Windows with little or
no modification. It doesn't have rig control, CD support, or LotW
integration though they could all be added.

Neat thing is that all QSOs are logged into a standard database engine.
Any query I can think up, I can run. Got a QSL card from AP2IA?

mysql mylog -e "update log set name='Ijaz', city='Lahore', grid='MM62'
where call='AP2IA'"

and the data is updated for all QSOs. Can't do that with most other
programs.

In a couple of directories on my hard drivegrin...I have it packaged
for posting somewhere, took it off when I ran low on webspace a year or
so ago. Guess I should put it back.

Please do so.

What you have described is exactly what I have been looking for. tlf is cool
for contesting, but I failed to find an everyday logging programs with those
features described before.

Since I don't boot into Windows anymore (or very rarely), I'd certainly want
to give it a try.
