I just purchased my first SW receiver, a Drake SW8. I would like to start
recording data about the stations I receive. I would prefer a computer
based log since my computer is next to the radio. Did a Google search and
was overwhelmed with the numerous offerings. Anyway am seeking advice on
a
program that is straightforward for a beginner (at least to the SW world)
and offers some potential for future growth. I don't foresee adding a
transmit capability to by set up in the near future.

Thanks in advance
