Computer control of your receiver using databases like ILG adds a new
dimension to Dxing. I like using SWLog. SWLog, a radio control, logging and database program has recently been updated and now includes support for more receivers. This program is the most extensive SWL multi-function program available. Features include local and remote receiver control; integrated database support for HFCC,ILGRadio, EiBi, PTSW and seven other database formats; propagation prediction; audio capture; chat; extensive logging capability; report generation and QSL generation in ten languages. The program now interfaces to Ham Radio Deluxe and permits both programs to work together with one or more receivers. Bob Sillett, the developer of SWLog, has been working on this program for years and keeps adding new features. The best part is the price: FREE.

I see! I print out my custom schedules on an as needed basis.
Besides, I don't allow any digital hash anywhere near the SW radios/antennas. Computers, no matter what kind, simply raise the noise floor which is where the DX begins, as one infamous poster said. My finger does the tuning anywhere my radio happens to be. What can be more simpler than that? I'm not tied to the internet or the laptop or... To each his own, carry-on. wrote in message ups.com...

I agree, SED. The radio + computer thing doesn't work for me. I've
tried it a few times. Just not my cup of tea. I, too, simply print out scheds. Just printed up a revised ILG A06 sched last night in an Excel file: 133 pages. Drawback: if/when ILG comes out with an updated A06 file, I'm unlikely to go through the hassle of revising/formatting and then printing up the later file. Junius SeeingEyeDogg wrote: I see!

Printing out scheds is a good idea for lots of folks. However, I would
rather print out a schedule that was not just based on ILG. The merged database in SWLog is far superior and has a lot of frequencies/broadcasts that are not in ILG. I suppose one can always buy WRTH, Passport to World Band Radio and Monitoring Times if you want to be "computer free". I would rather pay nothing and have comprehensive up-to-date schedules printed on paper or on the computer screen. Each to his own - Roger |
