I totally agree Ernie. I use Kwiklog for my County Hunting but am not in any way affiliated with them so this in not to be constituted as a ad.
I don't use DXBase for contesting either. For that I use Writelog and once again this is not a ad. Each program has it's own pro's and con's but DXBase is by far the best I have seen for DXing. Would you ride a Clydesdale at the Kentucky Derby ? Nope, you would ride a horse more suited toward the work it needs to do.
