I've used DXKeeper, which is free, bug-free, and well supported.
It's for the Windoze platform. If you live in the Mac world, I'm

In nineteen seventy something, I passed a ham radio exam for the first
time. I never got a station put together, and so never got on the air.
In nineteen eighty something, I passed the test again. But once again I

This time, I built the station

Congratulations Wayne!
I still keep a log - a paper log that includes all contacts, band cdx notes,
station setup, etc. It's as much of a journal as anything. I always filled

Hello George,
Congratulation to your ham family. I managed to get my son to obtain his
licence at the age of 16. After he got his licence, he seldom touched on the

It is now really difficult to get new blood
Excellent short story! Thanks for sharing. And congrats on your K2.
I have an Optivisor here, and now how much it helps.
Now - if I could get my 80-y/o dad to try something new
