Outstanding Program!

This program provides exactly what I looked for in a logging program. Configuration was easy and use is a breeze. Registration, support, etc. has been fast and flawless. The $15.00 price tag is a bargin.

Outstanding software
|
Time owned: more than 12 months

I've used this program in a couple of versions now and it just keeps getting better. It's easy and fast to log contacts (never been at the bottom of a pileup yet so I don't know how it would cope - well I would imagine.)
All in all well worth my 15$

Great Software
|
Time owned: more than 12 months
|
I have been using a filemaker database on my old Macintosh "Classic" in the past. Then I bought a PC and searched for a replacement software to log my QSOs. After testing round about 15 programms, I saw VQLog and it was the fist Log Software that really fits to my needs:
- easy to use
- full compatible to Windows NT/2000
- useable for SAT/VHF
- QSO data can be used and mainpulated outside the log software, in this case MS Access, you newer know ;-)
- statistic analysis
The product is continuous updated to the userīs needs (DXCC, new Modes, enhancements) and I did not find any major bugs.
Registration can be done easily and 15$ is a fair price for all the time, Gabriel has invested.

The best logging software available
|
Time owned: more than 12 months

I used VQlog for the first time as EI4VWY when in EI-land on holiday/dx-pedition, i had been looking to update from Log-EQF but couldn't find what i wanted. After the 14 days in EI, and with over 1,000 qso's on 6m, with MS qso's on 4m and 2m, i was hooked. As soon as i got back to GD i'd spent my $15 for my own version of VQlog. Have used it ever since as nothing else is close to being as good.

Works for me!
|
Time owned: 3 to 6 months

When I decided to make the committment to first, convert to a paperless logging system, and secondly admit that I would then be staring several years worth of contacts that also should be converted, I searched this site and elsewhere, and downloaded every program that was available for testing. VQLog had the features and 'sense' of use that worked the way that I do. This was a personal choice, and 'your mileage may vary', but I would suggest a similar approach to anyone contemplating this change.
Then, I found a quirk about the software. It was something that the author, Gabriel, had not encountered in the time that he had made the package available (this turned out to be a configuration that I commonly use in my OS that no one else apparently had come across.) The support I received was of the first quality. I cannot speak highly enough for it. Needless to say the problem was resolved.
If you like the way this one works, buy it. I'm sure you'll like it.

I have been using this now for about 4 to 5 months. As others have said, for the $15 registration fee it's the best value in logging software. Great Support, Intuitive product, and easy to use.

VQLog 2.2 is wonderful, well worth $15 !
|
Time owned: 0 to 3 months
|
After using a number of logging programs, I have found VQLog the best for our school club, and perhaps will convince our ARES station to use as well. Many other logging programs distributed as shareware come with more severe constraints on function prior to registration than VQLog, so I consider the export constraint as reasonable.
Good support via e-mail and active eGroup (OK, YahooGroup), extensible base program if you are comfortable doing so. Hard to beat for stable core function and registration price. The coup de grace for me is the offer to allow club stations to register free !
Still working to get this to run under WINE on Linux, but for now Win32 version does us just fine !
We are just beginning to work on our own custom output queries, should be quite simple, will report results in egroups.com/group/VQLog

PS - I too am troubled that a disgruntled user can cause a drop in the evaluation average. Perhaps eHam.net could throw out high and low and average rest when there are 3 or more reviews ?

GREAT Logging program
|
Time owned: 6 to 12 months
|

After using other logging programs that have been nothing but problems, VQlog is a pleasure to use. Without a doubt the BEST 15 dollars I have ever spent for ham related. Am presently entering 25 years of log data (manualy). A bit tideious, but worth the effort with this program. Track all your awards, if you chase those, data can be saved and uploaded in ADIF format to eqsl.cc. I recomment this program to anyone who prefer's a easy to use logging program.

Great value and accessable data
|
Time owned: 3 to 6 months

I'm not an expert with a wide variety of logging software, but have been very satisfied with VQLog.
For normal HF or VHF logging, it's very flexible. The QSO entry screen is well laid out, and easy to understand. The labels for the variables use real English words, rather than the abbreviations you'll find on lots of other apps. It is also customizable, allowing you to enter the QSO data in the order you prefer.
The data are accesible to you, if you are slightly comfortable with a database engine like Microsoft Access, dBase, or some other application. For example, I wrote my own logbook output format. You could just as easily build queries or macros to do jobs you want done.
This is a real Windows program. You can easily Alt/Tab back and forth between your word processor, the log, and the rig control interface, your PSK31 decoder, and any other applications you have running.
It's not a multi-op contesting app. I use it for contesting, but I'm a plodding QRP op, not a speed demon. If you want to race, you'd be better off with a real race car of a program.
The fellow who complains about the Export function not working unless you register should go ahead and part with the lousy $15.00. I defy him to find another application for twice the price that can do what this one can do. His complaint reminds me of the burglar who cut his hand when he broke through the window pane and cursed the homeowner for having such brittle glass. It's a shame his vote counts the same as mine, somebody who really did pay for the developer's services and who uses the program every day.
You will find several other logging programs that have more power -- reading PSK31, interfacing with your rig and the like. If you don't need that stuff (I use Zakanaka for example) this nice application is a wonderful value.
