Best logger! But Prolog business is now permanently closed Time Owned: more than 12 months.
Prolog shut down end of March, 2021. The website is gone! I still love (and use) this logger, no more updates though.

Great program, great customer support!! Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I have used this logging program for years, and I have been super happy with it. Several times I have contacted Ed W5VP and asked for help with a problem or question, and always been satisfied with the answer or instructions.
However, today Ed went far beyond typical customer service. I had a major burp in my computer which seems to have been caused by my upgrading my existing malware program. I was on the phone with Ed for over 90 minutes while he worked his way through the logging program and finally found the answer. I sure appreciate his dogged attitude in hanging in there with me till he figured it out. Again, I will say that Ed went far beyond the usual "customer service" and that is just another reason that I am using this great software.

Wonderful Program! Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I've used ProLog for many many years and find it very easy to use. Very powerful program and does a great job and keeping track of my DXCC entities and all awards.

Super Program Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I've been a prolog user since 2001. It hasn't missed a beat especially due to upgrades. Technical support is outstanding if you're not a computer whiz like myself. This system provides a multitude of ways in which to track your QSOs. This is a super program!!

I posted a review of Prolog quite awhile back and really could not say enough about it. However, the product keeps getting better and I thought I would update my review. I recently downloaded the latest version - something that's easy to forget because it already has so many features. The ability to tie the program directly to internet points of interest and databases has really been inhanced - I'm still learning all of the possibilities. Award tracking gets better and better as well. I think Prolog's most outstanding feature is the ability to tailor it to your own operating and award chasing style. I have not yet run into something I wanted to track that I could not create tracking for. And don't ever worry about lack of support - support is 100% timely and on the money. To me Prolog is sort of the "Elecraft" or "Ten Tec" of the logging software world: both the product and support are absolutely superb!

I have reviewed Prolog before (might be under my old call of KB7OEX), but wanted to throw in a comment after reading the last review. The reviewer is certainly entitled to his views, but I would suggest if you have questions on any issues he raised to email or call Ed at Prolog for clarification - you want to make sure you have the correct understanding. I have to reiterate that this is an incredibly well done product and worth every dime and more. I have used it for about three years and it just keeps getting better. One of it's neat features is that you can create your own awards and track them. That's ideal for club award tracking such as in the FISTS Club. Ed is a responsive and very fair gentleman - his customer service is equal to or better than such companies as Elecraft or Ten Tec. I do not believe I have every had to wait more than 24 hours (at the MOST)to have any question responded to - including weekends!!!! If your wavering on a program such as this - call or email Ed and take a look - I'm betting you will be thrilled!

I've reviewed Ed's software quite awhile back, but just recently updated to a more recent version. The latest addition is truly incredible. In addition I continue to have top notch response and service from Ed - for the few times I might bother him with a question heh heh. The product and the man behind it are top notch.

Used it for two years....Ed is a gentlemen and very patient and service oriented. Program interfaces very well with a K2 and is great for setting up special award trackking - like the FISTS cw club awards. This company is on par with Elecraft and Idiom Press in my book. You won't be disappointed. 73/Tim Logan NZ&C

Fabulous Product Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I have been using ProLog since version 1. I have never regretted paying for it or the upgrades. ProLog does exactly what you need it to do. Has all of the pertinent info close at hand and easily viewed from the main screen. Track your award status--visible from the main screen. Has a superb log-listing function for printing out your log in a number of ways. Most importantly, the customer service is second to none. Ed and crew are very quick to respond, answer their phones most of the time (they are on helping knuckleheads like me sometimes, you know), and will call back in a timely manner when you leave a message. GREAT product and GREAT people!

I have been using Prolog2K for many years now, and I have found it to be incredible. It is a very powerful program; therefore, it is also a bit complex (which is the reason it is so powerful) and thus requires a bit of study and practice before you get on the air (read the manual!!!). Once on the air, you will be very pleased with the ease of performance achieved by practice off the air. Truly a spectacular piece of programming. Ed, author, salesman, tech. support, cust. support, and chief cook & bottle washer is very helpful with ANY problem (even the stupid ones, eh, Ed!?) you may have with this product. A must for every shack and well worth the price. Good luck.

Excellent Program - UPDATE Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I'm approaching 10 years of using the ProLog application ... now V8 and it continues to be a wonderful program.

It has some basic rig, rotor controls and more in the digital realm, but I've only utilized the rig controls along with it's excellent logging capabilities.

I've had some hiccups now and then, but the documentation is well written and very extensive. Also, reaching out to Ed & Jack for e-mail support is always well received and they are always very supportive at helping me open my eyes to some button I may have clicked for one reason or another.

I've considered other programs, but their extensive learning curve is more than I want to tackle. Also, I just don't have a need for many of the features offered in such applications.

The monthly updates with the Prolog Callmaster database is excellent and with that I come across very few "unknown" contacts.

I have yet to use all the features of Prolog, but I keep chipping away at adding more to my experience.

Very easy method to create the necessary files for uploading to LOTW and eQSL.cc as well.

Updating your callbook data file with the LOTW contacts is just as straight-forward as well.

A GREAT program.

I started using Prolog back in 1990 for many years. I took a couple of years off from active on-air work and have been active again now for several years. I upgraded my version to the lastest v7 and have had simply excellent support from Ed.

Prolog2K is a fantastic program and can do far more than what I'm currently using. I keep opening nuggets of items that just blow me away from time to time.

Ed ... one heckuva program and I love your customer service.


Cheers,

great tech support Time Owned: more than 12 months.
The support with these people are fantastic. I was on the phone with Ed for biggest part of an hour getting my V8 updated. I am not a computer person but he talked me through all the steps. UI have used this program for 5 yrs and it is the best I have ever had. Thanks to Ed my program is running the way it should. The Prolog V8 does all that I need in a logging program.

I would never be without this logging program! Time Owned: more than 12 months.
Let me start out by saying that everything positive the other reviews mentioned is 100% true. I have been using ProLOG for the past nine (9) years. My computer experience back then was very basic but from day one ProLOG was easy to use. Today, V8.00.0 interfaces seamlessly with Digipen and MixW, interfaces with LOTW, logs all required activity, and tracks ARRL awards. When something is not clear, simply clicking on the help question mark normally fixes the problem. However, on the rare occasion that I am still unable to figure it out, a quick call to Ed and the explanation is crystal clear. Finally, let me add that Ed is always pleasant and never makes the call feel like an imposition.

Today, V8.00.0 interfaces seamlessly with Digipen and MixW, interfaces with LOTW, monitors QRZ DX and DX Summit, logs all required activity, on the main logging form you can see your last eight (8) logged contacts and your last eight (8) spots from DX Summit, and tracks ARRL awards. When something is not clear, simply clicking on the help question mark normally explains the problem. However, on the rare occasion that I am still unable to figure it out, a quick call to Ed and the explanation is crystal clear.
