Very useful, free! I use it for eveyrthing but contests. Time Owned: 6 to 12 months.
This is the first computer-based general logging software I've used, and I'm quite pleased with it. I like the companion product, DXView, and that both programs interoperate with the excellent Ham Radio Deluxe suite ( radio control and PSK31).

How could be be improved? A bit better import routine that gets states and provinces from a contest log, a bit more versatility with generating QSL's, a bit faster logging, and more powerful editing.

Strong Program Time Owned: 6 to 12 months.
If you are looking for an all purpose logging program to track your award progress, participate in contests, and ragchewing QSOs, then you have found it in DXKeeper. Dave Bernstein has a good suite of programs in DXLab that meet just about all your needs. I have used them for over 6 months, now, and find no requirement for any other set of programs.

Great fun and Powerfull ! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
As a new ham, I wanted to start with a logging program that did it all. Also, bitten by the DX bug, I find this is the best option. Ive dowloaded all the demos and sorted through them...but DX Keeper is just that...a keeper. It integrates with the DX lab suite of software. It inserts cllbook info automatically and if you want to see something really amazing, check out its add-on called 'Pathfinder".

Pathfinder will look up a call using many internet websites, from QRZ to dx cluster sites and insert the info into the log in most cases.

An integrating map with locations shown is also a part of the add-on suite.

Best of all, the support is amazing. Dave,AA6YQ the creater of this FREE software must sleep next to his computer because his response to any of your questions is almost instant! Join the Group as noted on the website and see for yourself.

I havent even begun to use all the features of this logging software, but do recommend it, especially after having fished through all the others out there. Is fun and neat to use. Try it. Or just try one of the add-on features on their own. Look at the DX Lab website an you'll see the different programs that can be used for: dx spotting, cluster watching, PK31/ rtty trasnsmitting logging and my favorite..callsign info lookups of the web.

Nice work Dave.

Great free logger Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
This program does a great job of DX logging. It has limited awards tracking but that will change.
Currently DXCC is supported along with a few others.
It uses access for the data base so the data base is available directly if you have access although I would not change it that way unless you are very familar with access.
It integrates with other programs in a group call the DXLAB suite.
