I have tried many logging programs but this is the one that I've found to be the best. (For me) Well worth a look if you do need help I'll try as much as I can. The HELP file will get you through 99.9% of any problems you do have. I have been using this Program since it first started and before that Super Winlog V2 which is no longer in use.I was then G7UYM and then M0CJL ( and I'm not a POM ) Good luck and enjoy Les
