Hi All,

What’s your favourite contest logging software? Personally i use Win-Test its very stable supports ssb, cw, rtty contests, supports provided is excellent! Not only do I use it at home but we also use it at the CVRS for Multi-Multi events!

What you use and why?

Note: this isn’t a my logging program is better than yours.

Since 1991 I have used several contest logs, but have landed on the logs created by N3FJP for contesting, and the everyday contact log ACLog for non-contesting.
I use them because they are complete and easy. Easy is what I want in the heat of a contest.
To see what they are all about, http://www.n3fjp.com
Oh, the disclaimer: I just use them, and have no financial interest in this software.

I also like Win-Test, but did not work for RSGB Xmas contest. So this year will be back to SD (http://www.ei5di.com), OK it's basic, but I know will work in that contest.

Need to remember RSGB XMas contest is very small though... We cant expect the authors to implement everything..

I have many from the N3FJP software line...very hard to beat, and I can guarantee that anyone who has them will tell you that it is the most underpriced software available...
And I only use the software, no financial interest.

I am also using the N3FJP suite of software. For contests not available with the suite (mostly VK contests) I use N1MM.

Cheers

Well, since it's written by a member of the local club, I kind of felt obliged to give it a try. I'm about to go and write a "my first contest" post - more on Minos there.
