Gary,

I'm sure some people from this list have used different loggers at 
different places, such as home, field day, and club station.  I haven't, 
so I really can't give a valid comparison.  I have used Writelog for 
about 11 years and it suits my needs very well.

I just put 830 QSO's in the log this weekend and all aspects of the 
software worked fine: logging and dupe checking, scoring,rig control, cw 
keying, and DVK.

The ability to have wav files speak as you move through the fields and 
to give feedback as to dupes, mults, and errors, is built into the 
program, but  needs to be implemented by the user.  The .wav files need 
to be recorded or obtained elsewhere, and the .ini file needs to be 
modified with entries that will tell the program which file goes with 
which field.

The software isn't free and can be a head scratcher sometimes to get 
configured properly.   The more complex your station and the more stuff 
connected to radio and pc, the harder you scratch.  A very few items 
aren't accessible, but  by and large works very well with JAWS.

73, Steve  KW3A
