Bob,
You are exactly right on both counts. We want to learn more about what's
out there and get started on it as soon as possible to keep down on the
gotcha's.
I just ordered TR Log from their website and will try that one next.
Thanks,
Don

I think they may not be aware of them.
Many of the currently available programs do exactly what you're asking.
Are you looking for recommendations ?
My recommendation is to pick one as soon as possible and get your operators
familiar with it. You don't want to be training them on software during the
contest.
