I have been using DX4WIN Station Logging Software for about 12 years or more now.

I started using it with Version 4 and I have stayed with it because it is very stable.

Astronomy Logbook Software Software Business For

I have been in the software business for almost 40 years and this has been one of the most stable software packages I have used.

There are not a lot of updates to this software and that is one reason that it is so stable.

A lot of people are coming out with intermediate releases for their software almost daily, and this can lead to failures in their software.

There have been very few bugs in their software, as they have been vetted very well before their release.

This is not a contest logging software package, as it is intended to be your station logging software.

It does a very good job of reporting and keeping up with all of awards that you want to track.

The Packet window connects easily to DXClusters via the internet or via packet radio.

The spot show up in both the Packet Window and the DX Spots Window.

The software automatically highlights the contacts that you need for the various bandmode awards.

I mainly use the ADIF imports from my contesting software and ADIF exports to Logbook of the World (LOTW).

The other nice thing is that you can create your own custom importexport options with their built-in tool.

I am a contester and I either use WriteLog or N1MM and it easily imports the logs into DX4WIN.

As long as you can get the data in some form of logical format, you can build an importexport rule to handle the data, especially if you can get it into an ADIF format.

It comes with several pre-configured label formats and again, they have a built-in tool for creating your own custom QSL labels or even printing directly on your QSL cards.

Since I keep up with the DXCC Challenge Award, I do a lot of QSLing and it handles it very well.

I receive a lot of card requests from contesting and it is easy to use.

Jim Reisert, AD1C, has one of the best pages out there with a lot of tools and automated update functions.

He not only has country files for DX4WIN, but other logging programs, also.

Jim has Country Files, DX Cluster information, DX4WIN Support Site, and Software Tools for Hams.

Some of the Software Tools he has are ADIF County Conversion, ADIF to CQ DX Marathon, Analyze Contest Passing, Cabrillo to CT, Contest Club Score, CT to ADIF, and LOTW to CSV.

I really commend Jim for all the work he does in support of these software packages and databases.
