Subject: [Dx-qsl] free logbook + win7
hello to all
anyone have a good free logbook that works in win 7 64
>>>DXKeeper is free, and runs on 64-bit Windows 64. It

- tracks confirmation and verification of QSOs for DXCC, TopList, and WAZ
awards, highlighting needed DX spots, automatically generating outgoing QSLs
that request confirmation of needed QSLs, identifying confirmed QSOs for
submission to the ARRL DXCC desk, and generating DXCC submission paperwork
- reports progress towards DXCC, TopList, Challenge, VUCC, Marathon, WAS,
WAC, IOTA, WAZ, WPX, USA-CA, Canadaward, Holyland, DOK, WAE, WAB, DDFM, SRR,
RDA, WAHUC, WAIP, WAJA, JCC, JCG, and AJA awards
- synchronizes with LotW and eQSL.cc, initiating upload and download
operations with a single mouse click without requiring the user to manually
invoke TQSL, deal with ADIF files, or use a separate application
- extracts address information from all 3 CDROM callbooks and QRZ.com (free
with advertising, or no advertising with subscription)
- provides one-click access to more than 80 web-accessible sources of QSL
information
- directly prints QSL labels and 4-to-a-page QSL cards
- directly prints addresses on envelopes or labels
- provides operations that can alter many logged QSOs simultaneously without
requiring the user to modify ADIF files -- e.g. performing callbook lookups
on already-logged QSOs, or adjusting the start times of QSOs logged during a
specific time range, or extracting QTH information from COMMENT fields,
or...
>>>DXKeeper is a member of the free-ware DXLab Suite, a set of 8
applications that can operate independently, but detect each other's
presence and interoperate automatically. You can start with one application
like DXKeeper, and then incrementally install additional applications like
Commander for transceiver control, WinWarbler for PSK and RTTY operations,
DXView for the display of information on a world map and rotator control,
Pathfinder for QSL route discovery, Spotcollector for realtime DX spot
aggregation and analysis, and PropView for propagation prediction and
monitoring. With all DXLab components running, the DXLab also
- controls up to 4 transceivers, with optional transceiver selection by
frequency
- supports transverters for 6m, 4m, 2m, and 70cm operation
- can direct a secondary transceiver or receiver to follow the primary
transceiver's frequency and mode
- interoperates with SDR Consoles used as panadaptors (e.g. SpectraVue) or
skimmers (e.g. CW Skimmer)
- provides 10 banks of 10 memories, with the ability to continuously scan a
bank's frequencies
- displays frequency-dependent settings for devices like tuners, amplifiers,
and antenna switches, with optional control via parallel port signals
- provides user-defined transceiver control sequences initiated by up to 16
buttons and up to 8 sliders; see
<http://www.dxlabsuite.com/commander/screenshot1.jpg>
- provides both map-driven and callsign-driven operation of all commercial
PC-controllable rotators
- captures DX spots from up to 6 sources (telnet clusters, packetclusters,
DX Summit), creating and maintaining a local database with one entry for
each active DX station that is color coded by "need" and LotW/eQSL
participation, and whose entries can be independently filtered and displayed
in a table, on its world map, and on a zoomable bandspread
- optionally announces needed DX spots, and includes a web server that makes
all spots browser-accessible from anywhere on your home network
- extracts QSX frequencies from DX spot notes, enabling accurate transceiver
setup for split frequency operation with one user action
- captures solar and geomagnetic data from WWV spots and uses this data to
display easy-to-understand QST-style graphical propagation forecasts, and to
depict the auroral oval on its world map (choice of VOACAP, ICEPAC, or
IONCAP propagation forecasting engines, all of which are included)
- monitors user-specified NCDXF/IARU HF beacon schedules to rapidly
calibrate propagation forecasts with actual propagation
- decodes all PSK31 or PSK63 or PSK125 QSOs within your transceiver's
bandpass and extract callsigns to create and maintain a "stations heard"
window
- simultaneously runs soundcard RTTY (using the MMTTY engine) and an
optional external modem (e.g. a KAM or PK232) to provide diversity decoding
or the ability to simultaneously decode a DX station and callers
- supports PSK, RTTY, CW (generation only), and Phone (voice keying) with a
single user interface and macro facility
- interoperates with MultiPSK, MMSSTV, MMVARI, MMTTY, MixW, Fldigi, DM780,
HRD, DX Atlas, and CW Skimmer
- is updated with user-suggested features frequently, and downloads/installs
upgrades with a single mouse click
- is driven by an active and friendly user community open to everyone
User-reported defects are generally corrected within 24 hours. At this
moment, the number of reported but uncorrected defects across all members of
the DXLab Suite is 0.
DXLab is available via
