Agree with Joe on LoTW, Club Log and EQSL plus...
I'd like to see support for QRZ XML. I purchased HRD (Ham Radio Deluxe) for
DM-780 and have been testing their logging program. It uses QRZ's "live" XML
call sign database to fill in Name, City, address etc. in the QSO/QSL info
blocks. You can also choose to have a popup of the new contacts QRZ page.
QRZ has also discontinued their download and CD database service. The most
popular logging programs are now including as an option XML service for Ham
call and QRZ. With the XML service you get the latest call sign data base
because your pulling it off the QRZ internet site. This would be an option
feature you could choose to use.
I also believe there is an active list of LoTW stations that are available
for download. HRD uses it with the DX cluster display noting an "L" for a
station that confirms with LoTW. It updates the LoTW list almost every time
you use the program. It would be a nice feature to add LoTW to the DX Base
Summary window.

Steve,
Besides a LoTW interface, an eQSL and Club Log interface would be nice. In
the existing qsling/award tracking area; to be able to index on more fields
(some would call them columns) would sure be nice and more current type
choices in the QSL Via drop down list. Those are just some examples.
