[LOGic] CommCat v. LOGic 9?

Wed Jan 7 23:57:02 EST 2009

Well, I've never "converted" to CommCat, I've just used it kind like a 
secondary logger on certain occasions. I've been a little frustrated 
that neither program reads the other's ADIF file QSL information 
correctly. CommCat, I believe, uses a more standard internal 
nomenclature, while LOGic uses the more complex, but better and more 
complete, R-F-X system, rather than the simple Y-N system. As I said, 
I've done very little hamming of any type of a few years, but now that 
I'm getting ready to get back into the fray, I'm up to my old 
complaining ways once again! :-)
