OT: Logging software

[Julian, G4ILO]

This is a bit off-topic, although I'm asking in the context of the K3
operating software I'm writing (more info on this at
www.g4ilo.com/kcommunicate.html .) My program will keep a log of
contacts made with it in MixW log format, because that's what I'm
already using. If you use MixW already you will even be able to use
the same log file. However, not everyone will want to use MixW for log
management. At the same time I have no interest in adding full log
analysis and contest scoring capabilities to my program. I don't chase
awards and only enter contests for fun so I don't really have any
experience in how those requirements might be met.

Is it possible to operate using one program (e.g. mine) and then
export the log via say an ADIF file into another logging software in
order to manage your award-chasing, contest scoring or whatever? If
so, does anyone have any suggestions?

With Log Window 4.5 you can now have it connect to your MixW log, so
anything logged in MixW goes into the LW log simultaneously without the need
to do an export/import.  --Dale, K4EQ
