I am currently running Linux Ubuntu 10.10 and CQRLOG on my Acer 5742Z
laptop in the shack. CQRLOG is fully integrated with the K3 and
certainly makes DX chasing a lot easier. I recently demonstrated the
setup at my radio club when my friend John G3BFP (FOC) nabbed a Russian
op who was in Taiwan on 20m. The antenna was a bit of wire up a nearby
flagpole. I doubt if we would have found him without the help of CQRLOG.

I have not used Microsoft Windows for the last twelve years and the
Linux GUI has improved considerably in that time.

The current setup is the best operating system and the best logging
program that I have experienced and it is all free of cost.
Never had a virus of any kind since leaving Windows behind :-)
