Dear BG user There are almost as many opinions on logging software as there are radio amateurs. Some use N1MM+ for contesting, others swear by Log4OM or Ham Radio Deluxe with full CAT control, while others use QRZ.com, Cloudlog/Wavelog in their browser or a good old paper logbook. We're considering whether a lightweight Danish logbook solution or handy logging integrations here on Brugtgrej.dk could be useful – for example, linked to your profile/shack, DX Cluster or a mobile view. But before we touch a line of code, we want to hear from those of you at the keys and the microphone. Vote in the poll above – and feel free to leave a reply:1. What matters most to you? (CAT control, LoTW/Club Log/QRZ sync, contest modules or just quick data entry?) 2. Is there anything missing from your current setup? (For example, access from your phone/tablet, a listening log or integration with your Brugtgrej shack?) 3. Or is the market so saturated that we'd be better off putting our energy into something else? Fire away – honest answers are worth their weight in gold! 73, Christiane / OZ1DW

The most important thing for me, and something that isn't mentioned in the answer options, is being able to read what's in the fields and any help text. Many logging programs have tiny, cramped windows and text fields with no way to make them bigger. That's why my choice is HRD (Ham Radio deluxe), where you can change the text size, choose which fields you do and don't want, and enter data relatively easily. Bugs? Yes, there are probably some, but name me a PC program that's bug-free 😆
