[DogParkList] Ideas

Thu Jun 8 18:00:00 EDT 2006

I am a SWL and new user of MacLoggerDX, and would love to see a  
feature whereby I could indicate on the QSL that I received a  
station, rather than stating that there was a QSO.

Also, is there a way to download the map in its entirety? I know I  
can copy whatever appears on the screen at the moment, but I'd love  
to save the entire map (with whatever I happened to be displaying at  
the moment) and post it on my webpage.

Anyhow, I am beyond pleased with the program and am sure that the new  
version will be excellent. It certainly beats the plethora of  
spreadsheets, notebooks, and bug-laden or often featureless free  
programs I was using.
