MacloggerDX and Mac mini update

Now that I have had MacloggerDX for about a month of actual use I can state the following:

MacloggerDX

  1. The software performs smoothly.
  2. The program interfaces very well with LOTW, Clublog and WSJT-X (took some effort – see 3.3 below)
  3. There are certain items that I knew going in that I would miss.  I have to say I miss them more than I thought I would.  This is no fault of MacloggerDX as it never claimed to do these things.
    1. No user defined fields.
    2. Weak rig control especially for Elecraft
    3. Talking with WSJT-X and FLDIGI was far from intuitive.  (thank you K0PIR)

Mac mini

  1. The little computer works very well with fast boot up and shutdown.
  2. The computer has a great footprint for a small shack
  3. Core Mac software runs very smoothly
  4. MAC is far from Ham Radio mainstream
