[HCDX] FW: Scan320, Scan320DB, and B-Log: Final release

["Guy Atkins" <dx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

About a month ago I alerted the DXplorer and HCDX folks to a beta-upgrade of
a useful logging program, B-Log, with features geared toward the mediumwave
and shortwave DXer.

Tom Lackamp the software author has now posted his production release of
B-Log, as well as two other programs. These are all freeware.

A number of bugs have been fixed since B-Log's beta release and new features
added. I find the program to be very useful for generating publishable DX
loggings, mainly because Tom was kind enough to incorporate all of my
suggestions for MW and SWBC DX use.

B-Log will also appeal to the UTE DXer, since the software was originally
written with that use in mind.

73, Guy

Folks,

   I just posted the final versions of Scan320, Scan320DB, and B-Log at

          http://www.qsl.net/ab9b

   New since the beta releases:

     -  The bad news:  These programs don't run on Windows XP systems.

     -  Scan320:  five user-programmable data modes, plus a few words
                  in the documentation about tuning data signals.

    -  Scan320DB: an integrated propagation calculator, displaying
                  MUF/LUF plots for the selected record or between
                  any two locations.  Very easy to use.

    -  B-Log: all publishable exports can now be bulk sorted after record
              extraction. What this means is that you can
              extract loggings from more than one day of monitoring and
              still wind up with a unified, sorted list of publishable
              exports.

   I think this just might be the last release, at least for a while, of
the Scan320 family.  I don't have an XP system now, and don't foresee
upgrading either of my laptops to XP anytime soon, so I won't be able to
fix the XP problem in the near term.

   So far as the rest of the features go, I think all three programs do
everything that they need to do.  Unless I can figure out some way to
incorporate automatic scanning in Scan320, that's pretty much it.

   Thanks to everyone who has been so helpful during the V1.1 family
development.

   Enjoy!

All my best,

   Tom
