Hi Jacob,

Yes the discussions so far have included VHF/UHF contesting.

To expand a bit on this ... the specific mechanisms and facilities for 
as many types of contest as possible have been part of the discussion - 
this is perhaps as one would expect if designing "an insanely great" 
mac contest logger (to use Don's words) [as opposed to a logger aimed 
at specific limited interests].  However there is a difference between 
the engine house of a piece of software being designed to cope with 
something at some point and the sorts of contest event which would be 
supported at any given time - as with virtually every other contest 
logger I know, the contests supported grow in number as the software 
matures.   Hence I would caution about expectations on day one.

However, it seems as if since my last posting to this list which was an 
attempt to get some positive support for a comprehensive OSX native 
contest logger, I am increasingly sceptical that we will ever get to 
that day one.   I believe there is general agreement about there being 
a gap in the market for a top flight MacLogger Contest package along 
the lines that has been outlined.  However I am unsure that  this list 
contains the audience that will ever form sufficient consensus to allow 
such a project to get going.  We will see.
