[MacLoggerContest] epilogue (for now!)

[Jonathan G0DVJ]

Hi to all who are still on this list that we set up near the start of 
2005 for discussions on any consensus for a MacLogger Contest program 
for OSX.  I just wanted to tie up some loose ends for those of you that 
may have thought I had gone and slit my wrists having failed to achieve 
the level of consensus required !!

There was quite a lot of detailed discussion directly between Don 
(VE3VRW), Scott (NE1RD) and myself during April which have resulted in 
a number of contest additions around that time to the existing MLDX 
software by Don.  I was then away in USA and Canada for most of May and 
then travelling again in Europe during June.  In the last month I have 
been too ill with a virus to bother too much about such a posting as 
this.   So apologies for the silence until now.

I would like to thank everyone who contributed to the list, especially 
Don who has shown considerable patience with us all in trying to follow 
the immensely detailed and specialised contest requirements for logging 
and subsequently adding some very useful features to MLDX for basic 
contest working.

I conclude for the moment that there is consensus that a dedicated MLC 
application for pure OSX suited for demanding contest operators as well 
as easy enough basic features for the casual participant is still 
something that would have a market and for which a gap still exists.
I also conclude that there is insufficient impetus at this time for 
such software to be developed as a new commercial application.  I hope 
that this may change in the future.

Thanks again all.
73,
