Why don't you offer to write a driver for your radio ? He is making  
the source code and project available - if that isn't handing it to  
you on a silver platter I don't know what is.

The fact that it uses a custom font is bad how ?

And all contesters.

Someone finally develops a CT like contest logger for the Mac and  
still you complain ?

Skookumlogger was developed by Bill K1GQ who is the DRI for the Open  
Sourced CT contest logger. He is a very well known contester and a  
MacLoggerDX user since 2002. I doubt you can do too much better than  
he can when it comes to a contest logger.

Frankly David I find your reaction nothing short of astonishing.
