Data Your Way
"For folks like me, Reception Log has found a very easy, yet elegant method
of making dropdown entry choices user customizable. Using the 'Modules' command,
all dropdown [list boxes] such as antenna, mode, etc., can be personalized to
your exact words and radio monitoring or Ham tastes. Now, when you select one of
these [dropdown list boxes on the Reception Log window] you will be able to select an entry
from your customized choices."
"There are thirteen menus that can be customized to the user’s radio habit(s).
Some information fields are geared toward Ham loggings such as CQ Zone, but
the majority of data fields are useful to all radio logging needs."
User Defined Fields
"If you need/want more custom fields, look to the 'User Defined Fields' tab.... Using
the 'Preferences' menu, all seven fields on this screen can be customized."
"Outstanding Logging Program"
"As it stands Reception Log is an outstanding logging program, one of the best I’ve used.
Yes, this is a true 'full spectrum' logging program."

"Hands-down the Best Logging Software!"
"I have dabbled with other logging programs over the years, just to see what
is out there, and I can say without hesitation that DXtreme Station Log is
user-friendly, crash-proof and completely flexible. It is a joy to use
DXtreme. It's hands-down the best logging software, at any price, on the
market."

"Station Log provides multimedia and advanced functions that can add
functionality to Amateur Radio logging activities."
"Station Log can generate a variety of reports and output them to printers,
as well as to the DXtreme Active Report Viewer. The viewer lets hams
view and sort reports within Microsoft Internet Explorer."

Windows, DXtreme Reception Log, is like DXtreme SWRL
Version 2.5 on steroids!

it to at least two groups that I hang with on the
Internet.

they do it all. DXtreme Reception Log is the only
application that addresses all of the various radio
monitors and users. Good luck with what is a great
product. DXtreme Reception Log is one of a kind!"

Reports
"The DXtreme SWRLgold (the previous version of DXtreme Reception Log) Report menu
gives the user a whole host of report variations.
A report can be generated showing all European stations listed by time of reception.
Or all the French-language stations....I think you get the flexibility of this
program's report feature."
QSL Imaging
"QSL Imaging allows you to add a scanned image of the coveted received QSL. Of
course, for this you need a photo/flatbed image scanner."
Help
"All the help you could ask for is available in the program. One Help method comes
in the form of 'What's This?' notes, which appear with a right-mouse click over the
object in question. The Help menu is extensively and dynamically accessed through
click-on procedural steps. Within fifteen minutes, most people can feel comfortable
and confident."
Professional
"SWRLgold V3.0 is the result of a professional effort, and it shows. I think that
SWRLgold V3.0 will make you throw away your paper log forever."

"I Love It!"
"I just received and installed my new DXtreme SWRLgold software.
I must say that I love it. I sort of purchased it without any
particular knowledge of it. I figured at the low price you are
asking for it, that I didn't have much to lose. Actually, I am
quite surprised that it is as inexpensive as it is. The program
is great and is very well thought out. I already started logging
some stations and it took only a few minutes in order to get
acquainted with the basic features and capabilities of the program.
I wish to express a tip of the hat to you and your co-workers. You have
done a splendid job! I look forward to using DXtreme SWRLgold for many years."
Dan Dankert, N6PEQ/ZF2RE of Tustin,

"Outstanding Program!"
"OUTSTANDING program and I thank you very much. It is everything
I had hoped for and much more."
Norm Constanti of Rosebud, MO.
"Best Investment!"
"Wanted to drop you a note to let you know how pleased I am with the
program. It's very easy to use, and VERY well thought out. I've
used a lot of different computer programs for logbooks, and
this is by far the best I've ever come across. It's the best
investment I've ever made in this hobby! Bravo!"
Jim Tedford of Seattle, WA
"Far Beyond Any Logging Program!"
"The SWRLgold program got to Taiwan today and I'm happy to see
it. I see you have a very well written program with functions
far beyond any logging program I've sampled. Good job!"
James Thomas of Taiwan
