Computer is currently a P4 2.4Gig hooked to just about everything. The aluminum paneled console was built back in the 70s when I was running SSTV and it had switches to connect almost anything to almost everything. It now contains the control head for the Tail-Twister rotator (with the RotorEZ interface), a Heath phone patch, a Heath wattmeter, and several more things which I've forgotten and obviously no longer use.

I use Logger32 for many reasons which include: I think it's just about the best one around, I am on the beta test team, and it is free. Logger32 is currently available in its current form which is Version 3.4.0 at:
If you're not currently running a logging program, or if the logging program you're using is unsatisfactory for your work, give Logger32 a try. It's highly configurable for your personal tastes, it interfaces with almost all transceivers, rotors, and antenna switches plus it has advanced interfaces for your computer's sound card for CW, PSK31, RTTY, etc. Also, did I mention, it's absolutely free. Good price, huh? It's a fantastic program.
