WELCOME
to the Win-EQF Logging Program web site.
The Log-EQF logging program has been used worldwide by hams since 1989. Log-EQF is now available as a true 32-bit Windows version, called Win-EQF. Win-EQF is designed to run in Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP/VISTA/7.
Win-EQF for Windows provides sophisticated logging and station control features in a flexible and straight-forward package. Tired of all those windows popping-up and cluttering your screen with your present logger? Give our logging software a test drive and stop fighting with your computer when you should be logging QSOs!
ANNOUNCEMENT REGARDING THE WIN-EQF LOGGING PROGRAM
Win-EQF WILL LIVE ON AS Win-EQF*
Win-EQF* is based on Win-EQF v. 1.94S by Tom Dandrea, N3EQF, who decided to bring development of Win-EQF to a halt after serving thousands of users since first publishing Log-EQF for MS-DOS in 1989. However, instead of letting Win-EQF go QRT - Tom decided to look for another programmer to maintain and develop future versions of Win-EQF. After a brief period of discussions - Win-EQF moved across the Atlantic Ocean and is now maintained by Torkel M. Jodalen, LA6VJA, residing in the cute little kingdom of Norway.
Win-EQF* is the "new" product name, with the asterisk added to distinguish between the former N3EQF product and the current LA6VJA product. The plan is to keep Win-EQF* alive and continue maintenance, bug fixing and product development. Win-EQF* will, however, remain true to its roots - there will be no popping windows, no bells and whistles - just pure performance QSO logging with well-considered functionality.
SALES AND DISTRIBUTION
John, K1XN, will continue to head up Sales and Distribution for the new Win-EQF* project. John will also try and assist with the minor issues users may have just as in the past.
Distribution of Win-EQF* will be by download only from the Win-EQF* download page at www.golist.net. As in the past new orders, upgrades and replacements will be available from John, K1XN.
Win-EQF* ONLINE FORUM AND WEBSITE
The new web site for Win-EQF* hosted by LA6VJA is http://www.bitwrap.no/eqf.
A new Win-EQF* forum is being set up on Google Groups. Users helping users is still the most important part of product development and issue solving. The new Win-EQF* forum is located at
Win-EQF* discussion forum
. The forum is limited to members only, but membership is free and can be applied for on-line (members-only forum chosen in order to limit the risk of being spammed by automatic mailers, etc).
PLEASE USE THE NEW Win-EQF* forum on Google Groups for discussions, questions and general follow-ups regarding Win-EQF*.
PRICING
Pricing will remain the same as with the old Win-EQF program.
CUSTOMER SERVICE
Both John and I will strive to continue the customer service for Win-EQF* that you are accustomed to. John will be able to answer emails much faster than I, as I still have a day job and I am out of the country on flights routinely.
For help with logging software purchase or replacement downloads, contact John, K1XN:
support@golist.net.
USER INPUT
You the user will play an important role in the development of the new Win-EQF* versions. Your ideas and suggestions are important to us and we will work on making Win-EQF* even more useful to your logging needs. We must always keep Win-EQF* a simple and easy to use piece of software. Please join with us to keep and improve a great logging program alive and flourishing.
SHORT-TIME PLANS
