xhamlog QSO Logger

xhamlog
xhamlog is a GTK+ QSO logging application for ham radio. In its current form its not fully-featured and has no user manual, but I have made it available anyhow. xhamlog has built-in CAT control for the FT847 and FT857 transceivers, from which it can read some QSO data, like frequency, mode and signal strength and enter in the log record. xhamlog can log QSO's in a text file as well as in an ADIF formatted file and can import log files produced by my xpsk31 and xfhell communication programs. It can also produce QSL cards in a printable (A4 sized) Postscript file. I hope given spare time to write a user's manual, at least if I also have time to add more features to this application.
