Ham2K Portable Logger has been a mainstay in the field for a growing number of portable operators since its development by Sebastian Delmont, KI2D. The Amateur Radio Software Award committee has chosen to honor the free downloadable logger, citing its "intuitive, user-friendly interfaces and a suite of convenient features." The software's support of Worldwide Flora & Fauna, Summits on the Air, Parks on the Air and the ARRL Field Day has helped grow its popularity. Details about the logger can be found at polo dot ham2k dot com (polo.ham2K.com).
Meanwhile, mark your calendars for the 7th through the 17th of November, when the committee will activate special-event stations K6A K6R and K6S - that spells ARS for Amateur Radio Software - to honor this year's winner and to solicit nominees for next year's award. The international award is given for open-source software projects that promote innovation and freedom in amateur radio.
