Hey everyone,
I'm starting to write a logger program for Mac, and was wondering what makes a good program; that is, what parameters should be logged.
The main reasons being:
1. I'm a software developer and want to try my hand at something new (OS X apps aren't what I usually develop), and what better to write than something I can use? If I develop a good enough app, I might be able to put it on the App Store.
2. I'm a new ham (still haven't made first contact, eh) and loggers measure parameters that I don't understand nor have experience with, so writing my own only need contain things that I'll find useful, like callsign, time, frequency, etc.
Put simply, what features would you all like to see/expect to see/think is useful in a logging program? I want to try to build something that might be helpful to people other than myself.
73s,
Eli
