DXLog.net project was started by the late Kresimir (Chris or Krešo) Kovarik, 9A5K during the summer of 2011,
with the goal to create the most easy to use and versatile contest logging software available.

DXlog.net has a classic look-and-feel and follows a long standing tradition in keyboard shortcuts and
other user interface components.

Krešo was an avid and generous contester, including a WRTC contestant. He was also a software
professional which, among other things, has given DXLog.net perhaps the most powerful scripting
system and the most advanced support for complex contest rules of all contest loggers.

Shortly before Krešo's key went tragically silent in the early spring of 2019, his close friend
Krassy, K1LZ, acquired all rights to the software, including the source code, and decided to donate
the program to the ham radio community.

At this time a small team was formed to maintain and develop the software. The team is led by Paul K1XM.

Later in the spring Krešo was posthumously inducted into the CQ Contest Hall of Fame for his
contributions to ham radio contesting. The induction speech by Krassy K1LZ can be viewed [HERE].

DXlog.net is still under development. New versions offering new features and defect corrections are released on a regular basis.

The latest version can always be downloaded from [HERE].
